librarian Posted April 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2019 We will be aboard Crown Princess this summer. Prior to boarding we will spend 4 days in London. Does anyone know what hours the laundry opens. Will be traveling with messy children and will wash a lot. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted April 27, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2019 If you are talking about 'do it yourself' laundry, the laundry rooms are open 24/7. They do get busy on sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaLuvCruising Posted April 27, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2019 We were on the Grand to Hawaii April 6th. Guest laundries were unlocked 8am to 10pm. I am an early riser and usually have my laundry DONE before 8am, so it wasn't convenient for me. I do understand concern about noise and hall traffic impacting nearby staterooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed that whenever I passed our laundry room it was always open. I was usually in my cabin by 10 PM. Thanks for the correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mar2352 Posted April 27, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I have a question about the laundry. Is it noisy for the cabins outside the laundry area. How many cabins down should you be from the laundry area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and thank goodness. Once had a cabin right outside laundry room and people congregate there while their wash is getting done as the laundry room is very very warm to be in. The loud talking woke me up at 8 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance on Emerald, the laundry forward on deck 5 was open 24 hours; while the laundry on deck 10(?) aft closed at 10pm. Princess is consistently inconsistent.

We've also had a stateroom close to the guest laundry - very convenient, but we did find the stateroom too warm and suspected it was because of the dryers.

I'd reserve a room at June's Whittier Condo Suites in the Begich Tower, which gives you access to a laundry room/laundromat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many cabins down should you be from the laundry area We have literally been directly across the hall from the laundry room and never heard a thing. There are two doors to get in, so that probably muffles the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Boarded in Whittier.) It was amazingly busy but got my two loads done in time before muster. Relieved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
