That''s you and your family, and good for you. No I don't wash the dishes, but I do tidy my room. I prefer self-serve laundry facilities so that I don''t have to pack as much and I frankly enjoy doing a load of laundry mid-cruise. We're doing a two week Norwegian cruise in about four months and I'm not looking forward to packing enough clothes to last the two weeks. I'd prefer doing one or two loads of laundry than lugging that much baggage.
