hi there. We are doing back to back cruises this December on the Horizon. Besides havinh the pools all to ourselves, is this the best time to do laundry in their laundry room? Some sites show the laundry rooms closed while docked? Any other tips on what we should do with ship empty of cruisers? Thanks.

A friend of mine was able to do their laundry on the 1st day of our B2B a couple of years ago while the ship was empty. She went there as soon as we had gone thru immigration and were back on the ship. Not sure if this is the same on Horizon, but I would assume so.

We were on the Glory and went to guest services and asked if the laundry would be open on the splendor when we got off of Glory and jumped on Splendor. They said yes and we would need quarters. So I purchased the quarters and at the end of our Glory trip boarded the Splendor and all the laundry rooms were locked. I asked a room steward in the hall if this was normal and they said yes, but they would call someone. It took a while, but someone in a white uniform showed up and unlocked the door. The funny thing is the washer and dryers used your sail and sign card. No quarters needed!

One thing I have done is laundry the night before debarkation of the first leg. Everyone else is packing and prepping to leave in the morning. Obviously the laundry being available depends on which ship you will be on and one ship doesn’t really know what any other ships are doing!

The first day of the second week is a good opportunity. You don't really ever end up on an empty ship because you don't get escorted through customs until everyone is gone. Then people start boarding within minutes of when you get back on the ship. Most things are closed that morning so there isn't much to do until you reboard. We usually just people watch that morning. There's always a show at guest services.
