Laundry Facilities & Alaska Cruises

[cgc33a]

Trying to plan an Alaska Cruise Tour. Many days away and limited to what one can bring per the airlines. Want to find a line that has self serve laundry facilities on board. I know that Disney does, Carnival usually does, RCCL has not on the ships I have been on (unless that has changed). What about Princess, Celebrity, HAL, or any of the others that go to Alaska?

TIA

HAL only has self service laundromats on it's older, smaller ships. Statendam, Ryndam, Amsterdam, Veendam, Zaandam, Rotterdam. Not on it's newer larger ships.

NCL Pearl has them. I did my laundry on our Juneau port day as I'd heard that it can be very tough to get a machine on sea days when everyone wants to do laundry. It took very little time and I could have easily made it into Juneau after I was done. But when I was done with laundry, I looked around and realized I sort of had the ship to myself so I grabbed a chair in the sun in the outdoor cafe, drank coffee, and enjoyed the quiet.

The Princess ships we have sailed on also have laundry facilities.

Had a self-service laundry on the Island Princess.

RCI and Celebrity have NO self-service laundry facilities. If you need something cleaned or washed, you'll have to either send it to the ship's laundry, or do it in your sink. Or, bring enough clothes so you don't have to wash!

Celebrity Cruise Line does not have self service laundry.

 

Princess Coral has self service laundry. We sailed Alaska on Coral.

NCL no longer has self-serve laundry rooms on any of their ships, I'm sorry to say. They did away with them around 2008 or 2009. :(

We just got off the NCL Pearl and it does not have self serve laundry.

That's what I said :D.

 

I think you wanted to quote the same person I quoted and responded to. :)

Just an FYI, while Princess does have self serve laundry rooms, there are many days, depending on where the ship is, that the laundry rooms cannot be opened. This is probably an issue on other ships as well, but I specifically remember seeing complaints this year on the Princess boards from people who planned to use the laundry rooms to lighten their luggage for their cruise/land tour and then got onboard and found out the laundry rooms were only open for one day of their cruise.

Hi Cool Cruiser:

I am escorting a group on the Coral Princess and yes it does have self-service laundry facilities. I would love for you to join us. We are going to Copper River! 7-nights land then 7-nights cruise starting 7/23/12.

Feel free to contact me if interested!;)

Princess has coin-op laundries but they typically not open while in port. The issue with them being closed in Alaska was with the Sea Princess which did not have holding tanks large enough hold all of the gray water produced by laundries. However the Coral, Island, Diamond, Sapphire and all of the Grand class ships are in compliance with Alaskan regulations.

The only fight I have seen onboard was on the last sea in the Volendam laundry room. Mother & daughter thought it was ok to leave their laundry in the dryer for several hours after they out it in.
