Crown Princess self service laundry

How do you pay for the self service laundry machines on the Crown? Do you need change or can you charge to your cruise card?

Most Princess ships have converted to using your cruise card to charge the cost of using the machines. Which of course coincided with a price increase from $2 per load to $3. But should you find a machine that requires quarters you can obtain change from the purser's desk. (It always amused me how often there were lengthy threads debating whether it is better to pack a roll of quarters or just get change onboard. We all have such different priorities when planning I guess)

Sorry I can't help with the answer. I suggest that you check out a laundry room in advance of when you need to use it.

From experience, if you know you are going to do laundry, I would advise bringing your own laundry soap. It was an additional $2.00 (probably more now) for a box of soap in the laundry room, enough for one load. If you are able to buy individual boxes from any store at home, I would advise that. Probably not a safe idea to travel with a zipper baggie of white powder. ;):p:D

Don't know if it was changed during her dry dock, but on our cruise just prior we used quarters for the machines.
