Easy Beverage plan question

[rwdtgb]

We booked the Armonia with this package included. We can drink simple drinks like Vodka and cran or a prosecco. Should we stick with this plan or upgrade? Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.

We were allowed to upgrade last month from "Drinks on Us" to "Classic" pre-cruise Divina for $18pppd, however our next cruise on Seaside appears only to allow upgrades to "Premium" at a much higher cost, so we are going to stay with "Easy" and try it out.  Supposedly the 15% gratuity is now included with Easy, where before it was extra with Drinks on Us.

Do They still do the Drink on us or have They change Drink on us to Easy...

[Epos Man]

drinks on us is the equivalant to the new easy without the 15%

a lot depends on what you want to drink we like the mojitos and frozen cocktails which are not included on the easy package

Has anyone used the easy drinks package yet could comment on what wines are available and are they any good?

Not tried them but my understanding is it's one house red and one white house wine, I doubt it will be too great.

We booked with Fantastica, which included a book of 12 coupons for each passenger. That was enough for us, so we didn't use a drink package at all. If you have Fantastica, you might be able to do the same. We were restricted to drinks under $9 or $10 (depended on the server).

Easy now replaces the "Drinks on Us" package, which while not the best, will be adequate for us now that the next upgrade is Premium at $27pppd.  MSC house wines are palatable, the draught Heineken is good, and the spirits and mixed drinks are adequate.  Missing are the liquers and cordials, as well as the frozen drinks which we will order a la carte rather than pay the $378  upgrade.  The house chardonay on Divina in December was Canti, but they tend to change depending on  the bar managers selection.

Will it mean that Our Drink On us in april on MSC Seaside now Will Be the Easy package.

Do We still have to pay the 15 % extra every time We order a drink?

[neptuno]

Good question, if you call MSC you will get a different answer each time.

[Preziosa]

Has anyone tryed asking aboard what happen with the drink on us package.

How does it work in Real life and not on the MSC Office...

[Epos Man]

if you had the deal with drinks on us then you stay with the drinks on us so pay the 15%

This has nothing to do with a drink package.  Does anyone by chance have a copy of the beverage menu as well as specialty coffee menu  with prices.   for Europe. 

 

Thanks  not interested in packages.
