Happy traveller8

Hi Beamafar,  thank you for your reply . Well that’s a bit of relief really , our wives getting a bit stressed about what to pack etc.  I’m sure there is plenty of other entertainment on board !!  Ps I have noticed you are a great help to others cruisers also . Well done. 

Hi all. After writing my first ever post re MSc new drinks packages I was overwhelmed by the brilliant response , so thank you

all.  My next question....... Theme nights . Cruising on Fantasia in May from Palma 7 nights over to Italy / France back to Palma . Gala nights we are ok with,  know it’s not that formal. White night... think got that covered.  What other theme nights are there?  We understand you do not find out until the night before, not great for your pre cruise packing is it??  

Q ..do many people get involved in the other theme nights?  (Oh and Italian night think we got that covered also !)   So my question relates to any other theme night . Also thinking 3 theme nights may be enough?  Would love your thoughts.  Thanks all,  look forward to all your experienced help once again. 

If you check out this post from another topic ,  it is from a cruiser who said this card was placed in the bars.  It’s a comparison list for old and new packages! 

Hope this helps all.

Royc.... brilliant info . That was the same chart showing when we originally booked ( we chose Aurea and upgraded to deluxe package at the time of booking )  med cruise in May on Fantasia.   They don’t have that chart on the site anymore of course.  Printed out and  thank you l ! 

Apparently the old deluxe drinks package is in between the new premium and premium plus.   It stil has the mini bar, premium drinks , room service food ,  seems the new plus package also includes connoisseur Brandys.  We have printed off what the old deluxe package included and it will be with us onboard!  I suggest anyone who is in doubt as to what they will receive after the package changes do the same . 

Yes MSC have been very quiet on what the new 2019 drink package changes are compared to the older 2018 packages . We have done plenty of research on the Internet and people on here have been very helpful. The  MSC site does not show the differences . and  have kinda hidden the old package contents. But.... It is looking like you will receive exactly what you originally booked . We have 3  emails from MSC via our cruise agent who has also had the run around from MSC.  The mails confirm we will be on the package we booked and honour them.   If that’s the case we’re happy.  And yes the code on your booking should identify what package you are on . ...fingers crossed! 

Brilliant ...our booking says 421 ! Thanks  again . 

Thank you all !!!  It is much clearer now , especially the info about the connoisseurs selection ! We do not expect that selection but just what we originally booked.  So much happier about our booking.  What a great bunch of people you are!  Cheers! 

Ps ... thank you Ken regarding the code number , will see if it’s the same on Fantasia , But made a note of it ! 

Hi All,  last August we booked a Med cruise for this May on MSC Fantasia. Booked the aurea experience and upgraded to the ‘deluxe drinks package ‘.  Come 2019 we find out that the packages have been rebranded.  Does anyone know what the deluxe drinks package has become ? We are getting mixed reviews and answers from everywhere!  We think it should be the new ‘premier plus’ as this new package has all what the deluxe package had.  Anyone know the correct answer or had the experience already ? Thank you in advance .
