patsfan2014 Posted December 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 26, 2019 We are doing back to back cruises on 2 different cruise lines. Our first cruise is on the Epic and our 2nd cruise is on the MSC Seaside. So I was wondering the price of using the laundry services on the Epic. Thanks for any info.

NCL has a "fill the bag" Special $19.95, usually mid-week. Turn-around time is usually a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsfan2014 Posted December 26, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Thanks for the info. Sounds cheaper than a cab ride back and forth to a laundromat and the price to use the machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cementhands Posted December 26, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 26, 2019 We used the service on the gem October 2019. You stuff a bag. Pre stretch bag first. Cramming everything in there but you have to inventory it first. $19.95 special. Gave it in the morning and it was back folded in a neat basket that evening. Perfect. Missing one ankle sock. Casualty’s of laundry. We’re platinum so it might have been free. I even did mine a second time to get clean laundry for going home. Side note celebrity elite and above we enjoyed 2 free bags. Great for transatlantic following land trip in Europe. Used on RCL also. Less luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying by piece on any other day is costly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvgirl Posted December 26, 2019 #6 Share Posted December 26, 2019 How big are the laundry bags. My husband's clothes are on the large side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approximately 16 by 22 inches. It is a paper bag, so care is needed not to rip the bag. But that being said, you can fit a lot in it by rolling the clothes tightly. I’ve also heard of people reinforcing the bags with packing tape. And again, be sure to itemize on the form provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted December 26, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 26, 2019 if you're a visual person, picture the size of a pillow case. And yes, if you roll your clothes, you can fit a lot inside the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvgirl Posted December 26, 2019 #9 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Thank you all. This is my 32nd cruise, but my longest cruise (16 days/15 nights + land post-cruise) without self-laundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted December 26, 2019 #10 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Before stuffing the bag ask the steward for a pillowcase, put the pillowcase inside the laundry bag and then tightly roll your clothes. I would hesistate about putting lingerie in there. I wash out socks and undies in the shower and dry them on the line in there. My compression socks unfortunately came back very small, so I quit putting socks in laundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAHAM Posted December 27, 2019 #11 Share Posted December 27, 2019 For 50+ years, I have washed underwear, socks and polo shirts in hotel and ship sinks using travel packets of soap (Woolite, Tide, Dreft, etc.) and dried them on bathroom drying lines.
