Mid week the ship runs a special and places a coupon for a bag of laundry 1/2 off in your cabin for you to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to, I didn't get mine until day 8, and I had asked my cabin steward about it that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen it a couple of times. I never did it but a friend did. I have also read it here on CC. Actually I am correcting myself, it is not a half off coupon. It is for a bag of laundry.

I know, some will say "no biggie" but thought I would mention it for those that use it. If $34.00 is the price of the "midweek special", what is the price on the non midweek days?

A place where people go to get information???? And thanks for the grammar correction Did I ever say you were wrong? I do not recall doing so or even implying it. Sorry if you mistakenly inferred that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My choices were two airline check-in sized suitcases for one person or have laundry done. I chose to have laundry done. Now I know how it works (and can get it free) I plan to pack lighter and just have laundry done while also taking longer trips. I am lucky I guess. All my checked bags are free when I fly! Also, I have only sailed up to a 14 day cruise so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four of us travel together and can pack for up to a 13 day crusie in one suitcase each. Havng served in the military, one learns quickly how to maximize the amount that can be stored in one piece of luggage. 🙂 Hope yoru next cruise is a great adventure and brings lots of new memories!

I rarely fly, since my more recent cruises where all from a drive-to port, so checked luggage wasn’t ever a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL 😂 Enjoy the luxury of being able to pack two suitcases, a carry-on, and a personal item. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies. I should have referred to it as the $29 (now $34) certificate, not a 1/2 price certificate. But something tells me that you already knew what I meant.

Or why you'd need to pay anyone to get the flyer that everyone gets when they are running the special. Thanks for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can look at the Daily for relative size comparison. The bag is also made stronger, not very thin paper anymore. Getting ready to pack for next month and found one of the older $29 bag in use for years - looked exactly like the "new" and bigger one now at $34. Yes, the paper is stronger - the petite ones was thin & prone to getting ripped apart - we recycled & used Amazon shipping bags as insert while rolling & stuffing our free wash onboard. NCL made a "smart" move, we'll likely "only" send out 4 bags to wash instead of 6, since we can resume packing $100+ worth of items per originally sized, to be washed, dry & folded free for a given 14 or 15 days cruise ahead, 😆 lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They called the laundry, my stuff showed up not too long afterwards. Don't know if calling made a difference or just coincidence with the timing. Everything had 2 sets of labels, still wondering what that was all about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to end up on NCL black book. But anyway I’m taking your advice and talk to the guest service. Housing supervisor was called and my clothes are now delivered to my room.

I suspect that they already finished the laundry but there’s no crew available to take the basket to guest room. The new bag is big. I’ve 10-day worth of laundry and I still have some room left in the bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
