There is no laundromat so don't know how you got prices. I don't think you have been on any other RC ships.

The radiance class is our favorite size of ship. It’s large enough to have everything we need and easy to get around. We prefer ships that have not been turned into water and amusement parks.

Royal Caribbean doesn't have laundry facilities on any ship for guests. We were on Allure and they don't have a USB for photos either. Those seem like very minor issues. We loved Radiance and that entire class of ships.
