The size of the drink gets smaller as the cruise goes on if you are drinking top shelf.

Montepulciano or Cabernet (wine brands might be subject of change), mineral water,

soft drinks, beer





SELF SERVICE BUFFET: wine by the glass - white DOC Trebiano or Verduzzo / red

water, soft drinks, beer

in my opinion, for only £33 per night, it isn't expensive... you can drink all that you want :D

I must disagree, for a 8 night cruise it would cost 2 x £33 and 2 x £19 per day, thats £832 just for drink!! no value at all, in my opinion.

[Massich]

But it depends if you love drinking or not... :D

 

in your attachment (where did you find it? :D) there're 18 drinks packages not only one :p

[Capricruiser]

Seems like for some people a cruise is nothing more than a day by day drinking spree! Slow down guys!

[dcd777]

Lol, I must confess I do like a drink, if you could buy the premium package as and when you wanted it, it would be great value. However seeing MSC insist you have it for the duration of your cruise and remember everyone in your cabin must have the same package MSC are encouraging alcoholism or banking on people not going overboard (excuse the pun) with their drinking.

:D :D :D "...encouraging alcoholism..."

 

...are msc cruises encouraging even the alcohlism? :p :eek: :eek:

It really boils down to what you like to drink, how much and when, whether the drinks packages work for you.

 

The all inclusive doesn't work for me as I like to order different wines from the wine list and don't drink enough of anything else to justify the £33 per day cost. The unlimited beer and wine at meals also doesn't work for me. However I do like the individual packages that you can buy onboard. I invariably get a water, vitamin drink and cocktails one. I csn udse them whenever I want and save a bit of money by doing spo. It also makes checking my bill that much easier with just one charge for nearly all my drinks rather than lots of individual charges.

 

Daresay that there will be those who will abuse the all inclusive and severely over indulge but after 12 cruises with them, I can honestly say that whilst I've observed the odd passenger who should have stopped a few drinks back, it really isn't a general problem onboard.

A couple of coffees with breakfast, a few bottles of water ,tea or coffee at 11 it soon adds up,once we had worked out what is and isnt included we found the all inc package good value ps the choccie drinks are to not to be missed
