MS Serene Seine River Cruise

Do the riverboats have any laundry facilities or do they provide laundry services onboard?

    Yes, all Tauck river cruise ships provide laundry services. Not cheap but fast and convenient.

    Just a small point. Ships are not “it”. Ships are “her”. Even military ships that are ‘men of war’, they are referred to as ‘her’. All ships are female.

    Funny, more modern language “it” is used for ships. Also, ship in French is masculine. I’m sticking with “it”, but thanks for trying to correct a very small, old, quant point.

    The name of the ship makes no difference. I landed on eleven aircraft carriers. The first four were named after battles in the American revolution. Most of the rest were named after male politicians. They were all “her”.Going back in history ships were named after goddesses, Thats why they are all female. The French of course do their own thing, but the name “Le” does not make them male. Your ship was your protector. That made her a ‘her’.

    Thank you for your service.

    You are welcome. It was actually very much like MASH. It was 90 percent fun, and ten percent not fun. MASH actually started before the end of Vietnam, We used to watch it in what we called a club in Danang.

    The infantry is said to be 99% boredom and 1% terror.

    (the saying goes back perhaps as far and the Civil War, maybe earlier.)

    We are on the London Paris trip on Sapphire on April 27. The next trip on May 10 is on Serene. After that they kind of alternate. Cruise Mapper says she has a cruise out of Paris on April 8th.
