sciencewonk Posted September 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2022 What is the turn-around time for HAL laundry? Is the turn-around the same for both washing and dry cleaning? We are in a Neptune Suite on the Noordam for the 34-day San Diego to Sydney cruise and we're trying to determine how much clothing to pack. Laundry is part of the suite perks, so we plan to use it a lot, but don't want to be caught short of anything we need because it's in the laundry.

rkacruiser Posted September 3, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Laundry service is usually very prompt. 24 hours or less; can be longer, though, but not more than another day. Be prepared for your underwear and socks to complain when you return home and discover that they are not neatly pressed and folded with one sock matching another sock. I only used the dry cleaning service once and recall very prompt service as well. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted September 3, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) My experience for laundry has been 24 hours or less turn around. I haven't used dry cleaning. I have used the blue bag $20 service many times and think it's great! Your Neptune perk will come in handy. I want to go on your cruise maybe in 2023 or 2024. Have a wonderful time! ~Nancy ETA- Oops, posted at the same time as @rkacruiser!! At least our replies agreed! 😁 Edited September 3, 2022 by oakridger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedneckBob Posted September 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 4, 2022 HAL laundry service is excellent. Usually back in 24 hours and on recent cruises with capacity at 60-70%, if laundry turned in by 9 am, back that evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigsCanFly Posted September 4, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 4, 2022 We just came back from a b2b on the Zaandam and I had prepurchased the laundry package for each week for $49. The service was great the 4 times we used it (there were 3 of us). The laundry service was prompt and we survived 2 weeks with a total of 3 suitcases thanks to the laundry service.

Mtn2Sea Posted September 4, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Just back from a 24 day cruise on the N. Statendam and the turnaround time was a bit longer, but never more than 48 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted September 4, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 4, 2022 As others have said, Laundry service is quick - ditto with dry cleaning (we’ve used both). the only time I have seen it slower is turn around on embarkation day IF a lot of people were staying pre-cruise and had a lot of laundry and possibly the last day your are allowed to turn it in before disembarkation. It was slightly over 24 hours in those scenarios but not much more. Laundry/dry cleaning by HAL is very well done. You can indicate cold water wash/low heat if needed. I just circled the items and marked it in my instructions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the $49 per stateroom or per person (2 of us in the room)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
