I think they only have them on longer cruises (my longest was 10 days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNGALNG Posted September 8, 2012 #5 Share Posted September 8, 2012 There are laundromats on almost every floor on a Princess ship. They will have irons and tables set up for you to use. I always do my own laundry on cruises longer than 7 days and use them all the time. I have only seen the irons being used twice! I agree, it is a great way to meet new people and learn the gossip too! I have also seen the room stewards running in and ironing something on the fly but have no idea if they get paid and/or how much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted September 8, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Below isw a recent Princess laundry price list. Pressing only is 80% the cost of cleaning and pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzebird Posted September 8, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Wow, I think I'll be doing my own laundry. $4.00 to wash and dry as opposed to $1.75 per 'dainty' or $3.75 for a nightgown and $4.50 for jeans! I'll spend the money I save in the git shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted September 8, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I've never seen a "fill a bag" special. I think they only have them on longer cruises (my longest was 10 days).Yes, they're sometimes (I don't want to use the word "usually") offered on longer cruises. As for the cost of sending your things out to be laundered, that's why the unlimited free laundry is such a great perk for Elite cruisers. :) On a longer cruise, this becomes a big perk.

Please note it is not traditional dry cleaning as that involves chemicals no longer used at sea. On the laundry list the column is labeled "Cleaning", not "Dry Cleaning."

ncsongbird Posted September 10, 2012 #12 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I know that Princess has laundry specials (fill a bag). Does anyone know how much it is for ironing only, do they have any special for this? Cherie I think I remember paying $20 for laundry on our last 10 day cruise. About day 6 they had a "special" that had a set price for all the things you can fit in the plastic bag. My husband rolled everything into pretty small tight rolls. You'd be surprised what you can fit in the bag that way. It all came back neatly folded or hung on hangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheelmjfan Posted September 11, 2012 #14 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm hoping they offer a bag special on our 10 day cruise in case we need anything laundered. Unlike many, I have no intention of doing laundry or ironing on my vacation, unless I need to hand wash something in the sink. I'm not a light packer, so a bag special would probably be enough to fit anything we need cleaned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess uses the same paper bags as for the non-special deays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggal Posted September 11, 2012 #17 Share Posted September 11, 2012 When I'm on a cruise, I'm on vacation. Vacation from everything I normally do at home - including laundry. I factor in the cost of sending a few things out to be laundered as part of the cost of the cruise, and then I can really feel like I'm on vacation.
