Cruise Laundry Secrets: What Most Passengers Don’t Know

Many people don’t know that it’s actually possible to do laundry on cruise ships. Beyond the paid laundry services offered by cruise lines — which can be quite expensive — many cruise ships also have self-service laundromats for guests. These usually include washing machines, dryers, and even ironing boards, allowing you to do laundry at a relatively low cost. In addition, many cruise lines offer special laundry bag deals during the cruise, where the price is not per item but per bag. This can be extremely cost-effective for guests who don’t want to return home with dirty clothes, those continuing their trip after the cruise, or those who traveled before the cruise. Knowing these options means you don’t have to overpack — even for longer cruises or combined trips.
