SargassoPirate Posted January 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I've searched the boards and see varying answers about self-service laundries on the Volendam. Deck plans online are of little help. My question - how many and where? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Been There, Planning That Posted January 31, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 31, 2019 We're about to board and have been assured that there are NO self serve laundries on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been There, Planning That Posted January 31, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Confirmed by HAL posting: Holland America Line. Holland America Line offers send-out laundry and eco-friendly dry cleaning. The line also has self-service launderettes aboard Maasdam, Veendam, Amsterdam and Prinsendam, which leaves HAL's fleet in July 2019. ... Passengers in Neptune and Pinnacle suites receive complimentary laundry and pressing.Nov 20, 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had been in drydock immediately prior & the launderettes were removed. I did use the one on Prinsendam, but it is soon to be no more (Waaaa). I cannot comment on the other ships you mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargassoPirate Posted January 31, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Thanks all. I'm looking at a long cruise on the Volendam -30 days- and a laundromat is a nicety. I have mostly quick dry travel clothing, so I can get by with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted January 31, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I think the last time on Volendam, the launderettes had been removed. The shampoo is good for doing hand wash in your sink! And there is a line in the shower. I always just rolled things up in the towel and stood on it to help dry the wet clothes and then hang them to dry. I usually take a few little clothespin hangers.

Coolcruise02 Posted February 1, 2019 #8 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I just got off the Volendam and did not see a laundry facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneychick55 Posted February 1, 2019 #9 Share Posted February 1, 2019 There are no self serve washer/ dryers. I just got off last week. 20 for a bag or 105 unlimited for the 15 day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was encouraged when I read that about Maasdam until I read your report. We have four star laundry but there are things I prefer to do myself to be sure they are in cold water and not the hottest dryer. DH will have no problem but I'll be handwashing a bunch it appears. Our previous long cruises have been on Veendam and the self serve laundry came in really handy. This has been an advantage of sailing on the older ships.

akav8er Posted February 3, 2019 #11 Share Posted February 3, 2019 They no longer have self-service laundry on the Volendam. The send out laundry service works flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
