Also you cannot bring one on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmnathan Posted July 24, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Shame there are no self-service iron or washing facilities on board RC ships. P&O have a laundry which you can use at your leisure. It's really just another money making exercise for RC! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to do laundry or cook my own meals, I'd rent a house at the beach. Cruises are for not having to worry about that stuff. 🙂 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes forever to dry your hair. I always take my own. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I love about Carnival is the self serve laundry. It gives me something to do for an hour or so on that last boring sea day. I dont like paying 40 bucks to have a small bag of laundry done with everyone elses laundry and in extremely hot water. I certainly dont like traveling home with a suitcase full of dirty clothes. Cruises are about whatever the individual wants them to be about Edited July 24, 2019 by ryano 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very convenient and "only" 6 bucks to wash and dry. 6 bucks is a bargain compared to the 40 they charge to do a small bag on RC and you dont have to worry about your stuff being ruined.

galfromkazoo Posted July 24, 2019 #17 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I have found that hanging items in the bathroom while the shower is running will steam the wrinkles out of pretty much everything. However, you have to make sure you don't leave them in there too long or else the steam condenses on the ceiling and drips down onto your clothes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenfrostine22 Posted July 24, 2019 #18 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Those blow dryers in the cabins are a pain in the butt! Keeping your finger on the button so it stays on is sooo annoying! As stated they do not dry the hair quickly. I agree with sellwingri, bring your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we use to cruise with Princess we never used the irons in the laundry room. Nice option for those that want to.

gerif Posted July 25, 2019 #21 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I’ve cruised on other lines that have a laundry room. Never occurred to me to use them. I also don’t iron at home (haven’t owned an ironing board in at least 40 years). If it requires ironing, I don’t buy it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
