Carnival Glory Laundry Room Costs: Understanding the Costs of Laundry on Carnival Glory

The Carnival Glory cruise ship offers several convenient self-service laundry rooms for guests who wish to wash, dry, or iron their clothes during their voyage. Understanding these laundry room costs is helpful when planning your cruise and packing your luggage. As of 2024, using the Carnival Glory’s laundry facilities generally comes with the following costs:

1. Washing Machine: $3.50 per load
2. Dryer: $3.50 per load
3. Laundry Detergent & Softener: $2.00 per single-use box (detergent and softener are available in vending machines)
4. Iron & Ironing Board: Free to use (irons are secured in each laundry room and must be used within the room for safety reasons)

Payment is typically made using your Sail & Sign card at the laundry room’s machines, making it cashless and convenient. If you have a tight packing plan or wish to maintain your favorite outfits throughout your cruise, these facilities are extremely useful.

Drawing from my experience as an interior designer, thoughtful cruise ship design always factors in practical needs like laundry access to improve guest comfort. Strategically placing the laundry rooms on several decks ensures convenience and reduces crowding—a subtle, yet impactful element contributing to overall stateroom satisfaction. If you’re planning your next cruise and weighing your options, exploring room layout and functionality tools often gives insights into how efficiently available amenities—like laundry rooms—are incorporated into your cabin arrangements.

Tips 1:

Consider doing your laundry during off-peak hours (late evenings or early mornings) to avoid waiting for machines, as these laundry rooms can get busy, especially during longer sailings.
