Steps
Check your cabin deck plan or ask guest services where the self-service laundry room is. On Princess ships it is usually a small room off the passenger corridor on your cabin deck.
Carry your washing down in a bag and sort light and dark clothes before you load a machine. Keep it to one small load so you leave machines free for other passengers.
Do not leave your clothes sitting in a washer or dryer once the cycle ends. Empty the machine straight away so the next person can use it.
Pay for the washer with a token bought through your Princess Medallion or the MedallionClass app. The charge goes on your onboard account, so you do not need coins or cash.
Add detergent and start the wash. Bring your own pods or powder in a sealed bag in case the room only has a dispenser.
Pick a quiet time to do this, such as early morning or late evening. Sea days and the hours before dinner are the busiest, so you may have to wait for a free machine.
Move your clothes to a dryer as soon as the wash finishes and set a timer on your phone. Stay nearby or come back a few minutes before the cycle ends.
Fold your clothes in the room and carry them back to your cabin. Wipe the surface and leave the room as you found it.
Tips and common mistakes
Book your laundry slot around port days, when most passengers are off the ship and the room is empty.
Take a few dryer sheets or a mesh bag for delicates, as the room may not supply them.
Never leave your washing unattended for a long time, as other passengers need the machines and items can be removed.
Questions
Do I need coins or cash for the laundry on a Princess ship?
No. On MedallionClass ships you buy tokens with your Medallion or the app, and the cost is charged to your onboard account.
How long does a wash and dry take?
Plan about an hour. Each cycle runs roughly 30 minutes, so stay close by and set a timer.
Can I iron clothes in the laundry room?
Many Princess laundry rooms have an iron and ironing board you can use. Check the room on your deck or ask guest services.
