Coin operated laundry on the Wonder.

[Tazzybear14]

It took my husband and I many cruised to realize that there are coin operated laundry facilities on most of the cruise ships.  Not many and they are usually hidden gem.  "WONDERING" if the Wonder has thenm as well?

Royal Ships do not have self Serve Machines. Though Serenade will have some only for the World Cruise

Sounds like you been on carnival who had them though with mardi gras they stopped. None on mardi gras and her sisters. Too many of us have free laundry. Not much demand for them.

Carnival, Norwegion and DIsney as well.  Ah too bad, love taking some clean clothes home 😞

When did the free laundry benefit start for everyone? Sounds awesome. 

 

I ask jokingly. There are cruisers that do not have this benefit yet.😉

the older carnival ships do still have coin operated laundry  like the magic, dream, miracle, glory, etc, etc

There are no longer any coin operated laundry facilities on Norwegian (NCL) ships.  They had them many years ago, but they were removed a long time ago too.

One of the things we will try to track down when we are on Serenade for the month of November.

But, you can still do a fill-a-bag offer to get essentials cleaned, as needed.

Just off Serenade last weekend.  I asked our room steward where they were putting the new laundry area, he wasn't sure where or when it would be installed.

We are on Serenade from 11/7 through 12/5, and the world cruise starts four days after we get off, so they have to be installed by then.

I suspect you will see a lot of renovations being done on your sailings to get the ship ready.

 

The first day we boarded serenade on 9.12 they were replacing the coolers with mini refrigerators.   Boy. They sure are mini.  Barely fit 3 bottles of water, no way to fit wine or a small plate with desert. 

I think Someone goofed on the size ordered.

On my one and only  Princess cruise on the Star  about 15 years ago they had them .

Princess used to have them

We have quite a long list from the world cruisers for things to look for that they were promised. We agree that November will definitely be a shakedown cruise for Serenade. I expect that a lot will be done when she deadheads from Boston to Miami the week before we board on the 7th. Since they put a 4 nighter into the schedule after we get off on 12/5, they should be done in time.

Viking Ocean has free self service laundry and they even provide the soap.

They still do. One $3 token for washer and one for dryer.

most of the clothes we bring on cruises I wouldn’t put in their “free” laundry. Yes, it is a good perk, but only for things like underwear, socks, pjs, maybe a pair of shorts or two and T shirts you don’t mind possibly coming back gray. One time I had a bra come back and the metal clasps were almost melted together. I’m not kidding.. Ive learned to bring things that are hand washable and I wash in the sink….of course this is only for long cruises such as TAs

He clearly was a carnival cruiser whose biggie perk is free laundry, which is why I said even carnival has stopped ...I see a lot of carnival cruiser questions. .. just saw someone ask of red bull counted toward his 15 drink limit.. .. asking on a wonder board. People get them mixed up. 

 

Dont remember when unlimited free laundry is on carnival. 1 bag or maybe more starts like platinum.

They still had them on the Island Princess in May 2023 going through the Panama Canal, and there was a lot of demand for the machines, at least on the deck I was on. Anne

We learned vey early on when we sailed on Disney to never book a cabin on a deck with a laundry room.

Yeah forgot to ask that myself but onboard contractors were running Internet, mattresses and replacing Coolers/Fridges last 3+ wks. Heard lot of metal grinding on port days, not sure where was coming from though

Certainly. 

 

I was responding to the comment about free laundry For almost everybody

[George C]

We get at least one bag of free laundry on rccl and celebrity, I could see laundry room useful on long cruises.
