Jeffsey500 Posted June 25, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hello all I have a question about Laundry aboard the Norwegian Sun. NCL keeps giving out conflicted answers. One minute there are laundry rooms, the next minute there are not. Thjis continues with ironing. NCL reservations says, bring your own iron, there are none on board. Travelocity's contact says do not bring an iron, but there are free ones that can be borrowed. I'm getting incredibly confused now., so if somebody knows, please help!!!!!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobintemp Posted June 25, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I have sailed twice on the Sun and there was no self service laundry. You can have it done for you for a fee. You cannot take an iron onboard as it is a fire hazard. Onboard you can call for the use of an iron and ironing board, they will deliver it and come back and pick it up a short time later.

You may certainly bring your own iron, if you are in a suite, iron and board are part of the service. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heelfan94 Posted June 26, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2007 As others have stated, there is no self serve laundry on board the Sun. I think sometimes the customer service people get confused about the different ships. I do believe you can borrow an iron on board. Have a great cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason that they'd rather lend you their iron than have you bring your own (which is prohibited in your passenger contract, no matter what the often underinformed CS people say) is that irons are a huge fire hazard and they want to keep track of them. Apparently people in higher-priced rooms don't create fire hazards...LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted June 26, 2007 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2007 If you happen to be taking this ship in Alaska, I always haul my laundry off in Skagway and do it at the convenient laundry mat on State And Second. I'm on the Sun next month and will be doing it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban trekker Posted June 26, 2007 #7 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Budget Queen - enjoy your Alaskan cruise on the Sun and hope you enjoy Vancouver as well - perhaps by then the sun will be shining brightly. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJPrisonCop Posted June 26, 2007 #8 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Not saying now, but in Jan 05 there were laundry rooms. We had them right up the hall from us when we were on the Sun. Forget what cabin, but we had a balcony room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted June 26, 2007 #9 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I have sailed twice on the Sun and there was no self service laundry. You can have it done for you for a fee.Usually, there is a laundry special once a week. Everything that you can fit into one of those paper laundry bags for a flat rate of $25. No dry cleaning, but shirts get ironed and put onto hangers etc. A bargain. The record that I know of is almost $80 worth of laundry into the one bag that day.

mummsie Posted June 27, 2007 #10 Share Posted June 27, 2007 No laundry and no weekly special when we were on the Sun a few weeks ago - cost us $80 to get a bag of washing done. We wouldn't have bothered normally except we were going straight from the ship onto the Rocky Mountaineer and had no choice. I wouldn't do it again - it would have been cheaper for us to buy new clothes. Mummsie:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please supply some evidence regarding the NCL contract. :confused: :confused: I beg your pardon; I stand corrected. It appears they have removed the language forbidding candles and irons from both the passenger contract and the Welcome Aboard booklet--or if it's still there, I can't find it.
