Laundry Specials?

[jmsnyc]

Does MSC offer laundry specials mid cruise like other cruise lines so you can just book on board or is it better to purchase laundry package in advance?

Not that I saw and I was just on an 11 day Sinfonia and 25 day Seashore in October. 

 

You can purchase laundry packages pre-cruise though in the plan my cruise section on the website.

They offered laundry a special on my transatlantic on the Divina in May, but nothing was offered on my October transatlantic on the Seashore in October. I’m not sure if this is another permanent cutback or unique to the October sailing.

Was also on the same  Seashore TA and with a 25 day itinerary, had hoped for one or two specials.  My cabin sink was just too small to do my trousers and skirts.

So I guess its worth it to prebuy a package?

Probably to be safe. Buying the package before you cruise is definitely cheaper than paying by the piece once on board.

Is it significantly cheaper? Happen to know any onboard rates? We have someone in our party that is concerned about laundry. Thanks

How does pre-buying compare to the Voyager Club discount?
