ann141 Posted June 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2019 We are sailing soon and it will be our first time as Elite tier.I understand Laundry is included but does this include sending something to be ironed or is it just a washing service? Also if my husbands DJ needs cleaning will they do that for free or will I pay extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Princess provides one. 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted June 15, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) Dinner jacket? that would cost, if you want it cleaned correctly. Edited June 15, 2019 by neverbeenhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare karatemom2 Posted June 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) Yes we often send things out just to be ironed. We have stopped bothering with a garment bag so DH just packs his suit - first evening we send it in to be pressed so it’s all spiffy for formal night. So you can definitely get your husbands dinner jacket cleaned and pressed! Edited June 15, 2019 by karatemom2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted June 15, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 15, 2019 DW says ironing only can be included. Realize you may not get it back for a couple of days. As per Colo Cruiser, I wonder if the DJ will be dressed in a DJ. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be aware also of long turn around times for the laundry, sometimes 3 days or more. Double check with your cabin Stewart about those times. I am always wary anymore of using the cleaning service as they use a very high heat. I don't send anything delicate out I have not had issues with any suit or dinner jackets. We have not had any additional charges for things that we have sent out. There is a clothes iron in the self serve laundry rooms if you are so inclined.

Rare oskidunker Posted June 15, 2019 #11 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Stuff gets wrinkled even in a garment bag. I have a tux shirt that has a yellowed collar so I will send it out the first day rather than paying to have it cleaned here. Also send out the tux if anything gets in it. Last cruise I brought some sweaters that needed cleaning and sent them out also. Dry cleaning is not cheap here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare karatemom2 Posted June 15, 2019 #14 Share Posted June 15, 2019 One other thing that I didn’t realize when we first became Elite and started using free laundry services was that it would incur a charge on our cruise account. This is followed by a credit but it isn’t always immediate. I found it confusing the first time. But just double check your bill to make sure all the charges are cancelled out by a credit.

Thrak Posted June 15, 2019 #15 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Not yet being Elite I had no idea it was a freebie to have a suit ironed. SWEET! (Two cruises this fall October/November and after the first one we will have 154 days. 🥃) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted June 15, 2019 #17 Share Posted June 15, 2019 When you see the charges appear on your account, it means your laundry is ready. Ask your cabin steward about it if it hasn't been delivered yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royal65 Posted June 15, 2019 #19 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Experience has taught us to never send anything to a ship's laundry that we care if it gets damaged or discolored. HAL is the worst, Oceania the best and Princess somewhere in the middle -- although, I suspect like everything else, this is ship specific. I think socks are the only thing my wife will send of hers. On ships that don't have self-laundries, she washes her delicates in the sink and hangs them to dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
