Island Princess

Hi, I’m currently in a suite on the Majestic. There do not appear to be any limits on laundry ( sent laundry out this morning). I will check self-service laundry access today/tomorrow & provide an update.

Thank you so much.  My husband and I are doing a 13 day cruise on Majestic starting 8th December so am hoping covid may settle down again by then.  This will be our first cruise post covid with covid mandatory restrictions and are hoping the restrictions won't spoil the overall experience.   What is the mask situation?  I assume you don't have to wear a mask when sitting dining or sitting enjoying a drink listening to live music at night?

This will be our first time on Majestic Princess and first time as Elite guests so need advice on free laundry.  How many days does it normally take to have your laundry returned to you? Is it very wrinkled or nicely folded?  From what I am reading here it sounds like there is normally somewhere on the ship where you can do some ironing if you need to.

Any advice you can give us about the ship itself or the current on-board restrictions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi - the laundry is currently open.

As mentioned above, I would be prepared for sudden changes. We were recently on the Coral & they were open but closed sometime while we were confined to our cabin.

most sailings on most ships, unless it’s insanely rich with elite passengers, complimentary laundry left for your steward in the morning will be returned the next day before dinner.   Rarely, it will be the day after that.  Even rarer, it can be the same day.  
 

If it can be returned on a hanger, it will be, pressed or steam-finished as appropriate.  I honestly think they do a better job than my local cleaners.  They’ve even managed to get the “bacon collar” out of a couple of polo shirts I’d written off as hopeless.   I do not know how smalls other than socks come back - the socks have been pinned together and draped over the bar of the hanger, however.   Nothing (and I mean *nothing*, in 30ish sailings since we started getting free laundry and a few before that, where I just didn’t want to be bothered with quotidian tasks on vacation) has ever needed to be so much as threatened with an iron upon return.
