cinnamon Posted January 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2013 We will be taking our first Azamara cruise on Quest in March. Could someone tell me please if we need to bring our own laundry detergent for the machines on deck 7? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phxazzcruisers Posted January 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Everything supplied. We have never used it, the room always seems to be busy. It is not easy to get a machine..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinaro44 Posted January 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Everything supplied. We have never used it, the room always seems to be busy. It is not easy to get a machine.....We've rarely had a problem getting a machine, and the couple we traveled with managed to do several loads on a 16-day cruise. One washing machine on Quest was broken in November/December. Would be nice if it were fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser Craig Posted February 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Is there an iron and ironing board in the self-service laundry as well, as is the case on HAL's Statendam class ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat616 Posted February 11, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yes ironing board and iron - actually I think there were two boards and two irons. I am sure someone will be along to correct me if I am wrong. You need to time using the laundry facilities. They are not always busy. Try early morning, dinner time, just back from a tour day in hopes others are still out or too tired to do laundry. Also time your laundry - I find no need to guard my laundry but it is important to be back to the machine before it finishes to keep those waiting to get a machine from undue delay. Hope this helps.

CincyAL Posted April 29, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I am guessing that the washers and dryers use quarters or tokens similar to a laundromat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie MeMe Posted April 29, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 29, 2014 no need. laundry detergent is attached to the machines...just push a button. Just push the button ONCE! No sound or motion that lets you know that soap went in machine. You won't like it if you push often --or someone before you pushed too often:eek: Do not ask how I know!:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgg Posted April 29, 2014 #13 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Just push the button ONCE! No sound or motion that lets you know that soap went in machine. You won't like it if you push often --or someone before you pushed too often:eek: Do not ask how I know!:o You can actually see the liquid soap going down the tube after you push the button. But even if you miss the drama of the soap entering the machine :)don't push the button more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailin' Shoes Posted April 29, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Also time your laundry - I find no need to guard my laundry but it is important to be back to the machine before it finishes to keep those waiting to get a machine from undue delay. Roger, that. Failure to be polite and to not hog the machines often results in your laundry, wet or dry, being placed in a pile someplace within the laundry room. :) Edited April 29, 2014 by Sailin' Shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TERRIER1 Posted June 10, 2014 #15 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Are machines on every cabin deck? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dln929 Posted June 10, 2014 #17 Share Posted June 10, 2014 BTW, the laundry room is not open 24/7 in deference to all the people who are in the surrounding cabins. The hours are 7 am to 10:00 pm every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat616 Posted June 10, 2014 #19 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Do you happen to know how many machines there are? Thanks. If I remember correctly, 4 washers and 4 dryers. Definetly 2 irons and ironing boards. In my experience during the cruise something inevitably breaks down so be prepared to have less equipment at some point.

dln929 Posted June 10, 2014 #20 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Do you happen to know how many machines there are? Thanks. On the Quest there were four washers & four driers. I only poked my nose in briefly on the Journey but I'd guess it was the same number. This photo is courtesy of Mike & Carol Preisman, taken four years ago.

This photo is courtesy of Mike & Carol Preisman, taken four years ago. Pretty much the same on Journey but on my last cruise the Ironing boards were oriented into the room. Well at least until someone broke one of the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted June 11, 2014 #22 Share Posted June 11, 2014 My butler brought me a laundry basket. I filled it. He carried it for me to the laundry room. Later, he brought me hangers,helped me put my clothes on hangers, and carried the clothes back to my cabin. That was outstanding. I also use the ship's laundry service. It has been good on previous cruises. Clothes return next day on hangers or folded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
