planefring1 Posted September 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Came across an unusual product sold in NCL gift shops. single use packages of Tide laundry detergent. When I noticed it the shop was too busy on the last night to inquire as to why. Do any of you, possibly know why. Because NCL does NOT have self service laundry on board. Silly question, but perplexing nevertheless. Would think it makes a horrible souvenir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrumpyNor Posted September 11, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Small items can easily be washed in the bathroom sink (or bathtub if you have that in your cabin/suite). There is a clothing line for laundry in the bathroom as well, above the shower or bathtub). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shower gel or shampoo in the cabin works just fine. 😊 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_sobe Posted September 11, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I've always enjoyed a Tide pod on my pillow at night. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shower gel or shampoo in the cabin works just fine. 😊 I take a tiny, mini tide with me to wash clothes in the sink if necessary. I pass on all toiletries in the cabin, as well as land hotels. I never use them. I prefer to use my selected products versus whatever companies put in their bathrooms. With my skin type, that works better for me, so I keep with that strategy.

Rare BirdTravels Posted September 11, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Many don’t want to pay for laundry service on the ship. Only upper Latitudes tier and club suites get a free bag of laundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted September 11, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I bring my own laundry pods for those things I wash in the sink and hang in the shower area to dry. Didn’t know they sold them in the gift shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traveling Man Posted September 11, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Sometimes when there’s a port stop near the middle of the cruise with no tours that interest us, we’ll plan on taking our laundry to a self-serve laundromat and read a book while the clothes are in the washer. We haven’t had to do that on an NCL cruise in several years, since we get free laundry service on board, but we did it last week on Celebrity, last month on American Cruise Lines, and last May on Avalon. We usually remember to pack some detergent and fabric softener, but occasionally we’ve had to buy some on the fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted September 11, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 11, 2022 You can also buy laundry detergent sheets that dissolve in water. A full sheet does a load so you can cut it in small pieces to do a sink full. They’re expensive on travel sites but WM has 50 sheets for $8. But I just use shampoo anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
