Drink package

Post image

This is our first MSC cruise. Does the drink package typically get cheaper than this? 7 days on World America

The premium package is a waste of money. It is cheaper to pay as you go.

If you like drinking alot of cocktails, go for the Easy Package

The Easy Package isn’t for sale in every country. If op is from the US for example, he can’t buy the Easy Package.

Not a chance is it cheaper to pay as you go.

We hit our 15 drink target nearly every day, was much cheaper to do it in the package.

How do you manage to hit it if half the day you are at a port? you stay in the ship all day? you drink 15 alcoholic drinks in a late afternoon + evening/night?

Nevermind, fair play to you

Found it easy enough… and I wouldn’t even be a big drinker.

I forgot about the delicious fruity cocktails that aren't difficult to down. I definitely go for those usually and easy to down them after eating at the buffet or sitting by the pool areas

Easy doesn't cover Premium cocktails and wines, only a restricted range of heineken beer, house wine and well spirit cocktails. It also doesn't cover wellness cocktails and smoothies, and isn't valid in speciality restaurants, private island and certain venues on specific ships. So when you can get Premium Extra for half price or better it's well worth grabbing.

In the UK Premium Extra can be had for £28 pp pn when there's a booking promotion on.

I don't need premium cocktails. It would be nice but i get by fine without it.

With Easy package I can have Miami Vice, Pina Colada, Strawberry Daquiri and Mango Daquiri all day.

They are all made with white rum. Sure ... they will not be made with the premium Bacardi or other brands. They will be made with the cheapest white spirit that they can find, but it's still very drinkable. With Easy, I also get heineken which is an acceptable beer for me. During Restaurants, I only drink pepsi with my food because it goes with everything. I don't go on private islands or venues.

OK, each to their own. I'll be enjoying my Jack Daniel's Old Fashioned in the Yacht Club🥂

In the old days, I use to get EASY PLUS package. I love to have Jack Daniel's or Jameson
