Are there coin-operated washing machines on Royal Caribbean ships?
If you packed quarters for a guest laundry room, put them back in the sock drawer. Royal Caribbean does not have coin-operated washers or dryers or self-service laundry facilities for guests. That is fleetwide. Need something washed? Royal Caribbean offers fee-based laundry and dry-cleaning service instead. Your stateroom attendant can provide the laundry bag and form, and you send the clothes out rather than spending your afternoon feeding quarters into a machine. There are sometimes laundry specials during the cruise, and Crown & Anchor loyalty benefits can include laundry perks at higher tiers. Check the current onboard laundry information for your sailing rather than assuming last year's deal still applies. Pack clothes that mix and match, bring enough for the trip without packing your entire closet, and leave the laundromat mindset on land. Your vacation wardrobe can travel lighter when you are not budgeting suitcase space for detergent and quarters.
- No coin-ops. No guest laundry rooms. Not on any ship.
- Your quarters stay on shore. The washers do too.
- Dirty clothes still have a plan: hand the bag to your attendant, and read the Onboard laundry FAQ for how it works.
