ruespal Posted February 13, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi all- First time cruiser- we're going to Alaska in May and had heard some ships do not have coin op laundries. Does anyone know if the Island has them and where are they located?? Thanks in advance..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted February 13, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Yes, there are self service laundries on all ships. I have not been on the Island, but on most ships they are on most passenger cabin decks and alternate towards the from and towards the back.

Just do a search for Island Princess deck plans and it will show the ship by deck, On it will be all of the category of cabins, where the laundries are located on your deck or nearby and where all of the public rooms, dining rooms, pools etc. are located.

Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted February 13, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 13, 2011 It might be more fun to just bring more clothes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted February 13, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I seem to recall passing one on Caribe Deck. I could go look, but where would be the fun in that. Another option is the ship's laundry if its just a few items. They were really good and fairly reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruespal Posted February 13, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks for the info- I did look on the Princess site -found a lot of things I didn't know! We'll be gone 2 weeks and flying from Ct. so taking more clothes wouldn't be an option( but probably more fun than doing laundry!):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzinchris Posted February 13, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 13, 2011 On Aloha deck, the laundromat was on port side, near aft, on the opposite side of ship from the area where the Kids' Club is located. There were five stacked washer/dryers and an ironing board. Configuration and size of the laundry room was different on other decks. I did some ironing on our first day at sea, and we did one load of laundry on the day that we were in Ocho Rios because we had no plans for that port.

Cruisin' Chick Posted February 13, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 13, 2011 We were on the Caribe deck on the Island five years ago. The laundry room was aft, right near the big suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if the Island has them and where are they located?? Thanks in advance..... I think you will find most of the Princess ships have at least one laundramat on board. We are just off the Coral and I think there was one on every deck, and on ours there were four washing machines, four dryers, an Ironing board and iron.. And you could buy soap powder. But if you pick up any of the books with your ship in it, at the back there will be diagrams of the decks and you will be able to see if there are any on your deck.

EatPrayCruise Posted February 14, 2011 #11 Share Posted February 14, 2011 We were on the Island Princess two years ago and there was a coin-op laundry on the Caribe level. We were in the very last cabin on the right side of the ship. The laundry was just up a few cabins on a hallway connecting the port and starboard hallways. It was very convenient and the rate was fair although I can't remember how much it was to wash and dry. A tip for you - you might want to do your laundry before the last day/night on board as there was a line to wash and dry. I hope that that helps.
