On Board Laindry

Regarding the on-board laundromats.

 

What is the cost for one washer load? Drier? Do the machines take quarters, or tokens only? And, if tokens only, how much do they cost?

Scan your Ocean Medallion OM in the laundrette and get tokens. $3 each wash and $3 each dry.

You may wish to pack your own detergent and dryer sheets, the kind you like. The supplies are available at an extra small charge. Irons are free.

Thank you both, very much!

Slightly off topic but still laundry, we will be in a full suite next spring and understand that "free" laundry is included.  This will be our  first Princess cruise and have mainly sailed Celebrity before and had laundry picked up and delivered, folded and hung, included.  Is this what we can expect on Princess, or will we just get a bunch of laundromat tokens?

No tokens. Tokens are for the self service laundry. Full suites receive laundry service. You place your laundry in a bag, or for jackets, dresses you place them on the bed. You complete the laundry ticket. If I remember correctly full suites receive next day service. The cabin steward picks it up during the morning or evening service, or you can page the steward. Items like pants, shorts, shirts, T shirts, are delivered back to the cabin on hangers and hung in the closet. Other items like socks, underwear will folded be in a bag.

Tips. Take a photo of the laundry ticket. There is no limit on how many bags you can send, every day if you want. Hung laundry is returned on wire hangers. You could gather a closet full of empty wire hangers, we always do. Just take the empty hangers and place them on your bed or table and the steward will remove them, or you can just hang them on any cabin steward's cart handle.

Good tip about the wire hangers.  I just let them pile up on the closet pole where they  rattle all night.🙃

Back in 2019 we did a 3/3/7 b/b/b on the inaugural Sky Princess out of Ft. Lauderdale, and we purchased Tide single wash packets from Amazon.
