Mary Ellen1 Posted December 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hi there. Does anyone know if I can expect to find the laundry room open, and useable, on embarkation day in Fort Lauderdale? I leave on the Royal next week. DH is meeting me in FL, coming off of a 12-day trip, so it would be nice if I can wash some of his things & have them for the cruise. That would mean less stuff for me to pack. I know that sometimes, in some ports, the laundry room is closed while at port. So that's why I ask... Thanks, cruisers. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croptop Posted December 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I can't state it with 100% certainty but I'm reasonably sure that the laundry rooms on the Regal were open on embarkation day (people on B2Bs would possibly make use of them).

easyboy Posted December 15, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Last April on the Crown in FLL, there were some on a B2b who used the laundry after getting back from CBP for the 2nd segment before lunch.

Goldenpaw Posted December 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 15, 2017 On a B2B last year on the Royal I was able to do laundry on our second embarkation day after we were allowed to go back to our cabin. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homosassa Posted December 15, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Be ready to find all the machines in use. People on back to backs use the day for laundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ellen1 Posted December 15, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Good info. Thanks hm9912 & Homosassa. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm9912 Posted December 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Good info. Thanks hm9912 & Homosassa. :) FWIW my photo of the laundry room was taken at 5:38 AM on 11/27/17 on my way down to the International Cafe for a apple turnover and coffee prior to a breakfast visit to Horizon Court. The internet also works well at that hour None of the machines were in use. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlp20 Posted December 17, 2017 #10 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Open, yes. vending/change machines stocked is the issue. Knowing your plan, pack quarters and soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddles@sea Posted December 17, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 17, 2017 After a month in Spain after boarding the Regal in Barcelona I headed to the laundry after lunch. It was busy but managed to do a wash that gave us clean clothes for the cruise. Great having a cabin near the laundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlp20 Posted December 17, 2017 #14 Share Posted December 17, 2017 cruise card to get tokens on Crown - $3 wash, 3 dry Correct, but if machine is out of tokens from all the last night activity, servicing is low on the list when most the crew is ashore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
