@home@sea Posted July 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Does anyone whether the Oosterdam offers the unlimited laundry, and the cost for same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted July 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2022 All of the HAL ships offer unlimited laundry. The price is dependent on the length of the cruise. I think it is usually around $7? a day. There is also a one price laundry sack which will be $20 or $30, depending on the region, for all you can fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebandjess Posted August 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I know this is an older post, but I’m wondering if HAL offers fragrance free laundry detergent? We’ll be in the Oosterdam in October and have a fragrance allergy to contend with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no laundromat on the ship so they’re not going to give you laundry detergent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re hoping to do the laundry package, but I can’t have any fragrance whatsoever because it’s a true allergy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not use fragrances in their laundry products. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torquer Posted August 22, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Just got off Oosterdam...there is no odor whatsoever in the clothes that are returned from the laundry. They do an excellent job. However, this was the first cruise ever where we were missing one shirt in a batch when it was returned, but there was someone else's shirt returned instead. Our room stewards got it sorted out within a few hours and we got our correct shirt back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webguy Posted February 26, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Can anyone update the laundry menu for 223? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlimited is $7 per day and in places like Europe $9 per day. Bag was still $20/day and in Europe - $30/day. For the OP - I’ve used laundry for years and it is unscented. I use unscented fragrance free at home as well. I was on the Oosterdam in November and laundry service was as wonderful as it was pre-covid. It’s one thing that HAl does very well IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Have not seen an updated list under FAQ, but here is what i can Find: 1.Unlimited If you log in to your booking under Cruise Activities: Packages- you can scroll down and find cost for your cruise. As others have posted unlimited comes in around 7 dollars a day. From past experience this option has worked best for us in both cost and simplicity. We could put laundry in when we wanted to rather than wait for a full bag. 2. Per Bag Based on past posts price per bag could be ship specific. Seen 20 and 30 dollar quotes from different ships that were sailing around the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted February 26, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Just got off NA - it was $20/bag, $49 unlimited/week. Not-Europe. No fragrance used - usual excellent service including special requests to not dry this, hang this, don't hang that...usually received same day even though it wasn't requested. Enjoy your trip!

The $20/bag is a much better deal. We roll our items and can fit an incredible amount of laundry into 1 bag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it Yes its pretty bad! I now have a toss up between going the daily charge on the bag charge. The daily charge is attractive as we hoping to keep our luggage down to carry on only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t pay any longer for laundry but if I did I would do daily. In port for a couple of days before embarkation - ship the dirty clothes out - in a hot port where everything gets sweaty and you need to change several times? - ship it out. Daily gives you the flexibility and the odds are you would end up spending the same amount doing it by the bag and no dirty laundry in your cabin 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
