Laundry cost on the Sun

[grandgeezer]

We are booked on the Panama Canal cruise on the Sun departing October 9 from San Diego. It's an 18 nighter and since the Sun doesn't have laundry rooms, does anybody know the cost of sending your clothes to their laundry? On some of the cruises we've been on, the cruise lines have had a special deal where you could get all the clothes you can fit in their bag for a straight fee of $15-$20. Does the Sun have this? I don't have enough luggage to bring all my wife's clothes and it would look pretty silly, washing them in the sink and hanging them over the balcony rail to dry.

There will be the laundry bag special near midweek of your cruise. Here's a NCL laundry valet order form, in case you can't wait for it.

Thanks Electrictron. We did the bag last year on Princess and got about 12 pieces in the bag so it came to about 1/2 price off the valet ticket.

Only 12 pieces, I get alot more than that. Make sure you roll your clothes very tight. Try to avoid putting jeans or thick items in the bag. I have put in 10 t-shirts, 4 or 5 shorts, 4 pair mens long tube socks, 4 pair ladies socks, 4 or 5 each men/women underwear, and possibly a couple of other things.

 

The key is to roll and pack tight. I send out one bag and ususally end up getting 3 back.

 

We are on the same cruise and don't want to have to pack to many clothes. We will definitly be using this service.

My wife & I are on the same repo cruise as you, so we will also be using the laundry bag special. One question I have: If we send out shirts , shorts, trousers, ect. will they come back pressed from this special?

Yes, they will. Just as if you'd sent them out on the usual piece count basis.
