voljeep Posted April 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2019 well aware of the self-service, machines, tokens, irons and ironing boards ... Going to spend a couple days pre-cruise, so 'may' want to send a few things when we first get on the ship to use later during the cruise I'm 'guessing' we just put them in some kind of bag left in the room - mark our 'ticket' , then give them to Stewart I hope someone will post a printable pic of that ticket ... Next - what actually happens in the laundry room? - I'm again guessing that our clothes are kept separate in some kind of bag - then 'processed' with the other passengers ? - are the clothes kept 'in the bag' during the washing process ? I also know that there is no more "dry" cleaning ... but some kind of other process - is that what we should choose for shorts / shirts ? - I've read a few threads about the high temps used and the dreaded 'shrinkage' never used that Princess service ... but since it's an included perk ...well Anyway - thanks to all who respond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare c-boy Posted April 21, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2019 i can tell ya that they tag your laundered items with your room # 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombud Posted April 21, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2019 The bags are paper, so no, it's not kept in the bag. All items are tagged with an identifier then washed or dry cleaned and pressed unless you request no pressing. You will be charged when it's done and a credit for that charge will then appear within 24 hours. On my recent cruises they now requested that no cleaning be sent in the last 3 days.

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted April 21, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Being that the cruise is a 4 day, you won't be able to do much cleaning. Probably just what you bring on that needs to be cleaned and possibly stuff from your first day. As others have said, it's a white paper bag that gets sent down. You put your name and cabin number on the front of the bag where (you'll see where to do this) Fill out the included form where you will put your name, cabin number and mark off each kind of item and put the entire form into the bag. I take a picture with my phone of what the tag looks like so I have proof of what I sent in. If you don't see your steward you can simply leave it on the bed and they will take it when the come into your suite. You can have anything either laundered or their version of "dry cleaning". The water they use to wash is extremely hot so I wouldn't put anything in there that you don't mind shrinking a bit. I have sent things out to be "cleaned" and have not had much issue. They are great at pressing shirts but boy not my husband's khaki golf shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted April 21, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 21, 2019 OP: take the Ultimate Ship Tour and they'll show you how it's done. As stated the clothes (with some exceptions) have a tag attached (usually stuck on in an inconspicuous place that's guaranteed to irritate your skin if you can't find it). I wouldn't choose "dry" cleaning for shorts/shirts (exception maybe dress shirts), but we don't pack newer clothes for the ship. If it gets ruined, it's no great loss. We've been Elite for at least our last 8 cruises and never had any thing get ruined or shrink. I know from postings here that it does happen.

So I deferred...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potstech Posted April 21, 2019 #12 Share Posted April 21, 2019 There is also self serve washers and dryers on most decks. You can use them to do some laundry to wear home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't mind doing to the laundry in the laundromat. Since I exercise each day, it is easier to do laundry then to drag more clothes with me. Three weeks from tomorrow I will be flying down to Fort Lauderdale ! Sali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted April 21, 2019 #14 Share Posted April 21, 2019 When we sent things out, we mark everything "Cleaned" except for his udies which we mark "Laundry". Never had a problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave him a Consumate Host nomination, and showed him what I'd written about him. He was stunned at the comprehensive detail I'd provided of the various ways he'd helped me on my 1st cruise. I REALLY appreciated his careful guidance, it was my 1st ever cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
