Rare DCGuy64 Posted September 27, 2019 #26 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hi GSC, There are laundry packages on MSC, that you can purchase ahead of time or on board. The packages are based on number of items, and are offered as 10, 20 or 40 items of laundry. There is no offer that resembles what you may have enjoyed on HAL.Just a clarification, the laundry is all done for you for the end of the cruise, correct? At least that’s what the wording on their website seems to indicate. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSmoothieCruiser Posted September 27, 2019 #27 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I have another question, who knew laundry could be so complicated? 😉 When looking at the various packages online, specifically the "BACK HOME CLEAN - 40 PIECES", does this mean you have to send 40 pieces at one time or can you split it over the time of the cruise?

I have the 40 item one booked for our Mera cruise; I'm hoping that, being in YC, I won't have to send everything together. Anyway, I only want some items ironed at the beginning of the cruise; I was able to use our 10 item package in this way on Seaview at the beginning of the month. I'll report back on how I got on.

Sorry, I think I found my own answer in the "fine print": Item allowance must be used all together in a single delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask because it’s more likely I’ll need items ironed at the beginning of (or during) the cruise-by the end I don’t really care if things are wrinkled because I’m going home.

CarolnLarry Posted September 27, 2019 #33 Share Posted September 27, 2019 We have done 4 BTB on MSC and always gotten the 40 item laundry package. We usually send 6 to 8 items at a time till we get to the 40 items. Never have we done 40 items at one time...We send the travel clothes we wore to the ship plus the second day for the first laundry bag, then every couple of days we send a few more. Great service and they do a great job for everything on hangars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr173 Posted September 28, 2019 #35 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Thanks Carol and Bea. I think I can figure it out as we will have 40 piece and YC on our next cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Captain-John Posted September 28, 2019 #36 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Considering getting the 40 piece package - is it cheaper to book online, as with most things, or same price as onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatBan Posted October 2, 2019 #39 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Is it safe to submit a men's suit for ironing only? We have the 40 item package and a big part of it was for wrinkle removal. We are spending a few days in Paris before the cruise and anticipate some wrinkled formal wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, those instructions plainly contradict MSC's other language about it being a one-time deal. Not sure I want risk paying for something that I won't be able to use.

CruisingFox27 Posted October 3, 2019 #44 Share Posted October 3, 2019 A similar description was pasted on another of our roll calls, it states it can be used at anytime too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted October 3, 2019 #45 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I've taken a copy (though, of course, I could be held to what I've posted as that's what's on our tickets) but I don't expect to have any problems due to being in YC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the package for Meraviglia and expect to do the same Yeah ... we had the 10 piece package last month (primarily for ironing - much cheaper than what we used to always do by paying for individual items) and were able to send things out piecemeal. Hopefully we'll have a better butler to deal with than the one we had on Seaview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingFox27 Posted October 14, 2019 #48 Share Posted October 14, 2019 We have laundry packages booked for Meraviglia (20) and Seaside (10), the wording is different for each ship on our tickets. I'll still be hoping to send items separately on our Meraviglia sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted October 14, 2019 #49 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Strange one that, for Meraviglia, it's indicated everything has to go in one (says the same on mine), but not on Seaside. The same wording was on our laundry voucher for Seaview as is yours for Seaside. 🤔 Left hand, right hand etc. 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have booked Splendida YC for March 2021 and have been fortunate (I think) to get Cabin 15001, a larger type YC1. How did Splendida (same itinerary - 14 night no sea day Caribbean) compare to Preziosa ? Is the TSL smaller as deckplan tends to show ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
