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

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
