But folks are leery of the quality 🙄 I understand why they feel this way, everything comes back a tinge of gray and over dried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I packed enough clothes for the 13 night cruise and what we wore in FL, we washed and repacked it. On longer cruises, we do utilize the free bag of laundry for underwear and t-shirts. I only utilize the free bag for underwear and t shirts after several ruined shirts. Packing for 13 days would mean too much luggage for me. I don't like lugging around luggage overseas. For cruises out of Florida I have booked hotels with laundry machines but never had a hotel in Europe with machines. I have switched to both travel pants and shirts and travel underwear that could be washed in the sink and don't need ironing so in the future a laundry room probably won't be decisive.

For evening/dinner I wear everything twice so I take enough for 7 nights but I do take enough of daytime outfits for everyday. So, a few dresses and a couple pairs of capris and tops. We go out of Baltimore a lot and drive there in just over an hour. For Europe, we would pack differently. Heck, for NE/Canada we packed differently because we could wear some clothes more than once. Jeans and tops I wore over insulated ones. On a 9 night CA/NE, I had two pairs of jeans. On a 13 night Caribbean I need 13 pairs of shorts. For the World cruise, I'm sure I'd probably take 2-3 weeks worth of clothes at least so I wasn't doing laundry every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So while I did not desire to do laundry I did do laundry. I also booked Princess for those combined cruises/land instead of other cruise lines because Princess has laundry rooms. I go on two week trips every year, with part of days on a ship, and still, never did laundry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longford Posted December 15, 2022 #32 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Possibly, a logistical nightmare. How many cabins on each deck? How many people in those cabins? How many washers and dryers? What to do when people forget their laundry is in a machine and others are waiting to use? A one-off for the world cruise might be ok, but long term? How has this worked on other ships?

How has this worked on other ships? It works very well on Princess. There's 1 or 2 laundry rooms on each passenger deck. (Not sure if it's every single passenger deck, but most of them.) Each laundry room has maybe 4 washers and 4 dryers. Probably because relatively few people use the laundry facilities, there's typically no issues with availability. Also I suspect those that do use the facilities use them at all different times of the day. It's actually quite convenient and useful. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Azamara, Oceania and QM 2 which I have been on have laundry rooms but I never used them on those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heatherb1958 Posted December 15, 2022 #46 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I am always fascinated how Americans seem to send their underwear to the ship's laundry . Me ? Never , ever , ever , I value the elastic in my knickers to stay elastic and my white bras to stay white . I hand wash in the bathroom sink and hang on the line in the shower or use my hanger that has clothes pegs on it. Only ever used the ship's laundry once for tshirts and they were ruined , never again . Stuff dries overnight in the shower so long as you don't pack heavy thick tshirts . Heck I have even washed jeggings and they dried quickly . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have travel underwear now that is made to be hand washed and drys fast. Same with my pants. I pack performence pants that can be hand washed and they drys in a few hours and does not need ironing. Pole shirts and tshirts 60/40 fabric from Eddie Baur wash and hang up drys unwrinkled. I have a future goal of gettting my luggage on a cruise down to a carry on. Edited December 15, 2022 by Charles4515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
