Laundry in Club Balcony Suites

[Russiamomm]

Hi everyone.  For the Club Balcony Suites the website says you get “Complimentary choice of one valet laundry or pressing service”.  What exactly does this mean?  Is it one item or is it a bag of laundry?  Thanks!

We just got off the Jade and had a club Balcony--our cabin steward put a fairly large bag in our room for laundry, we had 8 t-shirts and other undergarments.  Everything was returned two days later.

Excellent!  Thank you.  I’m on a B2B so will definitely need some laundry done.

although you get afree bag of laundry done as a club balcony perk, there are frequent offers of laundry 

service throughout the cruise for a slight charge.

I saw that the mid week special is 29.99 a bag.  It’s gone up.  I think it was $15 or $20 when I cruised last.  I think that’s high for that small bag.

This Cub Balcony fill-a-bag offer is a 1 day service (dropped off the next night). The standard paid fill-a-bag is 2 day service (dropped off the second night).

That bag holds so much . I was shocked. We still had room.

Do not put anything in that you are even slightly concerned about shrinking. I had 3 items that I can never wear again. And even an old t-shirt that I have had for a while was little snug. But husbands clothes all came out great.

my wife has the uncanny ability to stuff the bag to the gills. we always take advantage of the sales on laundry, and even use the laundry when not on sale. if you are on a longer then 7 day cruise, this almost becomes a must.

 

never had anything item come back in any lesser shape thenwhen we sent it to be cleaned. they come back, nice and neatly folded in a basket.

Well, to be fair, many cruisers find that their clothes fit a bit snug after a cruise even though they haven't had them laundered.  🤣

We do a couple of bags of laundry on every cruise (and we cruise multiple times a year). We have never had any issues with the care given by the laundry crew. Not even problems with those old t-shirts. All come out perfectly.

Glad you had good luck. My 2 linen pieces are very tiny now. They were brand new and only worn once in Athens. It was a short skirt, now its a micro skirt.While I accept I could have gotten fatter, I certainly didn't grow 5 inches.😀

Would this be one bag per person or one bag per stateroom?

One per stateroom

 

You can pay the $29 on the fill-a-bag day if you need another bag.
