Wannaknow Posted June 27, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Am in the throes of packing for the 1st time to Alaska:eek:. If you need things pressed upon arrival - about how long does it take for them to get the clothing back to you? Also, does anyone know the apx. cost? One more thing please, does Oceania provide hand/body lotion in the cabins? Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimandStan Posted June 27, 2011 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2011 oops!. I forgot part two. No hand or body lotion in the standard cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted June 27, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 27, 2011 If you're in a PH or higher you'll get four garments pressed for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepawa Posted June 27, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2011 You can go to the laundry room on Deck 7 where there are two irons. We have used them often for that quick touch-up. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TERRIER1 Posted June 27, 2011 #7 Share Posted June 27, 2011 oops!. I forgot part two. No hand or body lotion in the standard cabins. We had hand lotion in our B4 on the Marina and in the R class ships as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredFL Posted June 27, 2011 #8 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I thing we had lotion also. There are irons and boards in the laundry room and as soon as we unpack we take our shirts, etc down and touch up the collars and fronts. Everyone else is still using the machines so the irons are usually free. True pressing takes overnight at minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanny18 Posted June 27, 2011 #9 Share Posted June 27, 2011 oops!. I forgot part two. No hand or body lotion in the standard cabins. I guess you haven't stayed in any "standard" cabins. We do get hand lotion and shampoo and conditioner and face and shower soap!! Even get a hand held dryer!! And would you believe, even a small fridge!!:rolleyes: Arlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted June 27, 2011 #10 Share Posted June 27, 2011 They provide hand/body lotion even in the cheap seats Shampoo, creme rinse, bath soap & showergel also We use the irons in the laundry room much quicker & cheaper;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that if we had asked, they would have given us some, but to be honest, when it wasn't there, I assumed that it was a Suite-only thing and never mentioned it. It never appeared later in the cruise, but perhaps that was an oversight on the stewards' part. As an aside, I'm not crazy about the hand creme that is furnished in the Suites (Hermes). It has far too much scent, and an unpleasant greasy texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since our first Oceania voyage in October 2003 we've always had hand lotion....perhaps your cabin attendance just forgot you....Arlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredFL Posted June 27, 2011 #13 Share Posted June 27, 2011 We have been sailing with Oceania since 2005 and have always had a compete selection of bathroom/shower products. We have always been encouraged to take the products home with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannaknow Posted June 27, 2011 Author #14 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Thanks all - it's a relief to know there are irons in the laundry room and we are on Deck 7. If there isn't any hand lotion, I will ask as for some reason I bought everything in reasonable sizes except hand lotion:rolleyes:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted June 28, 2011 #15 Share Posted June 28, 2011 If you apply hand lotion before pressing your garments you'll be able to glide the iron more quickly and smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
