Washing machine size - Sapphire Princess

[JessRa]

First time cruising! I was going to take a couple of laundry detergent pods, but then someone warned me that the machines might be the smaller, European size, and that would be too much detergent. Any one used pods on Sapphire recently? Or other laundry suggestions? Thanks all!

Pod are fine, unless you have a allergy. 

 

Other advice...

[neverbeenhere]

1) Buy tokens at machine in laundry or customer service

2) place laundry into machine with pod, insert token

3) head to a lounge for one and only one drink.

4) return to laundry room

5) switch clothing to dryer, insert token

6) head to another lounge and enjoy one and only one more drink.

7) return to laundry to pickup clothing

How fast do I need to drink my drink?

[neverbeenhere]

A relaxed 18 minutes at the bar, allowing 1.5 minutes for travel time each way. 

 

Also irons are available for free usage in the laundry room, so you might consider a drink for ironing time in the laundry.

If it is a long cruise...28 days I'd like to know how you pack enough not to do laundry?

I am only guessing, but.... to have clean clothing to wear?

Washing machines work great with one pod.

Unless you have allergy problems, use the ones supplied on the ship.

no need to find out about unknown allergies when on the ship ... "supplied" = for sale

Oh man, I'd like to not do it, but since we're flying to the departure point I just can't pack enough clothes. It's a European trip, so I actually have to pack real clothes, not just swim suits and cover ups.
