Cost to have laundry done by staff?

[tinker&belle]

My husband and I were talking about doing laundry on the cruise to pack less. Does anyone know the cost to send a load out to have completed by the staff? TIA!

Keep in mind that all ship's laundry is done on hot, so if you don't want something washed in hot water, don't get them to do it.

I found that doing laundry on board was so easy to do myself. Nobody was really using washers anyway so I put a load on, had a glass of wine, sat on veranda, went back and moved stuff to dryer, more wine, more veranda, get clothes, then drunkenly fold and throw at family members.

We didn't bring our laundry to be washed, but my husband brought his suit ready to be dry cleaned and sent it to be cleaned our first night because it was less expensive than our home dry cleaners and he didn't have to worry about how wrinkled it would get in transit.

Hysterical! I should try that at home.

This would definitely up the fun level of laundry at my house! I would probably doze off though...

Husband doesn't understand, but pairing socks is much more fun when I throw them at him

The machines on the Wonder were both $2.00 for washer and $2.00 for dryer but dryer took a good 2 cycles to dry so it cost me $6.00 for one load.

There is a spray bottle of water with the iron, in my experience on both the Wonder and the Fantasy.

We prefer to do our own. On our last cruise the do it yourself laundry room was right down the hall. Not bad at all.

 

[dclpluto]

DCL prices for laundry is reasonable. Don't waste any of your vacation doing laundry. Enjoy.

 

[Judyat]

We are retired and really don't mind doing laundry when it's right down the hall. We are always on vacation. Just a matter of how you like to spend your time and money.

Pressing is 50% off those prices, so what we do on the first day is give the stateroom host all of our dinner clothes to be pressed, with the exception of what we are going to wear that first night. The next day, the host will have all of your clothes pressed and ready to go!

It is worth everything - we did it last cruise and they even folded my underwear. I loved it. So nice to have someone else do this for you - really adds to the feeling of being on vacation!

I nominate this as the greatest post ever.

^^^ So doing this the next cruise!

We always send laundry out. One note: Be aware that they iron little tags onto a seam into each and every piece of laundry. It will have your room number on it. I get little memories every once in a while when a shirt, a pair of shorts or a pair of underwear start scratching me uncomfortably. I'll take said article off, look at the offending area and be reminded, "Oh yeah! That's when we were in stateroom xxxx a couple of years ago!"
