Rhapsody transatlantic sailing and laundry

[Biaggio]

One of the websites mentioned, in reviewing the ship, said that there are self service laundromats on board. I haven’t seen them before but they would come in handy on a 14 day crossing.  Could this be true or wishful thinking.? Thanks

RC does not have self service laundry on any ship, with the exception of Serenade which has a few solely for the world cruise and will be removed after that.

 

There is a laundry service though, for a cost.

The only RCL or Celebrity Landry that I know of is the Tide Pods that I take on all of my cruises.  If you have never done it, here is what I do:

1. I drop a Tide Pod in the bathroom sink and fill it with water.
2. I soak my socks, underwear or shirts in the sink.
3. I hand watch them and toss them in the shower.
4. After getting them, all washed, I jump in the shower.
5. I use the shower to rinse them out.
6. I wring them out using the bar in the shower, then I rinse them again and wring them out one last time.
7. I wrap them in extra towels that I got from the cabin steward.  The towel will help pull out the water.
8. Then I hang them up to dry out.
9. If I am in a hurry, I use the hair dryer to dry them.

I do about the same thing.  If I am just washing socks and underwear I just wash them in the shower when I am showering.  Roll in towels after and hang up.  Even on 14 day cruises I rarely have to wash many things.   Just underwear mostly.    I also do not go to the gym.
