Oat athena laundry charges

[MeridianSkipper]

We're departing on 2 February for OAT's Adriatic Winter cruise. Given the chaos associated with airline travel and the demands of winter travel, we plan to limit our baggage weight and at the same time prepare for changeable winter weather. Use of the ship's laundry would seem to be beneficial assuming the cost is not outrageous. It seems to me I've read that "it's cheaper to buy new than use the laundry."

I've never paid attention to GCT/OAT laundry charges. Ballpark information on charges would be most appreciated (e.g., wash jeans, wash/iron collared shirts, wash undergarments, etc.).

While not inexpensive, OAT’s laundry charges are consistent with those imposed by most hotels. Consequently, it seems reasonable to use a combination of laundry and hand washing to reduce baggage weight and bulk.

With the airlines’ ever decreasing checked bag weight allowances, we’ve opted to reduce what we packed to allow for shopping baggage-weight gains.
