Johnny60 Posted October 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Bit confused. Can I get a cocktail on the cheapest drinks package. I know it will be cheap alcohol, but could I say for instance get a Long Island iced tea or would I be better off upgrading.? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Até Posted October 18, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Easy package includes about 20 basic alcoholic cocktails, pretty sure L.I. iced tea was on it. There's a picture of the Easy menu floating around here... someone will probably post it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA I don't know about the pina colada, but if you look further down the menu, there is a "Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri" listed under the Frozen drinks for $10.

Once upon a time I had found a list for the Easy and Easy plus packages. Now I can't find it. I and my family have the Easy Plus and I was wanting to look again to see what was included. Thanks.

Até Posted November 12, 2023 #11 Share Posted November 12, 2023 It's the generic bar menu from US sailings. Page two shows Easy Package drinks and at the bottom it shows the dollar limits of each package. Easy Plus is $10. So $10 would be applied to any of the drinks prices on the subsequent pages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Morgsmom Posted November 13, 2023 #12 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Ok, so here's a conundrum (and not of the wine variety...) theoretically why couldn't you apply the $8 credit on the easy package towards a $7.50 beer so that you are not limited to just Heineken. I see that it says "cocktail, favorite spirit or special glass of wine" but this seems like a fine line to me... Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlchris Posted November 13, 2023 #13 Share Posted November 13, 2023 It says right at the bottom of your image that the discount doesn't apply to beer bottles 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not stupid and it worked on me. Well worth the upgrade if you are a beer drinker and they have a Sports bar with a decent selection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When beer is way more cheaper than liquors and whiskey's - but if you get the Easy Package, you're only getting Heineken... But the beer prices are $7.50 for any other type of beer - but they don't let you do the $8.00 credit towards them... I guess there's a method to their madness..

Of course it doesn't make sense to the consumer because they want the best deal. If you only had to pay the difference, no one would buy the Easy Plus. By not including beer, MSC gets more people to purchase the Easy Plus. Very smart on their end whether the customer thinks so or not. Yes, I hate it too, but there is no way I can drink Heineken for a week, nor can most beer drinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisox021 Posted November 15, 2023 #18 Share Posted November 15, 2023 So the Easy Package... I guess the Spirits they list for Whiskey, Vodka, Rum, Gin, Tequila, Brandy are "Well" quality.. But does anyone know what specific brand do they use? For instance, Vodka.. I've seen anywhere (in bars mind you) from Absolute to Grey Goose in the well.. Also, what Gin? Whiskey?

mtlchris Posted November 18, 2023 #19 Share Posted November 18, 2023 More questions here, since the MSC website is unhelpful ! I'm considering the packages, and with the "8$ off any beverage", I can't see the value in upgrading from easy to easy plus if one does not intend to use the specialty restaurants, or drink beer. An easy plus is 15$ more per day for a 2$ increase in maximum drink price. This means that you need to consume 7 drinks per day just to recoup costs ? Does the "upgrade with 8$ off any drink" thing work in the main dining room as well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseScrooge Posted November 18, 2023 #20 Share Posted November 18, 2023 MSC doesn't have a good track record with keeping all the beers and booze they list on hand. Don't be surprised if the brand you want isn't available even on the first day. Same goes with things like olives, lemon peel, limes, etc... What brand do they use for the well drinks in the easy package? I'm pretty sure they use the cheapest they have at the time. My only YC cruise even had a few so sorry we don't have it replies from the crew. MSC cuts corners in many places but they are the cheapest and that is #1 for me.

Formal_Cruiser Posted November 19, 2023 #22 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Does anybody have experience ordering brand wines by the glass with the easy package in the MDR? Does the discount apply? I mostly drink wine by the glass, and the ones included in the easy package were not very good. Last time I had the easy plus, and we enjoyed the Italian wines recommended in the menus. At the nightclubs we ended up drinking mostly drinks included in the easy package. If the wines would cost only 1-2 $ / € per glass with the easy package I would be completely satisfied with that.

Not sure what whisky. Their well booze was pretty decent. Not Mr. Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpcaruth Posted December 10, 2023 #25 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I enjoy a rum and coke. Any issues with ordering a class of coke and a shot or two of rum on the side with the Easy Package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
