OK, 60 days and counting, so start getting used to my OCD posts with questions of minutiae...
Laundry: I want to have the laundry done midway through the March Mexican Riviera 7 day cruise.
A] Do they do the "All you can stuff in a bag" deal?
B] If I send out a bag after dinner on Tuesday, would it be back before dinner on Wednesday?
Thanks

In June of 2008, yes, they still had the $12.00/bag laundry service, but since we had sailed the Oosterdam in 2006, we went for the $45.00 unlimited laundry service for the entire week. WELL worth the cost!!! We'd send things out each morning, and usually, they were back in our cabin when we returned from a shore excursion - folded nicely between tissue paper in a basket or hung on hangers. My husband LOVED having his teeshirts and jeans ironed (lets just say, that ain't happening here! LOL!). To my knowledge, the Oosterdam is still providing both services - and if you want to pack less, the $45.00 unlimited laundry service is the way to go. We did it on our second cruise to AK, once we knew better, and it saved on packing - big time! Especially with some of the bulkier items you need for an AK cruise.

This was the timing on my recent Rotterdam cruise:
I left the bag on the bed when I went to cocktails/dinner. It had been returned when I came back from dinner the next night.
(in your scenario, before dinner Tuesday, and after dinner Wednesday.)
This timing was consistent in about 8 times sending a bag.

Used it once in October on Oosterdam. Out by 9 am and back by 5 pm the next day. $20 per bag.
