Rare LHT28 Posted November 22, 2016 #26 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Being that apparently the one laundry room gets very busy, here's a suggestion: Jacuzzi Washing! That warm bubbly water will get your clothes clean in a jiffy. Just pretreat with some of that free detergent in the laundry room. Take the clothes in with you while you sit in the jacuzzi. You can knead them if needed. Then dry the clothes out on the sundeck. You can grab some hangers from your stateroom and hang the nicer clothes on the deck under the running track. Get some sun while drying your clothes. That sea breeze will dry them up pretty fast. :D Maybe you have been sailing on the cheaper main stream lines too long :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitob Posted November 23, 2016 #37 Share Posted November 23, 2016 After we saw one guy get undressed in the Library we think ANYTHING is possible -- including doing laundry in the jacuzzi. Won't be long before someone does it . . .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie MeMe Posted November 23, 2016 #38 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Everybody uses the laundry. I once had a wonderful conversation with Dottie the Cruise Director while on Nautica. She was pressing her red suit for the function that night. Later she told me a special bedtime story (her signature) to Barbara Laundry Room! Also had a good time talking "home" with the magician. Never get better storytelling material than from the laundry room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted November 23, 2016 #39 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Sounds like the jacuzzi is going to be busy, I might have to book at least a concierge room where I can go do my laundry out on the spa deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just use the ones on the pool deck if you do not want to book Concierge you may have to wait until late at night to get in though:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoHoHo Posted November 23, 2016 #42 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Too bad they got rid of the cabanas on the R-ships. Would've been a great place to hang that laundry to dry.

curtdesilets Posted November 23, 2016 #46 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) IT IS A JOKE Do you not have a sense of humour ? Just to confirm, yes this was a joke. But now I may be regretting it considering the gullibility of some of us here. It may have sparked one or two readers to actually attempt it! If so I an sorry, and if any of you see anybody actually washing their clothes in the Jacuzzi, contact Dottie the Cruise director right away. She will handle them! :eek: Edited November 23, 2016 by curtdesilets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolChile Posted November 26, 2016 #49 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Just off Sirena yesterday. Great cruise to the Amazon (and back :eek: ;) ). Sidebar: Had a great Cruise Critic meet and greet with - wowza - 92% of the possible 30 in attendance! But I note this thread is about laundry. As on all the R ships, the one-and-only laundry room was often SRO so thought I'd try doing our laundry off the side of the ship as we cruised slowly up the Amazon. It wasn't a total wash but everything came out brown. What did make it exciting though was having to avoid the piranhas. Now that I'm home and attempting to get through this thread, I feel like I've bitob more than I can chew. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
