Part 1 Dollars and Sense
NOT INCLUDED: LAUNDRY It costs $3.50 to wash and $1.25 to dry a load of clothes in the onboard laundry rooms. Detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets are available for $1 each per load. Dry-cleaning is also available for an additional fee; typical pricing is about $6 for a men’s shirt. Garment pressing is available for roughly half the price of dry-cleaning. We consider the prices of dry-cleaning and pressing on board to be pretty good deals compared to the same services on land.
