windsor55 Posted August 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2013 We will have 12 days British Isles cruise on board of Caribbean Princess this August and one week in London before. And of course it is essentual for such long period to have possibility to wash clothes. In some review I noted there is self-service laundry available on board. Can somebody comment how is it arranged - location, price, drying and ironing service, etc. Important to know if it is necessary to bring own washing powder for laundry. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted August 5, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2013 There is a self service laundry room on each passenger deck. They alternate between the front and the back of the ship. Cost is about $2 per load to wash and to dry. Irons are available with no charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia1913 Posted August 5, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 5, 2013 There is a machine in each laundry room that sells powder. I believe it's $1.00/per small box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potstech Posted August 5, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2013 If you can find the Purex 3 in 1 sheets they do a great job and take up little room. If not in your local stores try Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted August 5, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Every Princess ship has self-serve laundries. They also have ironing boards and irons that are free to use. If you prefer, you can send out your clothes to be pressed. You'll need quarters for the washers and dryers. Don't bother bringing any as they add a lot of weight to your bag. There are change machines in each laundry room (locations are clearly marked on deck plans) or you can get change at your leisure at the Passenger Services Desk.

caribill Posted August 6, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 6, 2013 There is a machine in each laundry room that sells powder. I believe it's $1.00/per small box. It was. I think it is $1.50 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pia1913 Posted August 6, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2013 It was. I think it is $1.50 now. I've never bought one. I used to carry some Tide with me, now I use the Purex sheets in case I have the need to use a washer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holomoku Posted August 9, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 9, 2013 One thing we have noticed is that each floor has different sized laundry rooms, so, some may have 3 washers and 3 dryers others 4 of each. Timing is everything, so, the closer to the end of the voyage the more crowded. Ironing was almost always available even when the machines were full. Quarters are very easy to get in the Casino the night before you plan to do the laundry, because the change machines seem to run out quickly in the laundry room and Pass. Serv. seems to always have a line of some sort.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunnerGirl26.2 Posted August 9, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 9, 2013 $2 to wash or to dry. I bring detergent pods, dryer sheets, and a roll of quarters. There is also a pull out clothesline in the shower if you want to hand wash or hang drippy bathing suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
