Horizon / (*Not) Live / Solo - May - 25 - June - 2024...

Home sweet home... Now it's time for another shower. Also, I'm glad I left the air conditioning cranked up the whole time I was gone. It's hot here... I guess I could've bumped it up to 72° while I was gone, but 66° sure feels nice to come home to.

Thank heaven you are back!!!!

Welcome home Sid, we missed you 😎

[balcony bound]

I’ll see you’re home when the laundry appears🙃

[sid_9169]

And, just like Sunday afternoon at Augusta, one of my oldest vacation traditions... The pile of dirty laundry dumped out on the floor... One Platinum benefit that I'll probably never use. I just can't imagine my stuff rolling around on that massive washing machine with all those strangers' dirty drawers...

Welcome safely home, we did miss you. 😎

[TNVolnteerCruiser]

Yay! Sid’s home! Hope your vacation was everything you wanted it to be.

[BohJang]

Oh Sid we really missed you. 

[sid_9169]

Probably the last thing I need after nine straight days and nights of drinking, but I really need to pass out good tonight. I got about 4 or 5 hours of sleep last night, and I need to be fully prepared to get pounded over at the 'ol salt mine tomorrow. Two good strong "magic" margaritas with the "good tequila" will hopefully do that. 

 

I also picked up some garlic Parmesan marinated chicken wings over at While Foods, and they're in the convection oven now. Bedtime estimate: 8:30 - 9:00...

We will patiently wait for a post cruise real review, Sleep well.

Welcome back Sid, can’t wait to hear your report of the week!

I’m pretty sure they don’t do it that way…

Actually I think they do?  Separate bags but multiple people’s stuff?

Yes, they put it in a "net" type structure, so that you're stuff stays together, BUT it goes in the giant washer with a WHOLE LOT of other people's stuff... There's absolutely no chance that they've got a crew of people down there doing laundry one paper bag at a time...

You sure about that? Dry the same way? That stuff would be wrinkled.

Still, you have cleanish clothes 

 

I guess it’s better than a toilet brush on your sink. 
 

laundry +1

I can’t see it. I’ve done the mesh bag thing in gym class and football and basic training just for shorts and t-shirts. But I can’t see my blue jeans being able to be washed in one of those mesh bags with  all of my other clothes. And in a machine big enough to  have all of that stuff from other people.

Have you ever done the behind the scenes tour on board the ship? I've never done it myself, but I've read reviews and heard from other passengers that that's how they do it. These washing machines are ten feet tall...

Do you see Keebler elves with tiny wash machines and dryers?

Just as your local dry cleaner doesn’t just clean your clothes only in the machine.

Welcome back!

I haven’t. I’d want to see it to believe it though. The videos I’ve found on YouTube don’t show guest laundry but the machines they do show aren’t that big.

Yes, they do multiple peoples’ laundry together as others have said. We did the Behind the Fun tour on Vista in 2017 and got to see it.
