Toffeegirl68 Posted January 28, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2008 We have been notified of an upgrade from D5 to D6. (Hurrah!) Our 'new' cabin is 6255 which, on checking the deck plan, is near but seemingly not quite next to, the laundry room. We don't tend to hang about in our cabin so are not sure that it will be a problem. Has anyone had a cabin next to or near a laundry room? Is this likely to drive me mad? :eek: Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milkcow Posted January 28, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2008 We were one door down and across the hall from the laundry San Francisco to Southampton 2006: we thought it would be handy. Noise was not a problem, but as soon as each segment group boarded, they "claimed" the laundry as a social spot with baskets stacked in the hall, lines out and down the hall, and, if you did not constantly monitor your batch, it was out in the hall also! We finally realized the day before major port days were light laundry days, and could catch a washer empty while coming going to our room: otherwise we just decided there were more important things to do than laundry! But proximity was no problem: just a bunch of people to squeeze by and catch snippets of horrendous rumors: just like on the internet!

henleycruiser Posted January 28, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I wish we were a bit CLOSER to the laundry - it's a ten minute walk along deck 8 for us! It's also a very sociable place - so, yes, if people are hanging around chatting, you'll get to hear all they're business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffeegirl68 Posted January 29, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thank-you for your replies. I will file my worries under: No issue...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannp Posted February 19, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The laundry rooms are generally open 7:30 am to 9 pm. Sometimes they can be very busy and they are a great place for meeting new people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffeegirl68 Posted February 19, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Judging from Malcolm's comments on his QE2 World Cruise 'blog', I think that I could be on for a treat being so close to the action :p . I might take my whistle along in case there's a need for a bit of refereeing! (3 months to go!!) J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgsmuzzy Posted February 19, 2008 #8 Share Posted February 19, 2008 J, Remember that QE2 has one big laundry, QM2 has several smaller rooms, so the social side is not there as much. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyWarbucks Posted February 19, 2008 #9 Share Posted February 19, 2008 ...and you could take in laundry to help defray the cost of the trip.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffeegirl68 Posted February 19, 2008 Author #10 Share Posted February 19, 2008 ....but no ironing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayleur Posted February 20, 2008 #11 Share Posted February 20, 2008 J, Remember that QE2 has one big laundry, QM2 has several smaller rooms, so the social side is not there as much. J I checked out the laundry room on the QM2 the other day and it only has 3 sets of washer/dryer combos -- definitely different from the QE2 where there's about 12 or so washer/dryer sets, plus a separate room that has 8 ironing boards. I agree that the QE2 could be a social setting, although I have heard of fights that start also. I even saw Malcolm there ironing last Jan 08 transatlantic!

lexxity Posted February 20, 2008 #12 Share Posted February 20, 2008 On the QM2 there are laundry's on most decks, not just the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelgardens Posted February 20, 2008 #13 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I have oftened wondered why a server does not visit for Bloody Mary orders. Love that Laundry Room with its cliques. I was 2 cabins down from 6 deck laundry in 2006...never heard a thing. But did beat all the others to the washers.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warringtonian Posted February 21, 2008 #14 Share Posted February 21, 2008 After trecking up and stairs several times trying to find an empty machine I would have paid extra to be next to the laundry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimsgirl Posted February 23, 2008 #15 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Very pleased to read this posting, I too have just had the "next to laundry room" upgrade (D8 to D6 on QM2 Deck 5). I had wondered if there would be noise, but seems as though that is not likely to be a problem. Find it amusing that travelling solo I now have a room that sleeps 4, assume tht will mean MORE closet space, now all I need is the airline to increase the luggage allowance.!

keela1eva2 Posted February 24, 2008 #16 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I also have had an upgrade from origionally a D4 to a D1 both of which were deck 6 midship I have now been upgraded to a C2 ocean view room but this if very much forward on the ship. I am wondering about noise or perhaps more vibration as it is on deck 4. I have pretty good sea legs these days but I am also thinking about how much movement there would be in stormy sea conditions. I am off on Wednesday 27th NY and then on board on the 29th. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
