2000 Crew Members and 20 Laundry Machines
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator describes the logistical challenges of managing personal laundry while working on a massive cruise ship. Because the crew lives in the back of the vessel and the laundry facilities are located at the very front, the walk requires navigating through various crew and guest areas, including the crew buffet. This journey can take up to six minutes through a maze like environment. With over 2,000 crew members on board, the number of available washing machines is limited, which can lead to crowded conditions. The creator notes that they attempt to do laundry during the day while others are working to avoid the busiest times. A significant issue mentioned is crew members leaving their clothes in machines for extended periods. To keep the machines available, the creator explains the necessity of moving unattended laundry into baskets. While the service itself is free for the crew, they are responsible for purchasing their own detergent, which the creator notes is inexpensive.

considering that there's over 2,000 crew members on the ship there's not a ton of washing machines so it can get really crazy down at the laundry
