love_the_sea Posted September 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I see launderettes on the deck plan for Maasdam and am wondering if they really are still there. It does appear that no changes have been made to this ship in the past couple of years. I am going to be on a 32 day cruise so it would be nice to be able to do my own laundry and to have access to an ironing board. Thanks I did a search and turned up some results but the latest was 4 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveling Dot Posted September 30, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I was just on the Maasdam in June/July and yes there are launderettes. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted September 30, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 30, 2017 All the S & R class ships (of which Maasdam is one) and Prinsendam have laundries. Yes, there is self laundry on board. Soap is supplied - just bring your own dryer sheets (if you use them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMLincoln Posted September 30, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Having used irons in several of HAL's launderettes, I advise you use a pressing cloth to avoid possible stains - a handkerchief usually works well enough for me.. And I find that the launderette on the upper deck might be less busy than the one on Lower Promenade. $2 to wash, $1 to dry; the front desk will make change (quarters). You'll have your clothes back in 2 hours, and you meet some of the nicest people in the laundry! Enjoy, m-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love_the_sea Posted October 1, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Thanks everyone!! Great info! I really appreciate all the "tips" in addition to answering my original question. My travel partner will be especially appreciative. She really didn't want to use HAL's laundry service and while I don't mind, it will be nice to save some money and not have to pack so much on this long cruise!

mysticsailor Posted October 1, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Depending on length of cruise, you can save a lot of steps to and from front desk for change if you take a roll of quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
