Self-Service Laundrys

[AllAboard]

Do any of the NCL ships still have a room where you can iron/press something? Although we have never used the actual laundry machines, we have used the rooms for ironing. Thanks.

The self serve laundrys are gone. Many passengers hogged the washers and dryers, using them unattended, causing much grief when others dumped their clothes on the floor. That is one head ache NCL doesn't have any more.

 

You can ask your room steward for one of the crew's irons and boards for a short period of time. Better would be to use the ship's first day special for pressing from the ship's laundry/cleaner service. I believe its one dollar per piece.

 

Some don't pack correctly either. Here is a short video describing how to pack in bundles to provide for a cushioning effect to cut down on wrinkles....

We'll be taking a 14 day cruise; do they run a laundry special half way through the cruise?

[Don Haynes]

Usually there is one midway through a one week cruise. I would think there would be either at least one midway through a two week cruise or two specials midway through both weeks. I have never been on a two week cruise, its gotta be either one or the other. Read the Freestyle Daily for the sale.

On my 13-day cruise last October, there was a "fill-the-bag "laundry special twice during the cruise.

The Gem had self-service laudromats back in January.

They had been closed by the time I was on the Gem's March 7 cruise. The hotel director told me the Gem was the last NCL ship to to close them.
