Question about laundry vs dry cleaning.

[mzbiz1]

Ok, maybe this is a dumb question but here goes....When you send your things out to be dry cleaned, they come back cleaned and pressed, right? Well, nothing I'm bringing requires dry cleaning, so the laundry service should be just fine. For those of you who have used the laundry service onboard, how is the laundry returned to you? Is it hung up and ironed or just clean and folded? I'd be willing to pack less and pay for service if it was pressed and ready to wear again. Can anyone tell me? Thanks!

How much does it cost for them to do laundry service???

The laundry price list is in the FAQ thread at the top of this forum.

It was wonderful - pressed, folded, golf/polo shirts on hangers. They even got the chocolate stains out of my son's white polo shirt and khakis!!!!! The golf shirts were the most expensive thing we did, and they were under $3 per. I don't remember the exact prices, but they were a lot less than I expected based on using the laundry service at Marriots and Sheratons on long business trips.

Thanks for the info. You sold me. I'm bringing less clothes and using the laundry service. Less clothes=more room for souveniers!!

We are only going for 3 nights and I've been stressing about what to do about wrinkles. I don't want to waste time in line for an iron, but if I use this service immediately on arrival, when can I expect the items to be returned?

I think they have an express service because when I boarded for the Panama repo cruise I immediately unpacked my dressy stuff and shot it off to be pressed and got it all back the next day...
