I am as cheap as they come but the $12 I spent was the best of the cruise (yes, everyone has their priorities) - the work was exceptional and the tiny charge per garment saved hours (OK, maybe only one hour but did you read the post about the satin dress!)...I only pressed the first nights outfits.
Considering the cost of the cruise, drinks, I thought it was a terrific splurge...
Now, on the other hand, I won't do laundry on the boat and yet other posters have explained they like to go home with all clean clothes -
