Luxuriate Posted May 12, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Should I bring pockets full of quarters for the laundry room on Emerald Princess? I assume the machines run on quarters? I am traveling with hubby and four-year old son and would like to wash a load or two during the 10-day cruise. What does it cost to wash a dry a load of laundry on the Emerald?

jeaniem Posted May 12, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 12, 2008 We always put in a roll of quarters and a a small ziploc bag of laundery soap in our suitcase. It seems like the coin machine and soap machine on board hardly ever works, so being prepared is one less stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted May 12, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2008 You can always get change at the purser's desk. However, I usually bring quarters with me to avoid needing to go there just for change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthelake Posted May 12, 2008 #5 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yes, take a roll of quarters. I have some laundry detergent that comes in tablets and I put the soap, quarters and dryer sheets in a ziplock bag. When I want to do laundry, I have everthing organized and easy to find. Couldn't be easier. Different ship, but I paid $1 to wash, $1 to dry. The front loading washers hold quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert star Posted May 12, 2008 #6 Share Posted May 12, 2008 There was a change machine in the laundry on the CB. It was $1.00 to wash and $1.00 to dry, but it usually took two drying cycles to get the heavier stuff really dry. I always pack powered laundry soap, and drier sheets since they only have a limited selection of soap and no softener of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted May 12, 2008 #7 Share Posted May 12, 2008 We have always found a change machine in the laundry room. The washer and dryer are each $1.00, paid in quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississauga Posted May 12, 2008 #8 Share Posted May 12, 2008 On the Emerald it is $1.50 for the washing machine and $1.50 for the dryer. $1.00 each for detergent and $1.00 for fabric softener sheets (2). There is a change machine but the one on our floor never worked so bring a roll of quarters with you. You can save by bringing your own detergent in a ziploc. Same with your fabric softener sheets too. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted May 12, 2008 #9 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I do not rely on the change machine working in the lanudry room. If it is not working, Murphy's law says that is when there will be a long line at the Purser's desk where you want to get change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack a roll of quarters, bring some soap and dryer sheets and you will be ahead by at least 1/2 hour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted May 12, 2008 #11 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I would suggest bringing some quarters and laundry soap in a few ziplock bags and away you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes531 Posted May 12, 2008 #12 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I was able to find little travel size liquid detergent at Target and I took 2 for a 14 night cruise, and several dryer sheets. Very easy, but definitely crowded!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyCruiser Posted May 12, 2008 #13 Share Posted May 12, 2008 The washers and dryer on deck nine of the Emerald were $1.25 per cycle. The change machine worked fine except I think it dispensed a Canadian quarter that the machines wouldn't take. This was the third laundry room I went to before I found an empty machine. I brought detergent and dryer sheets from home for two loads, but I only needed to do one load, so I gave the extra to the next couple to come in to do laundry. Have a great time, I loved this ship:) Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
