justlindal1 Posted February 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I thought I read self laundry could not be done while cruising in the South Pacific when cruising around the islands, and now I don't remember where I read it. We are on the Star Princess 28 day cruise,. Does anyone know if this is true? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum52 Posted February 6, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Yes justlindal1, you can do your laundry in the self service laundries which are situated on the decks where there are only cabins only - on the Star Princess decks 8-12 I think. Check the deck plans on the Princess website. You use your cruise card to purchase tokens from a machine in the laundry. The cost is around $3 per wash and dryer loads. You can purchase detergent from the machine as well. We usually take our own so I'm not sure of the cost. Enjoy your cruise. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justlindal1 Posted February 6, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Thank you possum 52. However I really wanted to know if I can wash while in the South Pacific. I thought I read the waters were protected and laundry couldn't be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think of the many table cloths, towels and bed linens needed. They will all be washed in whatever ocean the ship cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
