stretchcruz Posted July 22, 2018 #102 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I was just looking at the 2,200 pictures of the Orion, and there are now 4 washers and dryers on each deck! Good news! We will be onboard for 32 days, laundry is in our future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just liquid detergent, usually some sort of green product that doesn't tax the on-board water system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the Viking posters! I have read through these 3 pages and have most of my questions answered. I have not seen what the turn around time is for laundry service. My experience on another line has been that they say approximately 2 days but it has usually been quicker. Does Viking give you a time frame?

theduffys Posted December 9, 2018 #109 Share Posted December 9, 2018 On our Sept. cruise we would send laundry out with our evening turn down service and it was returned the following afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Small is better Posted December 12, 2018 #110 Share Posted December 12, 2018 On Amazon trip, as a water saving measure, the lauderettes were closed for several days. The Viking Sea cannot 'make' water on the Amazon so asks everyone to conserve. Once it refilled the water tanks in Manaus, the lauderettes reopened but we had to continue to conserve water until we were back in the Atlantic.

King Windom Posted January 12, 2019 #111 Share Posted January 12, 2019 We are going on the Viking Sea in 2020 and noticed that our cabin is across from the launderette. Should we be worried about noise? It seems that the launderette is open overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually talked to a woman who always picked the cabin across from the lauderette so she could go back and forth easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I had to find the picture just to jog my memory) And while I'm at it, here's a picture of the washing machine control panel. It won't seem so daunting the first time you go to use it. The first time I went to use it, I just stared at like it was written in Martian (yeah, I went for the PC choice of alphabets). It even reminds you that after you start the machine that you have to go over to the soap dispensers on the wall (just out of the picture, on the wall to the right of the machines) and push the button-- dispenser 3 for this machine. On 4/20/2017 at 10:47 PM, snookie1 said: We will be on the Sea in November in the Caribbean, so I was very happy to see this information about the washers and dryers. The picture of the control panel on the washer was puzzling to me. I can figure out the setting icons on the left bottom, but what do those 2 rows of icons mean at the top? I am thinking maybe #1 means very dirty loads; maybe #2 is whites? #3 might be permanent press? #4 delicates? But what about #5 and #6? And what about the 2 icons to the right of the time indicator? If anyone can shed some light on this, I would be so grateful! I know this is older, but I think I understand the washer controls: Top right green button - start Under the "press dispenser 3" sticker: 4 fabric type options - heavy duty, whites/cottons, permanent press, delicates; 2 spin options - rinse and spin, spin only Thermometer - water temperature: cold, warm, hot? Spiral - spin speed: low, medium, fast Shirt - soil level: light, medium, heavy Green lights indicate what is selected. Green numbers are minutes remaining (which being HE machines are likely an estimate and may adjust during cycle) Lock - self explanatory, door locked while filled with water Tub with vertical line - soak? Tub with water and + - extra rinse Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicPrince Posted October 22, 2019 #118 Share Posted October 22, 2019 About the soap dispensers: you want to make sure you have started the washer and get a little water in before you hit the button to dispense the detergent. A little trick the room steward showed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a Georgia Peach Posted October 22, 2019 #122 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The machines are not self explanatory. There was no staff available when we used used the laundry area. The thread topic is about laundry, if you aren't interested you don't have to look at the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small is better Posted January 13, 2020 #124 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Lightly. Fabric Softener is not provided so you may want to bring a few sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra rinse didn't help. If you must bring your own, it should be HE compatible. Speaking of allergies, those of us who do have allergies would prefer that people don't use fabric softeners in the machines as the product lingers, especially dryer sheets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
