OK, true confession time. I have no idea how a washing machine works. What I do know is that Joan gets frustrated by the laundry process on cruises (especially when clothes are removed by others before they are finished)and when Mama's not happy, nobody's happy! Susan plans this effort with greater thought than Eisenhower planned D Day!

Thanks for the advice! BTW, we planned to wash everything on the day between the B2Bs - does this work or do all the B2Bers have the same idea?
