Regular vs. Same-Day Laundry Service
Royal Caribbean offers both regular and same-day service according to the form.
Regular service is returned the next day by 5:30 p.m.
Same-day service carries an additional 50% service charge. To qualify, the laundry must be picked up before 11:00 a.m., with the completed items returned by 5:30 p.m.
That surcharge can make a noticeable difference if you are sending several pieces at once, so passengers who do not need their clothing urgently can save money by choosing regular service.
How Royal Caribbean Laundry Service Works
The form instructs passengers to place their clothing and the completed laundry form in the provided bag.
You enter your guest name, stateroom number, and date, select either regular or same-day service, and indicate the quantity of each garment and the service requested.
Because pricing is primarily per item, the final cost depends on both the number of garments and the type of service selected.
Clothing Restrictions
Royal Caribbean includes an important restriction at the bottom of the laundry form.
Passengers are asked to limit laundry service to the types of clothing listed on the form. The form specifically states that wedding gowns, ball gowns, Quinceañera attire, and other fine or delicate articles cannot be accepted for laundry treatment.
The terms also state that guests should itemize every piece sent for service.
Is Royal Caribbean Laundry Expensive?
The answer depends heavily on how much clothing you send.
Basic items are relatively inexpensive individually. For example, washing and pressing a T-shirt or blouse is listed at $3.61, while underwear or socks cost $2.11 per item.
Costs can climb quickly if you send a large quantity of clothing or choose dry cleaning. Same-day service also increases the total by 50%.
For passengers trying to control their cruise budget, the price list makes it possible to calculate roughly what a particular load will cost before submitting it.
