Laundry question!

[PoohUnderstands]

Noticed on a thread that the Royal uses cruise card to pay for doing laundry for the washers and dryers.

 

Anyone just off the Star Princess, please. Do I need to bring quarters, or does the Star use one's cruise card also? Thanks for the input!

Star has the machine where you swipe the card for a token that is good for washer or dryer. You can buy your detergent that way too but we brought our own pods.

[Thrak]

Wow. I had no idea that Star had been updated. Good to know. Thanks.

We sailed on the Star last fall and it did not have that feature. It must have been installed at dry dock in December.

Yes, we sailed Star in November which is why I was surprised to find that the laundry had been updated with the token machines.

This makes me happy. No need to lug all those quarters now.:D:D

[PoohUnderstands]

Thanks guys! Yes, first of all, I was thinking $2 a load and those quarters are heavy!!!!!! Don't like the idea of $3 a load, but love using the cruise card!

Are the washer/dryers the stackable ones?:)

Yup $3.00 a load is getting up there.:(

 

I think the $1.50 for the dryer has not changed in a while.

My wife and I don't use the laundry while on out cruise, we send all of our clothes out. Much easier that way.:)

We have our dry cleaning done thru Princess, but I still like to do my own laundry.:)

I was on the Regal in Sept/Oct and a load was $1.50 at the beginning of the cruise and $3 near the end. Soap increased as well. It's best to check on day 1 and buy your tokens/soap at that time.

[ppmanusa]

Regal was $3 wash $3 dry - Pack a couple pods & softner sheets, cant remember $ but said they're out of their mind.

 

Top loaders for the wash

Top loading washers? Eeek.

From what I remember seeing is that the machine dispenses tokens but requires money to inserted as compared to the Royal that can be charged to your cruise card to get the tokens. They'll probably convert the token dispensers after dry-dock.

I shudder to think about the response I would get from my spouse if I asked her to do laundry while on a cruise.:eek:

Not after she someday sees some shrinkage or damage to some of her more expensive clothing.

Coral is card for tokens. Just off the 2/27 Panama Canal partial transit. We were on Caribe deck, put the laundry in, and sat out on the Deck 10 rear deck while it washed.

Since the Grand is an older ship, I'm thinking it still has machines that take coins? Anyone know?

Fortunately it has never happened to us.:)

Are these the quarter-equivalent tokens used in the "penny falls" machines in the Casino, or the single tokens used for example on the Royal? Just interested as I have five or six different of the quarter-size and also have a silver dollar size one that is no longer used and that I bought from a dealer at a coin show for $2.

Does anybody know if irons are available in the laundry room?
