RFerrington Posted June 27, 2022 #26 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I have used both the plastic and paper, hanging and laying bags...always sent whatever I wanted and never had a problem or a charge. Guess I've just been lucky. As we gamblers say, "I'd rather be lucky than smart". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHolliwood Posted June 28, 2022 #29 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Hi, been a couple years since i cruised and it looks like things have changed a bit. While in the diamond lounge during happy hour, do you have to use your 4 vouchers there? Or is free drinks in the lounge during happy hour, then you can use the 4 at other times? Also is happy hour still 5-8:30? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still serve the same type snacks during happy hour and still have the coffee machine at least. The time varies a bit from ship to ship and is usually 3 hours. 4:30-7:30 or 5-8 are common I believe. Edited June 28, 2022 by OCSC Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it was for a small amount, like $20? For any status under diamond, laundry is $35, diamond pays $25 and D+ and pinnacle get for free 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also put in other items (pants, capris and regular shirts) like you and never had a problem. Other than the true laundry service for Star Class, I have never been happy with bagged laundry. It comes back wrinkled and smelly. Haven't tried it in years because it was so bad I find the same odd smell in the WJ napkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster Posted June 29, 2022 #40 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Someone recently posted the letter that lists the benefits for Diamond once onboard. Down the list it says 20 percent off any beer, wine or soda. It is past the 50 percent off deal on 2 drinks per sailing which we will use first. Is it 20 percent all cruise for everything you order after using your 4 free drinks? Sorry, first time I recall not buying the drink package due to current price levels and never paid attention to these discounts in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not interested in going "commando". 😄 I have my hand wash laundry down to a science for light things. Everything else will go to the dry cleaners. No worries.

Got off Navigator a few months ago. DL was for Pinnacles only during HH. D and D+ were given the Cosmopolitan club every night for HH. Plenty of appetizers and Voucher use was hit and miss. I do believe it was less crowded, this was 7:pm every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicpersona Posted June 30, 2022 #48 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Most of our cruises in recent years have tended towards Celebrity rather than Royal, but I've never known the "bag o' laundry" benefit to be confined to any subset of items compared to the standard laundry list that is hanging in the closet. Shirts and shorts get the scratchy tags applied so they can irritate you for the rest of the cruise. I strongly suspect items such as underwear, socks, etc. are all put into a mesh bag and washed together. Unrelated to bag o' laundry, I once sent a suit for dry cleaning. I didn't notice it until we got home, but it had obviously been through boil and bake, and thus ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamesEM Posted June 30, 2022 #49 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I recently finished a b-3-b on the Allure and the Diamond + perks were great, got a free bag of laundry each week, and had other items cleaned with a discount. Five complementary drinks each day and two days of wi-fi each week and the snacks during happy hour in the Diamond Club were great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob7777 Posted June 30, 2022 #50 Share Posted June 30, 2022 If I become a diamond during the first week of a b2b, can I get it updated for the 2nd week? Or do I have to wait a while for them to enter it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
