Laundry Services

[Gilly]

An alternative to bunting?  I once had to wash a pair of Indian churidar (those very loose fitting cotton trousers which fit tightly around the ankles) - a long story...but anyway, my hero suggested I offer them to the Captain to hang from the mast somewhere as they would make a very effective mainsail 😎

Does anyone know if you can request cold water for the wash and low heat for the dryer? And if yes, is it actually done that way?

 

I doubt that they would do a cold water wash for 1 person's load as many guests' laundry is washed at one time in a giant washing machine with whatever their standard water temperature is (warm? hot?). Same for drying- large dryer to handle multiple oassengers' loads at once.  You could always use the launderette to wash/dry special items to your liking. I do this occasionally....dry half-way and then hang up in my suite to finish drying.  Easy-peasy.

Curious just where the laundry is going to air dry your items?

On the drying racks!

No one’s allowed to touch my laundry but me. Sigh, I lose that valuable benefit when booked in a PH. 
That’s life!

I may send a few things, but likely will use the self laundry. Sigh.

I think this is a good suggestion for me. I’m pretty particular about my laundry.

Drying laundry is so much easier on WindStar cruises 🤣

We request cold water wash.

I m real fussy and I think Regent does a great job with laundry.

I don’t send my expensive clothes to be dry cleaned. I wait until I return home.

I do like to iron over my Tee shirts after unpacking so I just go to the laundry room.

I do rinse out bras and underwear and they drip dry in our bathroom.

Did this on the TA in April and it worked great.  I hung wet laundry in the closet, because it is easy to leave door open to allow air flow. Bathroom stayed a little moist, I thought.  I just sent the "regular" wash clothes out to the laundry.

If you but it out before 9am it should be back the same day.

We put ours out before dinner and it was always back when we returned from breakfast the next morning. Great service.
