I think someone said that the day 7 test results are given to you at departure on day 8, so they're 24 hours old when you disembark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envelope21 Posted July 2, 2021 #555 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Can someone tell me about the laundry situation on the Sky? How do you pay for it (coins?) and is it difficult to get, meaning are the machine(s) often being used? Also, where is it located on the ship? I would love to rethink some of my packing and bring less. I will be on the July 17 sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our sailing arrives back in Reykjavik on a Tuesday, but our flight departure is 2 days later on Thursday. I was told that they are using our daily saliva test results today ( Friday , so last day before disembarkation ) as the one which will we provide to the airlines for our return. We will get paperwork that confirms that the test was negative and we will present that paperwork to the airline. According to the attestation form - “ the test was a viral test that was conducted on a specimen collected from me during the 3 calendar days proceeding the flight’s departure “. That means if the test is done today, then it will be good for a departure on Saturday, Sunday or Monday. Based on your days, I would say that you are good to go on Thursday as long as your test is done no earlier than on Monday . That is what is in place right now; not sure when you are going so keep an eye on that. Your airline should have something about this in their requirements to fly back to the US . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking does not charge for self service wash machines, and provides soap etc. No opinion about dryer sheets, c'mon man..it's Iceland! Directions are pictorial, and maybe confusing to some (like me). Irons/boards available too. They are on alternate decks as I recall, and amoun t of use varies by day & hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, looks like I am the umpteenth person to answer this question. Guess that's what happens when you read the postings last to first, miss previous answers. Sheesh!

TayanaLorna Posted July 2, 2021 #574 Share Posted July 2, 2021 We are getting into a lot of general stuff here rather then LIVE. There is still the Iceland General roll call for ship questions - services or otherwise. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually this was discussed earlier in the stream and I learned that dryer sheets leave a residue in the dryer that may cause a reaction in people with sensitive skin. So, for the sake of others, dryer sheets should not be used, not even scent free ones. You learn all kinds of things here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
