Rare John&LaLa Posted December 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 13, 2022 As part of the modifications for UWC, Serenade will get a few laundry rooms Also getting new higher bed frames, and refrigerator in lieu of the existing coolers. Not sure of time frame. Bed frames are to better accommodate luggage storage. Came up during Q&A on Wonder cruise this weekend 20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovesthebeach2 Posted December 15, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) I would love to have these changes for our 10 night on Serenade in February, but I don’t think it will be done by then. I also would like the higher bed and new mattresses. the laundry makes sense, I was wondering how it would be handled on such a long voyage Edited December 15, 2022 by lovesthebeach2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted December 15, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Princess ships have had laundry rooms on each cabin deck n all of their ships. We found that feature to be very useful. The Landry rooms also had ironing boards and irons.While some people do not see the benefit of doing laundry while on a cruise,we never minded it as we could pack less .We would put in a load or two,return to the cabin,enjoy the balcony then check on the laundry after the allotted time of a cycle.Especially on a sea day, it wasn’t too much trouble. We haven’t sailed on Carnival, but I think there are laundry rooms on their ships. Cunard also has laundry rooms on their ships. It was a great help when we were on a TA to Southampton then spent a week in London. MJ🙋🏻 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cruise is often part of a much longer vacation, so it would be nice to have that option in such a convenient environment as a cruise ship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came up during Q&A on Wonder cruise this weekend Interesting! - I myself wouldn't do laundry on a cruise ... unless it were a back-to-back or part of a longer vacation. - I would like the "real refrigerator" instead of a cooler. - Couldn't care less about bed frames. We only ever bring one suitcase, and it goes into the bottom of the closet to act as a hamper. On the last day, we zip it up, and we're packed. - I would like a better mattress. 24 minutes ago, Charles4515 said: ... So while I did not desire to do laundry I did do laundry ... Just for the record, I never desire to do laundry. Not at home, not on vacation -- but I do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So while I did not desire to do laundry I did do laundry. I also booked Princess for those combined cruises/land instead of other cruise lines because Princess has laundry rooms. We just got back three weeks ago from three weeks on vacation (FL and b2b 13 night cruise). We stayed in Bartow for one night and at the Radisson in PC for 4 nights. On the day before the cruise, we did a load of laundry while we ate breakfast and hung by the pool. I packed enough clothes for the 13 night cruise and what we wore in FL, we washed and repacked it. On longer cruises, we do utilize the free bag of laundry for underwear and t-shirts. I've also been known to handwash my swimsuits and a couple of other small articles using shampoo (works great as detergent) and roll them in a towel and hang in the bathroom. It all dries overnight so not a big deal. Of course, we always take the Auto Train to FL so not really limited. I can't imagine doing a world cruise without laundry facilities.
