Pre booking excursions

[mackfam]

I’m sure the MSC website claims that pre booking excursions on the website saves you 20% over prices on board. I’m now on board and the excursion I paid $85 is only $89. Definitely not 20% cheaper!

There is only one excursion that I have seen that saves a lot, and it is at Ocean Cay.  The rest $2-5.  EM

Pre-booking says it saves “Up to 20%”, but in most cases it is less. That is common in advertising for many businesses.

Guess I missed the “up to” part 😢

We had excursions on our last cruise which were well over 20% more expensive when purchased onboard. So, yes some are only up to 20% lower but it may be that they are far more onboard.

But on board they add the 15% service charge. So it should be $107 on board and that would make it exactly 20% cheaper for you.

I didn’t realize they added a service charge to excursions.
