Pacific Dawn - Self Serve Laundromat?

[sailingmum]

The p&o brochures only talk about sending your laundry away to get done. But I was just looking at the deck plans today, and there is a "self serve laundromat" marked there. Can you do your own laundry there? Anyone know how much? Being able to do a load of washing might change the way I pack...

There are several self serve laundromats on various decks.

It is a $1 coin to wash and a $1 coin to dry.

You can fit almost 2 washing loads in a dryer as they as so bug.

They run on 45 min cycles.

We did our laundry regularly and had no trouble with availability of machines:)

Hi Sandi

There are two laundrys on Pacific Dawn one on deck 11 and one on deck 5 the washings machines / dryers and soap powder are all $1 each.

 

Be careful with the temperature though i put a coloured wash on warm and all the colours ran as it was so hotactually ruined a couple of tops, the dryers are very good and will dry a complete load for $1.

Hope that helps

Thanks for your replies. From the paper work I was sent I thought they only had the hotel style laundry service which costs a mint. Great to know!

[Gratz]

a quick question - so the machines need coins? Use of them is not linked with your cruise card?

Have just returned from Pacific Dawn. WAshing machines & dryers are $3.00 and take only $1.00 coins. Powder, conditioner $1.00 each.

Oh P&O have put the price up since may this year. We only paid $1.00 for each load.

 

They also have a laundry special usually offered twice (10 night cruise) where you can get 20 items washed & ironed for $25. A bargain for any mum who wants to have the ultimate relaxing holiday experience....we just put in the stuff that needed washing mainly shirts & jeans :D

Is that a cross between big & huge?;) :)

 

The laundry is excellent on the Dawn. So much so that we specifically booked a cabin near it for our next cruise so I can pack lighter. I figured that as a family for 17 nights there was no way I was going to get through without washing.

We used the laundry last time, but the powder wasn't too good. This time we're taking a little bottle of washing liquid with us.

They definatley must have put the prices up we were there in August and it was only $1, thats a bit of a jump!

[gizzigoo]

They usually do offer it, last time on the PD I was waiting for the wash deal and I missed it. Jo said she read it, but I never did find it.

I't usually about mid way through on a port day.

I'll say! I'm sure I only paid $1 each for the washing machine, the dryer and for the detergent.

We had the same deal on the Sun last year so I assume it's still running :D

[oysterfiend]

The dryers are big and whether $1 or $3 it was excellent value for 45 mins

I don't know whether you are referring to me or OP but if you read my profile you'd realise that I am female.

Why even comment on me being Kiwi:confused:

sorry for the confusion I caused.

I meant absolutely no malice and I truly hope that no distress or upset was caused by my words.

My post was directed at Skyrules though, who I knew would read the post in the manner in which it was written( Light hearted)

 

My apologises again Oysterfiend and yes I do realise you are female
