Laundry $40 in pre-cruise planner

[BermudaBound2014]

Is this the normal price for a bag of laundry onboard or is this a pre-cruise discount price? 

 

I am only 'select' so no free bag for me.

I believe it was a discounted price of $49 on our TA in April/May. It appears to be a good deal.

The price on board when they offer a special on a bag is $49.95.

Where exactly did you find this offer? I'm not finding anything like that and would love to buy it.

I can see dining, excursions, flights but nothing like laundry. Please tell me where to find it.

I've been following this because I had the same Q as the OP...For me it is under Gifts and Gear...

It's well hidden.  Sign in and go to manage my reservation. Click on "view all cruise planner packages" (just above drinks packages.) Click on "Gifts and Gear" near the top of the page.

I'm seeing it as $40 for my cruise.  We are on a B2B Royal then Celebrity cruise starting next Saturday and were going to pack for 16 days.  But, I'd rather pack for fewer days and just pay the $40 for a laundry bag.  Does anyone know how early on the cruise we can do it if we pre-purchase?  1st day would be awesome, with return on 2nd day.

I would not count on next day return.   Normally if you turn in on Monday morning it will be back Wednesday afternoon.  Sometimes it comes back earlier by you can’t count on that.

Alyssa showed exactly where I found it in the planner.

 

I did read that it was a 2 day turn around on laundry by the bag. Some people reported it quicker, but I'd plan for 2 days and be pleasantly surprised.

A few years ago I was curious about the value of the laundry perk, so calculated what the laundry bag  which had just returned would have cost if we had paid by the piece.  It was just over $50.00.  So the pre-purchase of a bag for $40 is a decent value.

I just use my Elite benefit but in all honesty hardly put anything in the bag.  I'm nervous about my clothes shrinking and don't use a dryer at home. Is there a way to let them know you do not want your clothes in the dryer but have them hung to dry?  I guess that's why my dryer at home is 30+ years old. 😆

They don't really have room to hang passengers' clothes - so I would doubt they would do that. And I'd doubt they'd return them to you wet.

I've seen this $40/bag option available for pre-purchase on our next cruise and wondered if it's a deal, as well. I've intended to "do the math" based on receipts from our last cruise, but suspect I will arrive at your same conclusion. Thanks!

 This deal looks like the same wash and fold that Elite receive for free.  Does anyone know if it is different than that or not?

No Elite guests get 1 bag of 30 items 1x per cruise regardless of length plus 1 item dry cleaned and 1 pressed. Elite plus get 2x per cruise. Its a great deal.  I make use of the dry cleaning and wash dry fold.

FYI:  Two items pressed

I understand that.  What I was asking was whether the $40.00 in the planner that is described as wash, dry, and fold was the same as the free Elite bag of 30 items.  
 

Our next cruise is 15 days and if I can send dress slacks and dress shirts as part of that $40.00 option, that would work very well for us.

We must have lucked out on our Beyond TA in October.  We were given a $20 "coupon" our first day on the ship.  Definitely helpful when you are away from home for two weeks.
