TIA Cliff Yes they still have the fabric bag, and it does hold lots. It was $20 a bag on our last couple of cruises, and was available every day. We have always been happy with the job they do on the laundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted October 7, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 7, 2017 HAL still uses the cloth laundry bag. It costs $20 in most areas, and $30 in Europe, and is available every day. Or, you can purchase an unlimited plan for $7 per day of cruise ($9 in Europe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrcruiser Posted October 7, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Thanks for the information :). Wow just $20 for that bag of laundry is still very reasonable:D . Paid $25 for a bag on RCCL's Anthem of the Seas recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNOT2L82SAIL Posted October 7, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 7, 2017 and.... if you are sailing on a ship with a self serve laundry room, it is only $2 for a wash and $1 to dry the clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the unlimited as we only did by-the-bag, but I am happy to report that the bag was only $20 in June on Zuiderdam in the Baltics. I was expecting $30 for Europe based on the CC boards but was in fact only charged $20. Others I was travelling with were also charged $20 so it was not a lucky error haha. Perhaps HAL has finally learned that consistency across the fleet makes for a better passenger experience? :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKJonesy Posted October 8, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Does anyone know if Rotterdam has the self service laundry. We were just on Oosterdam and they had the $20 bag which was great if you had a good amount, but sometimes the self service was nice just for a small load. Anyone know? I've had a whole lot of Yes and No answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a whole lot of Yes and No answers. Yes, it does. They are on the Verandah and Main decks. We have used them on a few sailings but usually do the $7/day unlimited laundry for the cabin. It allows us to pack fewer clothes and we leave the ship with some clean ones, which is convenient if we do anything post-cruise other than return straight home.

mhb1757 Posted October 10, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I think I remember that the Noordam does not have a self service laundromat. Is that correct? Does anyone know the cost of the unlimited laundry plan for Australia/New Zealand cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted October 10, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 10, 2017 On Zuiderdam two weeks ago we used the $20 per bag - amazing how much you can cram in - and even more amazing is how good a job they do - except for this sticky little itchy marker tags you will be pulling off for weeks - sort of a souvenir of your cruise.

A bag should cost $20, and the per diem for unlimited should be $7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVol1 Posted October 10, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 10, 2017 except for this sticky little itchy marker tags you will be pulling off for weeks - sort of a souvenir of your cruise. I’ve been writing “Please do not place laundry stickers on stitches” and we’ve had NO stickers on our Nieuw Amsterdam cruise! I was tired of trying to gently pry off the stickers from the t-shirt hems (and ripping out stitching in the process). I don’t know if this sentence will work on other cruises but it’s working on this one!!! [emoji2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Bell Posted March 13, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 13, 2018 has there been any increases in the price of laundry since October, 2017? We cruised on Eurodam Jan/Feb 2018 and paid $20. for a well stuffed bag of laundry. Clothes came back within a day, clean & neatly folded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted March 14, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 14, 2018 new to HAL....which ships have self serve laundry rooms? It used to the Prinsendam and the S & R ships (Volendam, Maasdam, Rotterdam, Veendam, Amsterdam & Zaandam). I say used to be as I think I read a thread where one of ths ships closed the self serve laundry but my memory is short. Hopefully someone has a better memory than I. But the above list is it in a nutshell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
