matt082600 Posted April 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Is the Laundry Machines high efficiency or regular machines? What kind of detergent does it take? I have not sailed every ship, but the ones I've sailed have standard "household type" washers and dryers. I believe all that's sold in the detergent vending machines is powdered detergent, but I could be mistaken. I certainly think liquid could be used as well.

jayscore Posted April 24, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 24, 2017 We bring Tide pods and dryer sheets. They don't take up much room in the luggage.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMRPHRN Posted April 24, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The dryers as in most public used facilities are very inadequate I've found. You would be advised to launder small loads to assure they get dry. You can also get small packs of Tide where travel size items are sold (Wal-Mart?) which can be rationed for smaller loads. If you are just doing your unmentionables you can also find small packs of Woolite for washing in the sink (sold conveniently with a sink stopper) at Amazon.

SadieN Posted April 24, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The machines are 'single' load. Even a tide pod has too much in it. Bring some liquid or powder. Though the cost onboard isn't horrible. They're either $1.50 or $3. We still have Purex sheets, half a sheet is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbird Posted April 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 24, 2017 So I should bring quarters? Or do they take Sail & Sign cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted April 24, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Where can you find small boxes of laundry detergent or soap? Can buy onboard in the laundry room. Have seen them in the travel section of Walmart and Target. In the past we've made our own laundry packs of premeasured powder in a ziplock bag.

GMRPHRN Posted April 24, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 24, 2017 So I should bring quarters? Or do they take Sail & Sign cards? Some ships use S&S and others are still coin operated. You can exchange dollars for quarters at Guest Services, though. So, no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvelMania Posted April 24, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted April 24, 2017 So I should bring quarters? Or do they take Sail & Sign cards? Below is a link to carnival's website that tells which ships takes sail and sign card and which ships take quarters. https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1134/~/laundry-service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger0613 Posted April 24, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Bed Bath & Beyond sells 3-packs of Tide sink size detergent. I believe it was somewhere around $0.99 - $1.29(maybe $1.59) per pack. I used one of my many 20% off coupons. Travel size toiletries are only available in stores that have a bath department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
