peartree Posted May 17, 2006 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2006 :confused: Can someone please explain how the selfservice laundry works on the Veendam? Do you need coins. Is detergent available for a "decent" cost? Should I buy it when ashore at a later date to save packing? Hours? Crowds? Can you iron in the laundry room? Thank You, Peartree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierheadhunter Posted May 19, 2006 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2006 We are preparing for our third cruise on the Veendam June 2nd, that is, if we ever get our documents! The last was a 4 years ago. My recollection of the self service laundry was that it took quarters which you can get at the desk. The cost was a couple of dollars a load and I believe it included the detergent. I don't recall ever having to wait long. There are two to choose from. Hoosierheadhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpeedo Posted May 31, 2006 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2006 We used it a few months ago and it is the same. Quarters and you can push a button for soap.. Yes you can iron in the laundry room also. I think the hours are somewhere from 8am to 10pm. Never had a problem getting a machine. I think a lot of people do that "fill the bag for $12" thing so that cuts down on the laundry users.

PunkiC Posted June 1, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 1, 2006 What's the "fill the bag for $12" thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpeedo Posted June 5, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Once of twice during a cruise, depending on the length or the cruise, you are given a paper laundry bag and they will launder as much as you can fit in there for $12. You would be amazed at how much I can squeeze in there:eek: ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimVrhovac Posted August 25, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2006 We do the one bag per night for about $40.00 for a 7 day cruise. It is nice to come home with all clean clothing and not have to spend a day doing laundry or spending a day at the laundramat... Besides she makes me do the laundry if I do not pay for the laundry deal..... Jim & Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcaCandy Posted September 21, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2006 How is the internet service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfies Posted September 24, 2006 #8 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I was informed there is no internet access on Veendam, although they are supposed to have it set up by end of year . . . does anybody else know anything more concrete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcaCandy Posted September 24, 2006 #9 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I spoke to HAL a couple of days ago, as I had a sales call from an email solicitation that I had responded to, and there is internet access. It's spendy. I think the best package is $100 for 240 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
