Rare LHT28 Posted August 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I was just trying to look at the Alaska cruises for next for the OP in another thread When I was doing the booking I saw Free Concierge Laundry (3 bags) as one of the options to check along with the O Life Anyone get this option for next year ? Wonder if it will be part of the new O Life for 2018 ?? not that I would use it Curious minds want to know :halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense whether one uses it or not - like internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pinotlover Posted August 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Sounds better than a one day special of 20 pieces for $24.95! Lyn; I didn't find it? Was it for all class of cabins. Any particular cruise length requirements apparent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhtax Posted August 15, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I booked yesterday and it was included as a "Concierge Free Laundry" (3 bags per stateroom.) I am cruising in May of 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ORV Posted August 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Does this have anything to do with booking a Concierge room, or is that just what they are calling the laundry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted August 15, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 15, 2017 From messing around with the booking engine it appears that it's a Concierge room level perk and not an Olife option. Also it's for one guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banjineer Posted August 15, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 15, 2017 That was a great find LHT28. We had a 7 day cruise booked for 2018. Just emailed O - within 10 minutes they added the free 3 bag laundry and sent a new invoice. What great customer service ! I can't answer the concierge level only part of the question but the amenity is called "concierge free 3 bags of laundry". We had booked a concierge veranda.

Paulchili Posted August 15, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Based on above discussion, it appears to me that O finds it a bit more difficult to sell concierge cabins - at least on some cruises - and has decided to sweeten the pot. Like with all concierge benefits - some find them worth the extra money, while others do not. As always, YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Acrusa Posted August 15, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The $64.00 question is, how much laundry does one do on a seven day cruise. Sent from my SM-J320V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted August 15, 2017 Author #15 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Yes when I was looking at Concierge cabin so I am guessing it may be a perk I did not check other Cabin Cat I did look at the 7 & 11 day Alaska cruise in Aug 2018 it is as stated above 3 bags per stateroom so if your spouse is sharing the same cabin I am sure she would let you squeeze a few items into one of the bags :) I have not seen this before but then again I do not book online with O Maybe it was in one of their brochures but we are now brochure free LOL A closely guarded secret until now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoHoHo Posted August 16, 2017 #16 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Maybe it was in one of their brochures but we are now brochure free LOL Congratulations on your achievement! I'm sure there are some in awe. Patience and persistence paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZjohn Posted August 16, 2017 #19 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The $64.00 question is, how much laundry does one do on a seven day cruise. Definitely one of those YMMV answers. For us, we are doing a one week land vacation before and after our 7 day cruise so, worth something to us (not a lot though). Also, my wife always likes to do the laundry the last day of vacation (if possible, like when we stay at our timeshare) so it's not something she has to deal with when we get home and unpack.

Rare Ken the cruiser Posted August 16, 2017 #21 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Not sure if all cruises are affected just noticed the one for Alaska but worth asking According to the website when you select a specific cruise and check the concierge cabin amenities, it lists the 3 bags of laundry as a new perk along with another in room dining perk. It appears these new perks start towards the end of 2017, with specific dates for each ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomerscsu88 Posted August 16, 2017 #22 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I wonder if this was driven by the free unlimited internet in O-Life sine concierge had included an internet package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pinotlover Posted August 16, 2017 #24 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'll be on the Marina on a cruise starting 10/28 in a Concierge Cabin! Guess I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up. Oceania had never indicated any of this in their documents for the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
