jennmaybe Posted August 8, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'm confused. When I booked our cruise last week for Oct 2019, the rep told me that the Drinks-on-us is going to be the same as the classic package. However, when I look at the list, they are 2 separate categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's frustrating when you're trying to pin down exactly what's included in your booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstrutton Posted August 8, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Thanks for the info. Under the 12 free drinks, do we still get charged the 15% service fee or that included? Also, is there a difference in the pricing if we switch over from the 12 free drinks to Drinks on us package. Just wondering if it is worth the difference to transfer over.

Jay Not sure who your post is directed at, Jay, but I'll answer as best I can. I don't know much about the 12 drinks vouchers, but I don't think there is a 15% service charge incurred when using them. I also don't think that you can choose to switch from the vouchers to the 'Drinks on Us' package - you'll receive whichever MSC has included in your booking. You can't upgrade from the vouchers - well, you can purchase a drinks package (though not the 'Drinks on Us' one) but you won't be able to offset any value from the vouchers as they don't have any monetary value.

Janedoe2012 Posted August 9, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Jay the vouchers given for Fantasica package do not have a surcharge ( didn’t on Divina last Nov). We were able to use them for specialty coffees and gelato as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnTTT Posted August 9, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 9, 2018 It's very confusing and the Beverage Comparison sheet doesn't show the Drinks on Us program. We just upgraded to the Deluxe program for $ 26 per day (7 days) per person because: my husband likes better wines that the 2 red/2 white choices would probably include. And I like the silly frothy umbrella drinks when on a cruise. And I like fancy coffee occasionally. And we like Gelato and that chocolate bar looks cool. And, it doesn't seem so bad when you realize the $ 26 includes tips whereas the Drinks program you'll get charged 15% each time. Maybe you wouldn't have to sign each time, but if you did I'd go crazy. And we're on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWolf Posted August 9, 2018 #16 Share Posted August 9, 2018 It's very confusing and the Beverage Comparison sheet doesn't show the Drinks on Us program. The Drink on Us package is shown in column 1 in the comparison sheet (link in answer #5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirWolf Posted August 14, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 14, 2018 What's the diff between "Drinks on us" and the 12 drink vouchers???? The 12 drink vouchers are for 12 drinks and the “Drink on us” package is basically for “unlimited” drinks... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're still required to sign when you have a drinks package, we always have anyway but the receipt has a zero balance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
