Unlimited laundry, and pressing

I know that if I send items out to be washed, they come back pressed. With the Unlimited Laundry package, if I need something ONLY pressed, is that included in the laundry package? Or will there be a charge for Pressing Only? And if there is a charge for pressing only, is there an Unlimited Pressing package available?

Thanks in advance for any help with this "pressing" problem ;) (Sorry -- I just couldn't resist!)

Since this problem is so pressing (I couldn't resist either ;) )

I believe pressing is included. At least according to the 4* mariner benefits.

Unlimited laundry and unlimited pressing package were available for purchase on my last HAL cruises. It was my understanding that pressing only was not available with just the unlimited laundry package.

Edited: Mrs. Whogo, she of the better memory, has an opposing opinion. She thinks that pressing only is available with the purchase of the unlimited laundry package. If she is wrong, don't tell me. I don't want to slip up and contradict her, it's not worth it.

You have to be careful and send the pressing out on its own. We never had a problem with press only. It's less work than laundry + pressing.

I have often sent them both together without any problem. The form allows for different items to be treated differently. I will send a few t-shirts and underwear to be laundered in the same bag as a pair of pants for pressing only.

If you send your pressing out as a separate item, it makes life easier for everyone and prevents any misunderstandings. Have heard horror stories about combining wash and iron-only - one was washing the silk dress sent for pressing only.

Thanks for that laugh :D No problem -- I will most likely have forgotten I started this thread by the time I know for certain which of you is correct :D

Thanks, everyone, for your replies and advice!
