MSC laundry

[moveup]

We're taking an 11 night cruise on MSC Orchestra, which has no self-service laundromat. We don't want to take time on port calls to do our own laundry. We are wondering whether to pack enough clothes for the entire 14-day trip, or pay for the ship to launder at least our underwear, sox, hiking and exercise clothes mid-cruise. If anyone has experience with MSC's laundry, please post what you recall about the prices, how long it takes to get your clothes back, and if you were satisfied with the quality of the laundering. Posts regarding other ships' laundry include lots of complaints about shrinkage, etc.

Toward The End Of Our 10 Days On The Lirica They Offered Cleaning Of 10 Pieces For $19.50

Wash it in the shower, and wring out, hang on the cord or shower rod, and it will dry in one day. Or if you have a balcony lay it on balcony chair...

I agree with Jsipes. That is what we do, as we save our money for the ports of call.

 

We take one of those twisted clothes lines (no pegs), and a couple of wire coat hangers, which we hang up in the bathroom.

We just returned from the Lirica. Took advantage of the 10 items for $19.99 on the 2nd to last day of the cruise. There is a bag(in the drawer under the vanity in our room anyway) & order/content form to fill out. Just leave it in the room & they will pick it up. Clothes came back the next evening clean, pressed & smelling fresh! Good Luck & enjoy your cruise. MSC is a great line.:p

Hi Moveup,

 

Are you getting excited. Only 16 days to go!

 

Do you know what your doing in ports?

 

I've never been to any of the port but I don't want to take ship excursions except for Alexandria.

 

Any suggestions?
