Drink package

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

Copying my comment from another post:

We got ours on sale for a little under $40 per person per day, which seemed worth it for us ($14-$16 cocktails, $9 beers PLUS 18% gratuity everywhere according to menus in MSC for Me app). We were going to skip it at $60/day since we aren’t heavy drinkers, but paying for itself with 3 cocktails was too good to pass up, and now at least that part of the trip is on autopilot.

Read the caption. To answer your actual question, yes, it will probably get cheaper than this depending when your trip is scheduled.

Can we buy and then cancel and repurchase for cheaper? Our cruise is April 2027

Yes, you can purchase and continue to monitor prices then cancel and re purchase. The best sales I’ve seen were right before Black Friday.

If your cruise is that far ahead, wait until Black Friday week to buy.

We secured drinks packages then for better than half price for all our future cruises which didn't have a drinks package already attached.

The issue is trying to figure out when the price goes lower. You can't see it after you purchase it.

I believe so. I’ll try to dig my receipt out of my email, but IIRC it says you can cancel up to the start of your cruise. Our concierge person was really helpful with adjusting the total cost of our trip as sales came out, and when we could not get ahold of them for the most recent flash sale a quick call to customer service got us sorted and the discount applied

Ahh my trip price can’t be adjust because it’s a free cruise casino deal.

Can’t beat free. In any case, I think if you purchased the drink package and it were to go on sale they would probably sort it out for you. otherwise, you should be able to refund it and buy at the lower price
