charlielinda Posted September 5 #1 Share Posted September 5 First time sailing as Elite+ — both my husband and I are Elite+. Do we each get two bags of laundry on a 7 day cruise? What about an 11 day cruise? Thank you. I am not sure how to read the explanation if it is per person or cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DaKahuna Posted September 5 #3 Share Posted September 5 (edited) You each get two bags of laundry. The bags of laundry are a per person benefit. Edited September 5 by DaKahuna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicpersona Posted September 5 #4 Share Posted September 5 Per person. We just did it two weeks ago on Equinox. I don't know if it mattered, but I submitted bag 1 with my name, bag 2 with spouse name, and bag 3 with my name again, writing "Elite Plus" in big letters. On recent cruises on X the turnaround on the boil 'n bake laundry was bad - one was 72 hours. That was not our experience on Equinox, though. We put one bag on the bed before evening turndown service, and it was back to us around noon the next day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlielinda Posted September 5 Author #5 Share Posted September 5 I know on Transatlantic cruise at Elite we each got 2 bags instead of 1 because of length of cruise. Now at Elite+ … do we get extra bags (more than 2 each) for 11 days or 14 day cruise. I can’t imagine having that much laundry … just curious. Celebrity Loyality number had no answer. Thank you.

Benefit has been 2 bags per cruise for Elite + for years. It does not change based on length of cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why you received extra laundry benefits on a TA. As already mentioned the length of the cruise is not relevant. And as Elite+ you do not receive more than two bags per person on a 11 or 14 night cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the penguins Posted September 5 #10 Share Posted September 5 27 minutes ago, charlielinda said: Thanks to all! also the deal is "wash and fold" no pressing. However if you write on the slip "Please return on hangers, Thank you" it comes back as good as pressed. Don't forget the "Please and Thankyou" as they don't have to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted September 6 #11 Share Posted September 6 They seem to be making a point of doing 72 hr service (2 days later) for Captains Club laundry benefit. Not sure if it is due to reduced staffing in Laundry or just trying to generate additional laundry revenue for people who want it faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the correct amount: Elite: 1 bag per person per cruise Elite+: 2 bags per person per cruise. Cruise length doesn't matter. 30 items per bag(pair of socks 1 item) unless water restrictions are in place when it's 20 items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In dozens of requests I can only remember it not working once. Generally we find that the earlier in the cruise you put in the laundry the better the service. As 50% of our cruises start after we have spent time visiting our grandson in Dallas we often put in our first bag on day 2. On B to B's we put in our first full bag on day 2 of the second leg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the upper suites when it comes back all nice on hangers, it's still boil 'n bake, then under the broiler it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexmiller Posted September 6 #20 Share Posted September 6 Two bags of laundry per person, per cruise. So that's 4 bags of laundry in total for each and every cruise, for you and your husband. And once you hit Zenith, the sky's the limit - you can send in as much as you want, as often as you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandL Posted September 6 #21 Share Posted September 6 Celebrity could take a lesson from Windstar. Laundry comes back nicely folded in a white garment zippered pouch, and the slacks, shirts & dresses come back hanging in a zippered garment bag. All two days later! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And free if on sailings longer than 14 days or $9.50 per cabin per day. I saw someone disembarking the ship with one of the garment bags, they are that nice.

Lot of people say this however all crew uniforms from the Captain down and all the ship's linen are washed by the same laundry with no apparent issues.
