Upgrade your cruise for barely anything!
You’ve snagged the perfect cruise for a great price. But now it’s time for the upgrades. Most cruises charge extra for just about everything, from the soda package to the window in your room to the Internet. Still, there are a few secret ways to get a free (or low-cost upgrade) that aren’t advertised. We discovered these little tricks by cruising on just about every cruise line.

Laundry is not free on Emerald Princess Also not free on Coral Princess. Soap is not provided for free, either. Congestion and competition around the machines is intense. (I was on the Emerald Princess from Jan17-Feb 16 this year and did laundry 4 times. I assure you, it was not free.)
I was just on the Ruby Princess, laundry was not free. Maybe that is only on some of their ships. I was able to scan my Medallion to get a token, so change was not required.
I just got off the Majestc Princess, literally today, after 26 days onboard. Washers, dryers, & detergent are not free. The only free wahers, etc. that l have ever known about are on Azamara.
Viking Ocean cruise ships have free self-serve washers and dryers on several decks. Includes detergent and irons and boards. On a longer cruise, they tend to be crowded.
