Laundry Bag

[mconthehighseas]

I had gone to one of the dollar stores near my house to find a folding laundry basket to take on our cruise. Didn't find one, but they did have gown and suit protectors (bags to put over your clothes, with a hole on top for a hanger).

 

I bought a gown protector and used it as our laundry bag. It worked great!!!! It hung in our closet, out of the way, and didn't take up any floor space. When it came time to go home, I just put the bag in my garment bag, moved some of the clothes around so the bag would be flatter, and then I didn't have to worry about mixing clean and dirty clothes for the trip home.

 

Note: for 2 people for a seven day cruise, we probably only needed a suit protector, but it never hurts to have extra space.

Now that sounds like a neat idea. Just might give that a try :)

why not just use the onboard laundy service and take home most of the stuff clean

lougee - there's no reason you couldn't. However, this is the Money saving board, so for people who would rather spend their money elsewhere, this is a way to save on laundry service. I prefer to wash my own underwear, regardless of the cost, hence the laundry bag.

That's an awesome idea! Thanks much - I will definitely try it on our next cruise - it's good for any vacation.
