laundry and dining (not at the same time).

Does Regatta offer laundry/dry cleaning service or must you use the laundromat?
Also, we've been on Celebrity a couple of times and this is our first Oceania cruise. Is the food really that much better on Oceania?

We used the Oceania laundry and dry cleaning service aboard regatta and had excellent service. We had a penthouse suite (Deck 8) and our butler picked iut up and returned it the next day.

I have not sailed on celebrity so the only information I can give you is hearsay but the food was much better on our Oceania cruise than other lines we have been on.

I used the self serve laundry on Oceania and found it was just fine. On celebrity it cost us over 100 dollars to send out our laundry which was fluff dried.
We had the best food we ever had on any cruises and we have been on over twenty different ones on our two different cruises on Regatta. The only thing that I really loved on celebrity was the Spa poached Salmon and Cheese cake. Nothing on any other Cruise line compared to the Veal Tenderloin on the Regatta. That was our favorite of them all and they only served it once on a trip. I am not a pasta lover so I didn't go to Toscana on our second trip. I do feel that the chef of the moment can make a big difference in the way the same recipes are prepared.
Have a wonderful trip.

Love the "topic name" you gave your post. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img]
Actually, there are people who throw their clothes in the laundry and then go to eat.. They are also the ones who are usually screaming when they return a few hours later and find that their "stuff" was kindly removed from the washer by someone ..
didn't do laundry when we were on..due to mechanical difficulties with regard to the equiptment- and really hate doing laundry on a ship..just pack more stuff..
but, did send out things to the dry cleaners on board ( a white suit that found red wine ) which came back like new..
