Last week on Encore, when I was still gold,  (Platinum now on Escape and got free bag), we used the 19.99 special and didnt get a 50% discount for gold. I went to guest services and they told me the 50% only applies to full price laundry and not to the 19.99 special. 

 

I took their word for it, but I'm not convinced they were correct. 

Not correct. They should have given you a $10 credit.

This should open some interesting dialog - - -

 

The Latitudes Rewards perks for the GOLD state 50% off of one bag.

The perks charts does not state what that is - no *s - #numbers spelling it out !

Is that 50% off of the Bag Deal @ $19.99 or is it 50% off the total of the individual items in the bag ? ?

It is not very clear (par for the course for NCL) what exactly is correct.

 

The key here is:

50% off of the total of individual items in the bag would be cost prohibited exceeding the Bag Deal !

So why use the 50% rate when the Bag Deal is a better bargain !

But then the NCL Guest is GOLD and gets 50% off of one bag !

 

Without taking a poll - has anyone who is GOLD had a 50% discount of the Bag Deal ?

I.E. $19.99 discounted 50% to $9.99 

Is this happening on more than one ship in the fleet ?

 

Take note CC NCL GOLD members and run the Jolly Roger cross-bones flag up in protest !

Interpretation of the perks needs clarification !

also, if you take the time to tightly roll your clothes you can get a TON into that one bag.

 

On NCL the Laundry Bag is PAPER, which is susceptible to being torn when it is being packed with laundry! 

 

On HAL, the Laundry Bag is CLOTH, which is NOT susceptible to being torn when it is being packed with laundry!

if you are a suite guest, the bag is nylon on NCL.  and much bigger too.

Hint - if not in a Suite - bring your own type bag or expendable pillow case and use that.

Remember to fill out the itemized invoice of what's in the bag and place it in the bag - if using a

non-standard NCL laundry bag best to hand/give it directly to the Cabin Steward. This works !

On my last cruise, I was Gold, and did a bag of laundry on the $19.99 laundry special day.

I was charged $9.99, so I did get the 50% discount.

I also marked it "express", expecting to pay the upcharge, but they didn't charge me for that!  Got it back during the express time frame just fine.  So I was pretty happy 🙂 

This was on the Jewel during last month's Vancouver-Los Angeles repo.
