crystalspin Posted August 5, 2018 #26 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Here's a question - if you have something that absolutely cannot be exposed to heat, but is awkward to handwash in the sink - do you suppose that they would follow instruction to return it spun-damp? These are medical support leggings I speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavecreekguy Posted August 5, 2018 #27 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Since I've discovered and used the $20 all-you-can-stuff-in-the-bag laundry, it's become one of my favorite things on my HAL cruises. Everything has always come back beautiful. Better than me doing it myself at home. But I wouldn't stuff anything that required any really special care in that bag.

creel5857 Posted August 17, 2018 #29 Share Posted August 17, 2018 HAL does a good job with laundry and I think they try to accommodate best they can with thousands of pieces of garments each day. We have been told by 2 different employees that items are all labeled because they are washed with other peoples clothes in huge commercial appliances. We have never had any clothes damaged but then I would never send anything to be washed that would upset me if something happened. I would reserve better items for dry cleaning or not send them at all. We have used the “stuff in a bag” laundry offer several times and alway amused when we get our underway back neatly folded and wrapped in tissue OR even his undershirts on a hanger!! Shirts have been ironed.....I cant complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberrrrrt Posted August 17, 2018 #31 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Having the laundry package is, hands down, one of the nicest things you can do for yourself on a cruise. If for no other reason, it allows you to pack so much lighter! I have to admit, one of my favorite things are those colorful laundry tags--those things stick on for dear life, don't they!? I love it when I find one still clinging on a few months later--reminds me of fond memories from my cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted August 17, 2018 #32 Share Posted August 17, 2018 What is the cost for the laundry service? We will be on the Noordam in September Where abouts are you sailing? Europe is usually $9 per day for the unlimited and $30 for the "all you can stuff" bag. it can vary but that's what we have seen. Last time we had to pay on this side of the Atlantic it was $7/day for the unlimited or $20 by the bag. But that was a couple of years ago. It's still the price as of May this year ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamjess Posted August 17, 2018 #34 Share Posted August 17, 2018 LOVED the unlimited laundry option and loved going home with a suitcase full of clean laundry. We had learned about it here and the first thing I did was send out all my husband's shirts for pressing. I would gladly pay $7/day for the rest of life if I could for HAL's laundry service.

Walfam Posted August 17, 2018 #37 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Our only experience with ship doing our laundry on NA was--- 1. They did a nice job, but . . . 2.) If you have detergent sensitivities, wash it yourself in the sink. I asked for "free&clear" detergent to be used and it all came back with the scent of a perfumed detergent. I did not wear anything of mine that they laundered; not worth the risk. Perfume in detergent is trouble for me. I'll know better and DIY in the room on our 13-day cruise next year. :halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
