NSWP Posted January 18, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Does solstice have a laundry room with iron!!! It certainly does not, no self service laundries at all, of course they have the Ship's laundry service, pay up !. Use the balcony for drying after washing out one's lighter clothes in the cabin bathroom. No irons available. We were on Solstice in March last year, Syd-Auck.

NSWP Posted January 18, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) I saw it on Sun Princess in 2008, two couples got put off at Broome after feuding throughout the ship for a couple of days after a bout of laundry rage. We did not need to use the laundry because we got the complimentary Elite laundry, but our cabin was almost opposite the laundry door. It was louder than a Jeff Fenech fight and fisticuffs.

Aussieflyer Posted January 18, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 18, 2014 No laundry but not overly expensive to send a bag or two to be done. I never use laundries on ships anyway - for one not part if the holiday and two not sure what was in there before mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted January 18, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Most cruise lines have a 'special laundry deal' during the cruise, where you fill a bag for a reduced rate. Way to go, more $ for vino ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they do a package where you pay a fee for the whole cruise and they do your laundry? HAL do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL do that. From memory they had a 'one off' $20 special on Solstice last year. So I am guessing normal price per bag is $30.

Aussieflyer Posted January 19, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Apart from the special "bag" of laundry, items are priced individually and you fill in a laundry form like in a hotel. Prices are not that bad. They do not have like a regular bag which is then on special for $20. They do not have a single payment for all laundry for the voyage like HAL. Interesting idea. How much did it cost? When looking at the pictures from the Solstice all I can think of is that they are cheapskates! Passengers are not to leave items unattended on balconies anyway as there is the risk of them being blown overboard. There is a line in the shower for small items. If being able to do your own laundry is so important to people, they should choose a different cruise line. Here is the laundry price list from Host Andy over on the X board - came from early 2013: Laundry Services Item/Price Jacket $5.95 Pants $4.95 Long Sleeved Shirt $4.95 Short Sleeved Shirt $3.95 Sweater $4.95 Shorts $3.95 Dress $7.95 Skirt $4.95 Pajamas $3.95 Handkerchief $1.95 T-shirt $2.95 Undergarments $1.95 Swimsuit $2.95 Socks, pair $1.95 Dry-Cleaning Item/Price Suit $12.95 Jacket $7.95 Pants $5.95 Long Sleeved Shirt $5.95 Short Sleeved Shirt $ 4.95 Sweater $6.95 Shorts $4.95 Dress $12.95 Skirt $5.95 Necktie/Tie $3.95 Pressing Only Item/Price Suit $5.95 Jacket $4.95 Pants $3.95 Long Sleeved Shirt $3.95 Short Sleeved Shirt $2.95 Sweater $3.95 Shorts $2.95 Dress $5.95 Skirt $3.95 Edited January 19, 2014 by Aussieflyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted January 19, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I agree, the laundry does look a little tardy on the balconies, like a Chinese Junk. Next thing will be the 'Laundry Police' checking balconies and confiscating clothes. Edited January 19, 2014 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz50r Posted January 19, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I found the list above on the Faqs in the celebrity site.... This particular lady wanted to iron her clothes which she is concerned would be all wrinkled after her flight from the US... Actually looking at the prices reminded me of how people get their suits dry cleaned at the end of a cruise as it is so much cheaper than having it done at home.

Yes $12.95 to dry clean a suit, good value, I just paid $30 here to get my $100 Lowes Armani suit cleaned. No it did not fall apart, LOL.

KarateMan Posted January 19, 2014 #21 Share Posted January 19, 2014 When the cruise line really only has short cruises in mind they do not see fit wasting space on a laundry. If you look at the history of cruising most of the lines out of America offer 4 to 7 night sailings around the Caribbean, Mexico and West Coast sailings to Alaska are of 7 nights or less. Most people do a weekly cycle of washing meaning that you will take a weeks worth of clothing with you hence the lack of need for a laundry. These days cruises are getting longer with the international guests who have better holidays than the Americans who are restricted on the number of days they can take on vacation each year.

Our last cruise with HAL the laundry package cost $95 for 14 nights, and that was for our family of 4. I put out a bag full of the 1st day, as we had a couple of nights in Sydney beforehand. The package said no pressing, but the clothes did come back pressed, and the rest in a basket. Very good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
