Laundry Bag special onboard

[Dreamcruise27]

Does Celebrity still offer a laundry bag special onboard? When we last cruised with Celebrity in 2019, we were given a paper bag to fill as much as we can for one set price. Just wondering if they still offer this special or if I’m better off pre-purchasing.

 

Thank you!

They did as recently as April and May. I can't recall the cost because I just use my free bags.

Our loyalty status gives us free unlimited laundry, but the Eclipse this past April did a "laundry challenge" offer for all items stuffed into one laundry bag for a flat price.

Yes they still offer.   I believe the last price I saw was 49.99 but often they sell it pre-cruise at a discounted price.

On a recent Apex cruise, it was $59 and ours came back next day.

So it was not very large - little smaller than pillow case. However, my wife and myself were able to stuff about 3 days worth of clothes each in it. I felt it was worth it.

Be prepared for them to use harsh washing techniques on your clothes.  I've had lots of T-shirts ruined by their intensive washing.  I only put the through white clothes these days.  One thing we really love about Princess is the ability to do our own laundry on long cruises.  I wish X had that kind of thing.

The Cloth Bags measure 18" X 17 and have a draw line.   Since we only travel in suites not sure if they are now using cloth bags for all rooms.  In the past they used paper bags for Concierge and Below.

We had cloth bags in in an OV last year and a cloth bag this year in a balcony this year 

I believe they had special on the ship this May at $59.99 , 

All my cloths came back fine , I did hang some shirts in the WC when we had a shower to get the wrinkles out

We sail in balcony cabins and last August on Silhouette we had a cloth bag.

Much better than the paper bag.🤩

We were offered this service last week on Millennium.  It was $60 for everything you could stuff in the smallish laundry bag.  We did not take advantage, but are planning to do it on our two upcoming cruises are they are 12 and 13 nights long and it’ll be easier than packing more clothes.

What specifications does everyone put on their laundry card?  I had a bad experience back in 2018 with Celebrity laundry (shrinkage and very wrinkled), so I am hesitate to try again.  We have a longer cruise coming up later this year, and might need these services.  Would saying "cold water" and "pressing" work?

I put everything in , never had a problem

I see on my upcoming cruise that right now the $60 bag is discounted to $49.

Where can you see laundry special on upcoming cruise?   I tried to look last night but can't seem to find it.

[PH2]

If you go to Plan My Cruise, it's under the Gifts & Gear tab. I just started clicking tabs and scrolling down until I found it. Not exactly intuitive.

The laundry "special" is wash and fold only. I am not sure if they accommodate cold water requests. Any pressing will be at the prevailing rate on the sheet.

They have now introduced a Wash and Press option and, as mentioned above, it can be reserved in the pre-cruise planner under 'Gifts and Gear'. Currently 63.99 vs 48.99 for Wash and Fold.

[lostchild]

The "Gifts and Gear" category throws me off LOL.   Also at first, I was looking in the phone app, instead of browser website.  I still cannot find it on the phone apps.  I don't see Gifts and Gear anywhere.

[tinkmom]

Trying to decide if we want to get the "Wash and Press" bag in advance at discount.  It would be nice to not have to worry about running out of items if things are dirtier, messier, sweatier than anticipated.  Any idea if the "wash and press" items are handled any more delicately than the "wash and fold" which I understand are washed in hot and dried probably more than necessary?   Is the bag cloth?  That would be much better as far as ability to "stuff" it than the paper bags we've seen in the past.

 

Or any recent experiences/info to share about either type of laundry?    We're heading out on the Equinox soon.  Thanks.

Kirkland Signature brands handle CELEBRITY wash and fold service just fine 😁

I never had a problem
