As this is my first cruise of more than 1 week, it will also be the first one on which I plan to avail myself of the launderette. What is the size of the machines? Full loads? What hours is it open? I tend to be an early riser (though heaven knows if that will hold true when I'm in a place 13-14 hours ahead of my usual body clock), so am hoping to beat the crowds. I'm thinking I'll want to do it the day before we hit Beijing, but I suspect that everyone else who is taking the Xian trip will want to do the same.
