Raisinette Posted June 30, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Hello, I'm a happy customer of another cruise line, but considering trying a Holland America cruise. I have a general question - do any of the Holland America ships have laundry facilities where you can do your own laundry? Thanks! Becky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveling Dot Posted June 30, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Sorry but no self service laundry. They used to have them on the smaller ships that were sold during the pandemic. But the laundry by the bag is very good. Edited June 30, 2022 by Traveling Dot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becky At $6 a day the cruise long laundry package is a bargain. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted June 30, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 30, 2022 If I really want to do laundry, I can do it at home. Enjoy your vacation and send it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each ship in the Holland America Line fleet offers a full laundry, pressing and eco-friendly dry cleaning service. You can pay by the item (from $2), by the bag (from $20) or buy an unlimited laundry package for the duration of your cruise (from $7 per day). Laundry is charged at $20 per bag in North America and $30 per bag in Europe. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargassoPirate Posted June 30, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 30, 2022 A laundromat is a nicety, but not a deal breaker. We have a range of quick dry travel clothes that we use for extended land trips outside the US and pack those for longer cruises. There's nothing wrong with washing out a few things in your cabin, especially if they'll dry overnight. You can also "wear a day, air a day" on clothing that is not right next to your skin. We would rather pack light than try to haul extra clothes around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having trouble seeing anyway to do this on the HAL website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go into "cruise activities" and then "packages." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you sign into your HAL account and go to the booking, then select Cruise Activities > Packages & Gifts > Packages > Packages > scroll down to Unlimited Laundry Package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. They do ask you to choose one occupant of the cabin for the laundry package. But I assume only one occupant actually has to buy the package, but one can then use the service for both occupants? Don't want to buy this package twice for the cabin if we don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john2003 Posted June 30, 2022 #12 Share Posted June 30, 2022 This is a great service. We are 4* so don't pay but it is so good we would if we had to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raisinette Posted June 30, 2022 Author #13 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Thanks for all the feedback! I don't have any quick dry type clothes, and the excess dryer heat is a concern for tops and undies. I don't mind sending the rest through the laundry though... Will have to give this some thought. Becky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapitch Posted July 1, 2022 #14 Share Posted July 1, 2022 You can specify air dry for the laundry. We have done this in the past and it may take an extra day for your laundry to be returned, but worth it. Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
