Creator's Key Takeaways

On some cruise ships, there is a laundry room that you can use freely, while on others, there are laundry services.

Such a bag might cost $20, $25, or $30 to wash that amount of clothes.

In my opinion, that's very worthwhile and something to keep in mind when you go on a cruise so you can come home without any dirty laundry.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the ship's laundry room or services instead of doing laundry in port.
Look for special laundry bag deals mid-cruise for cost-effective washing.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

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.
