Rare sunviking90 Posted April 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2023 We are going on a 7 day cruise and I was thinking of prepurchasing a laundry bag. What is the general turn around time? We are travelling after the cruise, so I’d like to have it done as late as possible. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted April 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Two days but don’t wait until the very end of the cruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Wildcat Posted April 12, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 12, 2023 You can do it on the 4th day and get it back on your last full cruise day unless you pay an extra charge for next day service. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basenji56 Posted April 12, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 12, 2023 At least two days. Not really useful on a seven day cruise unless you just want clean clothes to bring home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted April 13, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I am posting from the Eclipse. On this ship the laundry return is very fast. The butler picks up our laundry bag during the evening service of the suite and he returns it late in the afternoon the following day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare abbydancer2003 Posted April 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 13, 2023 The slip says regular delivery is next day. On the Infinity recently it was 2 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...Pre-cruise you pay a flat rate to fill the bag...If you pay on board while there could be a fill the bag special once per sailing, you pay per item and it's quite pricey to fill a bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hampshirelad Posted April 13, 2023 #12 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Be careful what you put in , just your robust stuff and take the delicates to wash at home. Remember to pull the sticky cabin tags off the inside collar or when they start to itch in a years time you wont remember when you last cruised in that cabin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those tags actually don’t bother me. It’s the only way I can ever remember which cabin we sailed in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gold1953 Posted April 13, 2023 #15 Share Posted April 13, 2023 You can't send laundry the past 3 days of the cruise. Also for next day return you must send out by the given morning deadline time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix_dream Posted April 14, 2023 #17 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Generally laundry is returned in two days, although sometimes in suites we have been able to get it the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mrs_Tiki Posted April 14, 2023 #18 Share Posted April 14, 2023 On Beyond now. Two day turnaround on Elite laundry service in The Retreat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aj101 Posted April 15, 2023 #19 Share Posted April 15, 2023 2 days on the Millennium. Don’t send anything delicate. I’ll just buy/wear port tshirts to get me through next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwokpot Posted April 15, 2023 #20 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Celebrity has improved on this recently and yes the turnaround time is two days when I was on the Solstice in February. Prior to this since the restart it had been a three day turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the restart as an Elite+ I've done six Celbrity cruises on all three ship classes in all three cabin classes (standard,Aqua,Retreat) and it was only the Solstice cruise this past February did we receive the Elite+ complementary laundry with a two day turnaround. This included two prior Retreat stays where laundry took 3 days and in one instance where we had handed in the laundry late one afternoon it was returned on the FOURTH day in RETREAT Class on the Apex. The Elite Laundry benefits aren't promised back the next day. That's why you can't hand it in on the last three days of your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what it said on the laundry slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mac_tlc Posted April 15, 2023 #24 Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) Did one bag this week on Beyond. Our butler took it Wednesday morning and it was back Friday night. Its not a great perk for a seven nighter but I can see the big benefit on a longer journey. Still better than Royal’s scaled back laundry benefit of only being able to do it on the “laundry special” day. mac_tlc Edited April 15, 2023 by mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again it seems that Celebrity has maintained two day turnaround for REGULAR laundry service fleetwide. Having said that for a upper mainstream line it should be a quicker turnaround. Carnival has next day service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
