PG doesn't have a self-service laundry. They will launder/dry clean for a reasonable price.

I responded to this question in your "Information Please" post, but figured I'd post the answer here, as well, in case anyone else is wondering the same thing.

 

As MotuIslander noted, they don't have self-service laundry onboard; you have to send items to be washed or dry cleaned and pressed. We thought the prices for laundering individual clothing items were on the expensive side, so we brought enough clothes to avoid doing laundry on the ship. But afterward, I found out that the PG offers unlimited laundry packages (I believe it's just machine washing; no dry cleaning) at a fairly reasonable per-cabin price. You just have to book the laundry package before you sail: http://www.pgcruises.com/pre-reserve-packages

 

If you do a pre- or post-cruise hotel stay, you should have the option to do self-service laundry there. The Tahiti InterContinental has a few free washers and dryers scattered around the resort (the laundry rooms have one washer and one dryer; I think there are three public laundry rooms). I brought a sample-sized pack of detergent and a few dryer sheets, and did one load before we boarded the ship. (The laundry room I used was a short walk from the main pool, so I relaxed poolside during the wash and dry cycles.)

 

Hope this helps!

That helps a lot.
