Noordam- self-laundromat facilities

[ajcathy]

Just returned from 20 days on the Noordam and the laundry bags are now 30.00 each. I think the unlimited package was 240.00 which I know is higher than what I had read on these boards. We did the bag three times and were really pleased with the results. All the clothes were neatly pressed and DH's shirts looked as good as if we had sent them to the cleaners at home.

The Noordam did that last year -- raised the price of the "bag" laundry to $30 for the European cruises. And then when they returned to the Caribbean -- the went back down to $20 a bag.

We used the $20 bag, it was great. You would be amazed how much you can stick in a bag :rolleyes:.

Roll it tight and stuff that bag until it is full.

Didn't we recently read the cost of unlimited laundry is now $9.00 per day?

[serendipity1499]

Thanks, both of you. We will continue to take the unlimited package....really whatever the cost it is a part of our cruise as far as I am concerned.

 

Oh I agree...Whatever the cost it's worth it!

 

Sometimes, after we are back home from a cruise, I find myself making a face at DH when he reaches for a HAL pressed shirt. ( they iron so much better than I do that I tend to want to keep them pristine forever.)

Guilty as charged Jenny..

.As a matter of fact I confess that I only iron DH's long sleeve dress shirts..His short sleeve wash & wear shirts are not pressed by me, but are beautifully pressed by HAL..;)

Krazy Kruizers..Thanks for that info..It must have been your post back in May which I downloaded..Do you think they will go back to $20.00 a bag in the Caribbean this year? In any event IMO it's a bargain..

Cheers...:)Betty

I just got off a 10 day cruise on the Noordam. It was 120 for the cruise. It was worth every penny. Especially since we had a pre and post stay in Rome. It was so hot we soaked through all of our clothes.

Most ships in the Med have been forced to raise their laundry prices.

With mostly European passengers, the ship's laundry prices are lower than the prices charged by European land-based laundries.

 

Many European passengers were saving up all their dirty laundry at home and saving money by having it cleaned onboard.

This was overwhelming the laundry plants on the ships.

Yes, I guess it was nice to have the laundry service. I was shown a paper that stated $120 EACH cruise...so for the two it said $240. I was not charged that much, thankfully. Yes the laundry came back within 18 hours and was either wrapped in tissue or hung...NOTHING was pressed. I did not expect it to be. You all are mostly saying laundry and pressing. Did I miss something? I STILL had to beg for laundry bags. They should return the laundry with a new bag.:)

How absurd! Can you imagine lugging your dirty laundry on vacation with you to save a few euros? We've used European laundries quite often, the savings would be not be anywhere near worth the hassle.

Hi there. We will be on the Noordam in a couple of weeks. Can anyone update me on the laundry rates. I don't want to rely on three-year-old information.

 

Thanks!

More accurately stated as $7 times the number of days in the cruise---regardless of how many bags you send---for unlimited. NOT "$7/bag".

[Landlubber54]

Thank you all for your responses. I had already seen the menus posted by rogerjett-photography. Great information!

 

Can't wait to board on the 22nd! :D
