plantguy Posted July 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi Everyone! We are going to be in Cabin #440 and Cabin #436 in January/February on PG. Is there a shower rod or another clothes line to hang hand washables? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMedic555 Posted July 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2017 There is a clothes line over the bathtub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantguy Posted July 19, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Thank you for the quick response. I really appreciate it. I have read the laundry thread where people have said that their "line dry only" items came back fine, but when I phoned Paul Gauguin's customer service, they told me that the ship has no place in their laundry area to hang dry anything, so they put all the laundry in the dryers.

Cruisedreamer1 Posted July 22, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) The ship could be putting those pieces in the dryer on no heat or low heat. The laundry is extremely cautious with the clothing. Just be sure to separate those special pieces with a note in the laundry bag. I was extremely happy with my laundry results.

plantguy Posted July 23, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Thank you Cruisedreamer1. I was hesitant about using the ship's laundry, but it would definitely be easier than hand washing/hanging my things or packing too many items. I will reconsider the laundry option.

BlancaNoir Posted July 26, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 26, 2017 We were in 438 last February. There was a clothes line that you could pull across the bath/shower. It was ok, but things never dried past damp. The better place to dry was in the window area. I did start sending some bathing suits and cover ups to the PG laundry by the middle of the week, just to get dry bathing suits and cover ups! I brought 4-5 suits, but it seemed like we were always in and out of the water and sometimes needed 2 suits per day. For example, we would spend the day snorkeling, come back and change into normal clothes, then want to swim in the PG pool (which is GREAT! Perfect for lazing around. Deep, even though not large, and never crowded.) Enjoy your trip! We loved Tahiti in February. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantguy Posted July 26, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Thanks BlancaNoir. I have heard that bathing suits can be hard to dry... that's why we were considering a balcony, but in the end, we wanted to spend the difference in cost on shore excursions.

mjthecruiser Posted July 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Hi BlancaNoir, Did you use the laundry package or pay by the item? How expensive was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantguy Posted July 27, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted July 27, 2017 The Laundry package for a 7 day cruise is $129. It is very expensive to piece meal the laundry unless you don't have much to do. If you read Luckybeckys review on her trip, I think she took a picture of the prices (approx. $5-7 per item). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
