Easy Plus Drink Package Question

[hunnibee72]

I'm a new MSC cruiser,  I Have cruised Royal, Carnival, and NCL. I booked this cruise with Easy Plus Drink package. I was wondering if the package starts when you board the ship, or does it start the second day? I've never cruised with a drink package before and thought I heard something on Carnival that it doesn't start the first day on their line.

It starts as soon as you board!

Thank you!

You’re not limited to a certain number of drinks per day, either, unlike packages on some other lines.  Here’s what’s included in the Easy Plus:

If you want to upgrade to the better PremiumExtra package, it’s best to do it before sailing as it’ll be cheaper than if you wait til onboard.  Here’s what’s included (so you can compare and decide if it’s worth it to upgrade). This covers drinks up to the value of $16 - the package that you have covers drinks up to $10.

Here's a drink menu from my current sailing on the Divina so you can get a sense of the drink prices and whether it is worth it to upgrade to Premium for you. I never have a problem with the Easy Plus covering nearly everything and just pay the price difference on the handful of drinks we might order that are more than $10.
