gypsy lady Posted July 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Can anyone tell me if the laundry room onboard the Journey has a ironing board and iron for passenger use? Also will I need detergent or is that provided? Thanks, Gypsylady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KazLoudspeaker Posted July 22, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The laundry on Quest, so assuming Journey is the same, had 2 ironing boards & 2 irons and about 4-6 washing machines that had an automatic detergent dispenser on each & about the same amount of dryers. The laundry is located on deck 7 and is open between the hours of 8am & 9pm. The lock on the door is set on a timer, so don't wait for someone to walk along & unlock the door (who would have done such a stupid thing??!!). The best time to get a machine is on popular port days or on changeover days if you are on a b2b. Beware people change when they need to launder their clothes, some of the most passionate discussions happen in the laundry!

cat616 Posted July 24, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 24, 2015 How much does it cost to use thr laundry on the Quest? The laundry room equipment and detergent does not cost anything to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pbears Posted July 29, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Is there any way to override the automatic detergent dispenser? DH is allergic to most detergents so we need to use our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted July 29, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Don't think you can over-ride the detergent - it just goes in when the machine goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie A Posted July 29, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Why not save yourself the time and effort and use the "stuff a bag" laundry service for about $20 I think. You can get loads of stuff in the bag and it all comes back pressed and looking nice. When I'm on a cruise I know I have better things to spend my time on than doing laundry! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillC Posted July 29, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Yes, you can overide the ship's detergent. Just don't push the detergent button when you start the machine. We usually bring our own traveling detergent when traveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm on a cruise I know I have better things to spend my time on than doing laundry! :D I'm always afraid to do that because I don't know what kind of detergent they use and what kind of effect it will have on him. He can be really miserable (itchy) if his clothes are washed in the wrong detergent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gypsy lady Posted July 30, 2015 Author #16 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thanks everyone, this info is great...one more question, do we actually know that the "Stuff a Bag" cost is $20 and it comes back pressed? Or is this not accurate now? Can anyone answer this? Thanks, Gypsylady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie A Posted July 30, 2015 #17 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Thanks everyone, this info is great...one more question, do we actually know that the "Stuff a Bag" cost is $20 and it comes back pressed? Or is this not accurate now? Can anyone answer this? Thanks, Gypsylady It definitely comes back very nicely pressed. I can't remember the exact price but it was around $20 in late 2014. To be honest, I think it's such good value that I don't look anymore! You can also send single items as well. I understand your husband's problems with itchy skin and the need to use a special detergent but I have to say that I have very sensitive skin and can't use many detergents, shower gels etc but I have never had a problem on Azamara.
