Question

Is laundry service available on cruises?

Answer 1

yep! but it's ex$pensive (well about the same as a hotel)

Answer 2

If you mean the coffin ships of old............... No !

Answer 3

Yes.  They give you a large mesh bag, and 100 feet of rope.   You put laundry in the bag, and loop one end of the rope through the opening.   You take a big soap tablet, and place it in the bag.  Closing the bag, you hold on to the rope while lowering it over the side of the ship.   The waves created by the ship agitate the bag of clothes.   When you believe that the clothes are clean, simply haul them up.   Wring out your belongings by hand, and place them on the deck to dry.   This activity will serve as a wonderful exercise in family bonding.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Yes and some ships have self service laundries and others do not.  So you have to check or ask to find out which applies.  I think Many Carnival and Princess ships have self service laundries.  And I know that Royal Caribbean and Celebrity do not have self service.  They both have laundry services and you can get it same day for extra  or overnight for regular service.  Regardless, the laundry service on ships is very expensive.  They will charge, for example, $1.00 for socks, about $200 for a "T" shirt, $3.50 for jeans and/or shorts; and $2.50 for shirts and that's for wash and press.

Answer 6

yah it usually is but it depends on what cruise u are on all the decent ones do

Answer 7

yes do it yourself or pay eather way

Answer 8

Yes, and you usually pay for it.  There are also machines/laundry rooms that you can use yourself for a small charge.  You can bring some dry laundry soap in a ziplock bag since sometimes the cost of laundry soap is outrageous!

Answer 9

Yes it is, I'm 12 years old, and when I went on Carnival Cruise line with my grandmother and some more family, they had a laundry service. They will come and pick up the

clothing from the given hamper wash it, bring them back and done. :)

Answer 10

Yes but for a fee.

Answer 11

Answer 12

yes, they can do regular laundry, ironing or dry cleaning. The ships also have a do it yourself laundry room with coin operated machines. Big tip, if you use these bring your own soap and do it very early in the morning or while the ship is in port.
