Host Dan Posted January 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Some close friends of my TA are currently on Odyssey and claim that SB has stopped dry cleaning service onboard. Can anyone comment on the other ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamfordian Posted January 6, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Given your special relationship with powers that be in Seattle can you not verify this from the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florisdekort Posted January 6, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Available as always on Sojourn right now. Perhaps a piece of equipment broke on Odyssey and it’s therefore temporary unavailable? I’ve had that before on a different line. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Dan Posted January 6, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted January 6, 2018 This is the reply that my TA received from SB: Thank you for contacting us in regards to the dry cleaning process. Over the past year, all Seabourn ships have moved from a chemical based dry cleaning to a new method called Eco Wet Cleaning. It is correct that this is in a movement towards a more environmentally conscious way of cleaning while protecting our environment, as well as our crew on board from the very harsh chemicals of standard dry cleaning.Most garments can still be cleaned with this process, but there are some materials which do not allow for us to clean them, the risk of damaging the garment is too high.

wripro Posted January 6, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Huh??? Absolutely appropriate response. I guess being a critic on CC now extends to criticizing other peoples' queries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Able Seaman H Posted January 6, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Makes sense to me. Dry cleaning uses some pretty horrible chemicals which have the potential to cause various issues. Seabourn are moving to a water based cleaning process which can clean the vast majority of clothing items formerly deemed "dry clean only" but it is not dry clean in the traditional sense. Not wanting to have loads of people complaining Seabourn are not calling the new process dry cleaning. Seems pretty straight forward to me. You might find that your local dry cleaning company eventually follows suit. Henry :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickaz Posted January 7, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Actually they have changed on Sojourn as well at least on the holiday cruise. I didn't use it but there was a note to that effect either in the closet or the laundrette I can't recall which.

Ravenscroft Posted January 7, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Agree with wickaz, on the Holiday cruise there was a notification in the suite the same as Dan received. I have a couple of silk blouses that I took away with me but decided not to risk having them cleaned by this new method. Will be interested to read any future feedback.
