faze41 Posted March 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Doing 5 weeks B2B2B in Northern Europe starting next month. Tips for cool weather, long voyage packing and managing laundry would be extremely helpful for those that have been there/done that. Will be limited to taking one suitcase/one carry-on each. We are both Diamond on Royal. Thanks for any and all input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impatientlywaiting Posted March 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2017 We did 29 days this past fall (b2b). Once a week there is a special where you can stuff the laundry bag full for $20 or $30 (can't remember exact price) wash & fold. DH always sent all of his things to laundry. I didn't send my "unmentionables" or t-shirts. Instead, I brought a small bottle of Tide, hand washed them myself and either hung them in the shower to dry or out on the balcony. It worked perfectly for us. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerif Posted March 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Now $35. But I think there's a Diamond coupon for a few $$ off. No need to bring your own detergent, the shower glop works great for a little hand washing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bay guy Posted March 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2017 We bought a Scrubee and used it to do many items we didn't want to send to the ship laundry and it worked very well. Just bring your own detergent and fill and empty it in your shower. I believe that we (Diamond+) got one free laundry bag each and used that for socks, t shirts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Find a laundromat in the turn around port city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynt Posted March 21, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I would find a local launderette in one of your port stops or embark or debark ports. Put dirty laundry in a suitcase or two and roll or cab it to the nearest launderette.
