Does the Royal have the 'fill a bag for $30 (give or take) service offered about mid-cruise?

I haven't seen in a few years (4 cruises or so, various ships)

We were on the Royal for 38 days earlier this year, no Bag of Laundry deals.

No bag of laundry deals like some lines. But unlike some lines, Princess has inexpensive self serve laundry rooms on each deck.

I have not seen that promo in a long time. When I did it was Dos Equis....I mean $20/bag.

Every Princess ship has self service laundry, $3 wash, $3 dry + a few $$ for soap & dryer sheets. Of course you can bring you own. Irons are free in every laundry room.

I have not seen a bag deal offered for laundry. We take our own detergent and dryer sheets (pods are easiest) and do laundry ourselves on longer cruises. However, we find the dryers to be very hot and damaging to our clothes. So, we end up having to do two dryer cycles per load, it's expensive at $9 per load (one wash, two dry). Actually I think when we did laundry on the Royal we did not have to use a second dryer cycle, which was awesome!!

None mid-cruise. Laundry service still on per item basis.

It's probably going to depend on the ship, and I can't say for the Royal as not sailed on it.

 

However it has been offered both times we did the Panama Canal on the Coral, which was 10 & 11 day trips. We are just off the Coral last week for 7-days in Alaska, and it was not offered then, so from our personal experience, it seems to only be longer cruises.

 

This is the patter from 2/2016 and you can see it was offered then:

Thanks everyone. I see the laundry room not far from our cabin. Think I'll take a couple of pods and fabric sheets with us. I'm thinking the laundry room won't be busy at 5 am. I'm an early riser!

No, it will be locked and empty. The laundry rooms are kept locked at night to avoid bothering the passengers in the adjoining cabins. I believe they unlock them around 8:00 AM and then lock them at 10:00PM.

Absolutely correct from our experience. We were across from the laundry recently. While there is very little noise coming from inside the laundry itself, there was some lively discussion noise coming from the folks going in and out.

I have met some very nice people in the laundry room:D
