Passenger Questions

Q. We are confirmed on STAR Princess for Alaskan cruise beginning June 8. What are the laundry/dry cleaning facilities available?

A. Thank you for your question. The last time we were aboard the Star Princess in 2004, a laundry room was located on every passenger deck, open 24-hours and equipped with a few coin-operated washers and dryers. A coin-operated detergent dispenser along with an iron and ironing board were also available. The laundry was busy during the hours of 8 am – 7 pm, especially on sea days towards the end of the cruise. Folks tend to forget about their clothes making folks wait hours to use the machines. Sometime passengers took clothes out of the machines and tossed them aside. Our group did laundry two times during our 2-week cruise and found the laundry room fairly quiet during the dinner and show times. Just don’t leave your clothes unattended for long during the peak times.

Dry cleaning services are available. Contact your cabin steward for information after you board the ship.
