Gig103 Posted May 11, 2016 #176 Share Posted May 11, 2016 How were the drink prices on MSC? MSC drink prices (in the Med, I haven't been in the Caribbean with them) were a lot more affordable than RCCL. Packages are a lot less expensive too. For a few quick examples: Frozen drinks (daiquiris, pina colada) MSC = €8 + 15% = €9.2 (about $10.50) RCCL = $12 + 18% = $14.16. Can Soda MSC = €2.30 + 15% = $2.65 RCCL = $2.95 + 18% = $3.48 MSC also offers more drink options such as prepaid coupon books that can be shared by cabin-members and include the gratuity. MSC drink packages are cheaper too, although everyone in the cabin needs to buy them. Outside the Caribbean, MSC drink packages were under €30/person/day on board but that might have been a special.

jsydanma Posted May 11, 2016 #177 Share Posted May 11, 2016 About the drink prices. We did last summer med cruise with MSC Preziosa and we bought the allegrissimo drink package for 26€/day. It included all cocktails (also frozen) and even ship made gelato and speciality coffes. Not bad at all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AACJ Posted May 12, 2016 #178 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) I wonder if MSC would match ALL of my points, not just RC or Carnival, adding them up together. Edit, should have read through their site a little better: <<If a guest has benefit cards with multiple companies, he/she will have to choose which card to use to take part in the promotion.>> Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Edited May 12, 2016 by AACJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It included all cocktails (also frozen) and even ship made gelato and speciality coffes. Not bad at all :) That was the price in the med for us too, but according to the MSC website, Caribbean packages are $44/day. Still cheaper than RCCL.

ckfred Posted May 13, 2016 #186 Share Posted May 13, 2016 How long did it take MSC to process your request to match your RC status. I filled out the form on-line around April 20th, and I haven't heard back. I've received the "Welcome to MSC" e-mail and e-mails detailing sales and other promotions, but nothing about Voyagers Club. I couldn't find my C&A membership card, but I did include an e-mail from RC showing my name, C&A account number and Emerald status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had been having a problem with the web form losing the data entirely and people were calling and sending the info direct by email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was playing around on their website last night, their website is worse than Royals. :eek::eek: I didn't think it was physically possible.

Gig103 Posted May 21, 2016 #191 Share Posted May 21, 2016 That is difficult to imagine. Royal's website is better than Celebrity too, in my experience. MSC is atrocious. I couldn't even log in to look at shore excursions until after final payment. And I booked direct, not through a TA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig103 Posted May 21, 2016 #192 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Oh and I wanted to add - it wasn't that shore excursions were broken, my login never worked! Even when my MSC vacation planner sent me a link and an account to use, it never worked until after final payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
