Brissy Rookie Cruiser Posted October 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I was hoping for someone to enlighten me. Myself and my family have been on two previous cruises with Holland America. They were fantastic. Loved them. This time we are on an 11 day cruise on board the Golden Princess departing Sydney in September 2017. On HAL we were able to purchase an unlimited laundry package for around $100 US. Excellent service and value for a family of five. Does the Golden Princess have a similar package or is only pay by the bag? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever noticed pay by the item or stuff a bag, but Mrs Gut prefers to do our own (or make me do it anyway), she doesn't like the harsh chemicals.

Brissy Rookie Cruiser Posted October 12, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Thanks for that . HAL had no washing facilities, so it looks like I will be on washing duty! Any good tips for the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lola2013 Posted October 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Princess has self-serve Laundromats on passenger decks of their ships. I've taken a little time on three previous Princess cruises to wash, dry & iron my laundry. It's been a few years; I seem to recall it being just a few dollars per load. And I understand that you now don't need any coins; you can use your seapass card to work the machines. I usually go in late at night with a book or turn on the TV for the time it takes to do a load or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted October 24, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Princess does not offer laundry packages or deals. Any laundry you send to them to wash will be charged by the piece and it can get expensive. Use the laundromats on most decks. You can buy soap but it is better (cheaper) to bring your own. The rooms can get crowded however and pax sometimes do not remove their clothing on time. The laundry room has ironing boards as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socaljo Posted October 25, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Laundry is $3 to wash $3 to dry. I buy the 3-in-1 laundry sheets online. Pack of 10 for $5.99. They work great, same sheet has laundry soap & softener in it, goes with the laundry from one machine to the other. Easy! And it won't leak... :D Happy Sailing!
