Cruise Ship Laundry Hacks 🧺 | Costs, Broken Dryers, & Must-Have Essentials! Whether you're cruising full-time or just on a week-long getaway, laundry onboard can be a hassle — but not with these tips! In this video, I’ll share everything you need to know about doing laundry on a cruise ship, including: ✅ Current pricing for washers & dryers (coin-operated vs. MedallionPay) ✅ What to do when the dryer is broken — and how to avoid laundry room chaos ✅ When to do laundry when the ship is quiet (hint: port days are GOLD!) ✅ Laundry must-haves: Tide To-Go, washer sheets, and more ✅ How to locate the laundry rooms and whether they supply detergent 📌 BONUS: Get my favorite cruise laundry day hacks that seasoned cruisers swear by! * Make friends with the person doing laundry in front of you and ask them to message you 5 minutes before their load is done for you to be the next in line. We did this on our last cruise and even gave them some laundry sheets as they were all sold out in the machine. * Set a timer and run to the gym, grab some food, relax in your room, get some sun, etc. as your loads are washing and drying. My advice is to set the time 5 minutes in advance so that the machine doesn't finish and someone moves your clothes and then adds theirs in front of you as I have seen this happen in the past. * Both washer loads (I like to do one for whites/lights and one for darks) can usually fit in one dryer to save some money and time. * Laundry is free for elite status, however, it can sometimes take days to get your laundry back. I have been able to either get free coins form guest services or have them remove the medallion laundry charges when I've done my own laundry. This may not be a big deal for a shorter cruise, but this can really add up to a lot of money when living full-time on cruise ships! 📦 Pack smarter, cruise cleaner, and enjoy fresh clothes without the drama. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛍️ Shop My Cruise Essentials (Amazon Storefront) From cabin must-haves to travel gear I use living full-time on cruise ships — these are my go-to items. → https://www.amazon.com/shop/livingoncruisecontrol (As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💌 Cruise Control Postcards Receive a real handwritten postcard from the cruise ships and ports I visit around the world.
