5 washers and 5 dryers

And the battlefield is ready for action.

Five machines should work for 650.

:)

Does anybody know how long Handre is on for? Who is the current captain and how long is he on for? We are boarding on the 16th until August 5th.

Lest there be any confusion, and as per seabourn.com,

the passenger capacity of Encore is 600. Not 700 or even 650.

Happy and healthy sailing!

Lest there be any confusion, approximately 650 people have access to laundry on Encore while at capacity. I did try to amend the 700 number shortly after typing.

Just seen this. Absolutely priceless. The cake is pure genius

I do love people with a good sense of humour.

For a baseline comparison, according to SB's 2016/17 brochure, Encore has a guest capacity of 600, vs 458 for the other 3 ships. This equates to a 31% increase in guest capacity, vs. 25% increase in laundry machine capacity (5 vs 4 - assuming the machines themselves have the same load capacity).

So the laundry machine increase % is roughly proportionate to the guest increase %. Can't fault SB for that.

Recall a drink with a former officer on Legend who regaled us with the story of the early morning senior crew meeting at which Exec Housekeeper revealed that a passenger had managed to load 52 items in to a laundry bag. Did include handkerchiefs and skimpy undergarments, but was seen as a record. The HD was not happy!;p;p

Or go for the $ value. $50 is break-even.

We are onboard Encore, the laundry is great. Five sparkling washers and dryers. Three ironing bords and a steamer. Fantastic.

What do you reckon to her, Koala? We join Odyssey on Saturday - just trying to cut down what to pack - honestly, I could cruise for a month with what is on the bed. Third passenger in pieces and in the giant yellow suitcase ;) - also, sent you an email.

On our recent Alaska cruise, we were at dinner with two officers. According to them, the operational staff (i.e. ship's officers) advised corporate that a laundry was necessary and corporate ignored them. Looks like corporate found out the hard way.

You've got me worried! Doesn't it leave on Sunday?

It does - getting over excited - we arrive into Barca on Saturday :D:D are you onboard too?

Yes . Looking forward to it.

Look forward to meeting you - You can't miss us - he'll be the one off on his mountain bike after breakfast every morning and I'll be the one waving him goodbye :D

I'll look out for you.

Can sometime please tell me where the laundry is on the Encore?

Thanks

On Encore soon. Does anyone know if Seabourn is supplying laundry soap on Encore ?

Yes, I am sure as they did so on every other ship

Yes they do, there is a basket of satchels on the counter in the laundry.

It is mid-ship on deck 5. Opposite the hotel directors cabin. There is a sign on the door.
