latebloomer56 Posted August 31, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Hello anybody know if the laundry rooms on the ships are open? Read a post they were not at one point. Also have they gone to using your medallion, tokens, or can I use quarters? I have my own detergent. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LACruiser88 Posted August 31, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Yes, they are open. You use your Medallion to purchase tokens from the dispenser in the laundry room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mikado Posted August 31, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2022 They are supposedly now free. Along with the detergent to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the Crown in May and they were open and there was a charge, however many were out of order but between 2 decks we were able to find ones that worked. The token dispensers near our deck did not work so guest services gave us complimentary tokens to use, so in essence it was free for our voyage.

They will put a basket of free tokens in the laundry room when the dispenser is not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple of reports that on some ships, the token dispensers weren't working, so there was a dish of tokens to use for free. Not all ships, just some.

Italy52 Posted August 31, 2022 #11 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Majestic Princess in June -- had to use tokens. Discovery Princess in August -- free soap and dryer sheets -- no tokens required for wash or dry. If washer and dryers on your floor are in use, you have options -- we went to the floor below us and were able to find availability there -- you are not limited to your floor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latebloomer56 Posted August 31, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Thank you everybody, I don't take quarters anymore so tokens with my medallion (fingers crossed). Plan to pack lighter than prior trips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexorg Posted August 31, 2022 #13 Share Posted August 31, 2022 It doesn't happen very often, but note that there also times where the laundry rooms may be closed if the ship is in protected waters (Glacier Bay in Alaska for example.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mikado Posted September 1, 2022 #14 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I just read a report here and saw a video of the new Discovery where the laundry room they videoed in showed “FREE” on the machines annunciators with all the detergent stacked on the shelves above. So now I’m confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are spending a considerable sum on a cruise, if the laundries are free then good, if not be prepared to spend all of $3 for a wash and $3 for a dry. Detergent if you need it costs less.

Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted September 1, 2022 #17 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Just off the Discovery 2 weeks ago...there were NO token machines at all. There was a small shelf that contained little boxes of laundry detergent free for the taking. (Riviera deck) Machines "just worked" without having to insert anything. No medallion involvement... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not free on our cruise on the Ruby in May, either...$3.00 for washer and dryer (each) then, also. We bring our own detergent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
