MSC Cruises drink packages: Prices, inclusions and how to save money on onboard beverages

Gwen Pratesi

A sailaway from port doesn't seem quite as celebratory without a glass of Champagne or cocktail in hand. But if you don't have a drink package for your cruise , ordering these sailaway glasses of bubbly every day — and a glass of wine at lunch and dinner — can add up quickly during a weeklong vacation.

If you're sailing with MSC Cruises , the line offers five options for all-inclusive drink packages, with two for nonalcoholic beverages. If you know you'll be imbibing daily, it might be worth purchasing a drink package rather than buying cocktails a la carte. Also, bottled mineral water, soft drinks, specialty coffees and soft-serve ice cream on some ships (gasp!) are not included in your cruise fare, so you'll have to factor in the additional cost of those beverages — and the beloved frozen treat — along with any alcohol you plan to consume.

For cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

We've broken down the list of MSC Cruises' drink packages to explore which refreshments are (or are not) included and the cost per person, per day. We've also answered the most frequently asked questions to help you determine whether or not a drink package will save you money on your next cruise.

What's included in MSC Cruises' drink packages?

msc cruises drinks package

Here are the details of MSC Cruises' five drink packages. If one passenger books a drink package, all guests traveling together in the same cabin and dining at the same table must also book a package. Beverage packages are not transferable, and you cannot use them to buy drinks for friends.

None of the drink packages include items purchased at the signature venues, which include Venchi 1878 (chocolate, coffee and gelato), Lavazza (coffee), Jean Philippe (chocolate, coffee, crepes and gelato), Starship Club (robotic bartender on MSC Virtuosa) and Hola! Tacos & Cantina.

Minors Package

The Minors Package is for children ages 3 to 17 on European itineraries and ages 3 to 12 in the Caribbean and North America. It must be purchased when underage guests are traveling with adults who've purchased a beverage package.

This package covers a wide variety of nonalcoholic beverages. They include mocktails, fresh fruit and protein cocktails, energy drinks, flavored water, sodas by the glass or bottle, hot beverages (think regular coffee and tea) and soft-serve ice cream. (Note that soft-serve ice cream is complimentary only on MSC ships sailing from the U.S.)

Guests can use the package to purchase drinks in the self-service buffet; the main restaurant; on Ocean Cay , the line's private island; and at bars on the ship. Kids can only use the package in the specialty restaurants if the adults traveling with them have purchased an Easy Plus or Premium Extra package.

Alcohol-Free Package

The Alcohol-Free Package includes the same beverages as the Minors Package, but it's available to purchase for adults (or anyone 13 and older in the Caribbean and North America).

The same restrictions apply regarding where you can (and cannot) use the package on and off the ship.

Easy Package

MSC's Easy Package offers both alcoholic and nonalcoholic options for adult passengers. The list of covered beverages includes select classic or international cocktails; a variety of spirits (vodka, gin, rum, tequila, brandy and whisky); house wines (white, red, rose and sparkling); Heineken on draft or in the bottle (the brand of beer may vary); nonalcoholic cocktails and mixed drinks; fountain or canned soft drinks; fruit juices by the glass or in the bottle; bottled mineral water; and hot drinks such as espressos, cappuccinos, lattes, hot tea and hot chocolate.

You can use the package in the bars, the main restaurant and the buffet, and on Ocean Cay, but not in the specialty restaurants or signature venues.

Easy Plus Package

The next upgrade in MSC Cruises' drink packages is the Easy Plus option, which covers drinks up to $10. The included beverages with the package are a selection of classic and frozen cocktails; protein shakes and fresh fruit cocktails; well spirits, liqueurs and cordials; a variety of bottled and draught beers; mocktails and all nonalcoholic beverages; bottled mineral water; and the hot drinks included in the Easy Package mentioned above.

The Easy Plus Package also provides a selection of wines by the glass and a 10% discount on bottles of wine. You can use this package in the main restaurant, at the bars, in the buffet, on Ocean Cay and in the specialty dining venues. It is not available to use in the signature venues.

Premium Extra Package

If you enjoy Champagne, fine wines and premium spirits, you'll want to splurge on MSC's Premium Extra Package for your cruise vacation.

This package covers drinks up to $16; a wide selection of international and premium cocktails; mocktails and nonalcoholic drinks; premium spirits, liqueurs and cordials; fresh fruit and protein cocktails; a wide variety of draft and bottled beers; bottled mineral water; and classic or specialty hot drinks (Irish coffee, anyone?).

You can also purchase bottles of wine and Champagne at a 25% discount and order fine wines and Champagne by the glass (up to $16). You can use the package everywhere except for the signature venues.

If you've reserved accommodations in the MSC Yacht Club, the line's ship-within-a-ship private enclave, you will automatically receive the Premium Extra Package as part of your cruise fare. You may use it to purchase beverages at the Top Sail Lounge and exclusive restaurant in the Yacht Club and at any of the complimentary or specialty dining venues around the ship.

What are the MSC drink package prices?

msc cruises drinks package

MSC's package pricing is based on the length of the cruise, with longer voyages having a lower price per day. You'll save at least 15% on the price if you purchase the package online before your cruise rather than on board. (The current prices listed below come in at even higher savings.) All gratuities are included in the prices.

The following package prices are per person, per day.

  • Advance purchase: One- to six-night cruise, $21; seven-night or longer cruise, $19
  • Onboard purchase: One- to six-night cruise, $25; seven-night or longer cruise, $22
  • Advance purchase: One- to six-night cruise, $30; seven-night or longer cruise, $28
  • Onboard purchase: One- to six-night cruise, $35; seven-night or longer cruise, $33
  • Advance purchase: One- to six-night cruise, $49; seven-night or longer cruise, $46

For example, a current promotion online has 40% off cruise fares and includes a drink package (the Easy Plus Package), Wi-Fi and up to $400 of onboard credit per cabin, depending on the category booked. You can upgrade the drink package before you sail (at a discounted price) or once on board the ship for full price.

MSC cruise drink packages FAQ

msc cruises drinks package

What happens if I want to purchase a drink that costs more than the package allowance price?

If you want to order a cocktail, glass of wine or spirit that's not included in the package you've purchased, you will only pay the difference in price between the package allowance and the price of your beverage.

Are the drink offerings the same on all MSC Cruises?

You'll find a variety in the selection of beverages and ingredients used to make cocktails, depending on the destination of your MSC cruise and the time of year. If you thoroughly enjoyed one type of wine during your summer cruise in the Mediterranean, you might not be able to order the same wine on board your Caribbean cruise during the holidays.

What is the best time to buy MSC Cruises drink packages?

As I mentioned above, it's best to purchase your drink package online before your cruise for the lowest price. The MSC Cruises website advertises discounts of up to 15% when you purchase in advance of your sailing rather than on board the ship. Once your cruise is booked, you can select the package of your choice for your voyage under the "Manage Your Booking" section.

Are drink packages available on MSC Cruises ships?

Drink packages are available on all MSC Cruises ships, except for vessels sailing to South Africa or China.

Is a drink package included if I book a world cruise?

The line's Dine & Drinks package is included if you're embarking on a world cruise with MSC. The package covers house wines, draft beer, soft drinks and mineral water at the buffet and in the main restaurant during lunch and dinner. This package is only available to guests sailing on the world cruise; it is possible to upgrade the package.

Can you upgrade an MSC Cruises drink package?

Yes, all passengers have the option to upgrade their packages. Before your sailing, upgrades are only available if the package is included in your cruise promotion; the upgrade will be available at a discounted price. Otherwise, you can upgrade your beverage package once you board the ship, but it will be at full price.

Is there a limit on drinks with an MSC Cruises drink package?

The all-inclusive packages do not put a limit on the number of alcoholic beverages, specialty coffees, bottled mineral waters or other drinks you can order each day.

Is an MSC Cruises drink package right for you?

msc cruises drinks package

If you enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail or aperitif, have a glass of wine (or two) at dinner and possibly even splurge on a chocolate martini for an after-dinner drink at the show, a drink package could be a worthwhile investment for your cruise.

Many people also prefer bottled water over the free water available at the dining venues and lattes or cappuccinos over regular coffee in the morning. If that's you, the cost of the individual nonalcoholic and alcoholic beverages can add up quickly during a weeklong cruise. And you could pay a lot more for purchasing a la carte drinks than you would with a beverage package, especially if you plan on ordering fancy wines and specialty cocktails.

For example, if you're on a four-night cruise, the Easy Plus Package will cost you $64 per person, per day, which includes gratuities, for a total of $208. There is no limit to either the nonalcoholic or alcoholic beverages you consume, so if want one or two lattes to start your day, have a glass of wine and bottled water at lunch and have a few bottled waters by the pool, you're probably already at about half of the daily price (or more) of the package if you were purchasing the items individually.

Add to that a pre-dinner drink, a glass of wine or two at dinner with bottled mineral water, and then maybe a cocktail later in the evening, and you're easily past that $64 per day — and you've had to pay gratuities on the bar bills.

Related: Are cruise line drink packages worth the price? What to know before you buy

An advantage of buying one of the two higher-tier packages is the discount on bottles of wine. If you enjoy ordering bottles of fine wine at dinner, then this could be a plus if you have one of the more expensive packages.

If you're cruising in the Middle East, you should know that MSC Cruises will not serve alcohol due to Saudi law while the ship is docked in a Saudi Arabian port. Alcohol will be served again once the ship is sailing in international waters. But if you have a few days in Saudi Arabia, that's something to consider when purchasing a beverage package.

Bottom line

Doing the math is the best way to determine if a drink package makes sense. If you think you'll want all the beverages that come at an extra cost on the ship, then the best option is to purchase a package pre-cruise online. Buying the package beforehand affords the most significant discount and will save money over waiting to purchase it on board the ship.

Also, if you're traveling with someone in the same cabin (or you plan to dine with them) and they want a drink package, you won't have the choice to purchase a package — you'll have to spring for one, too.

One common question that arises when considering MSC drink packages is whether gratuities are included. Well, the good news is that all MSC Cruises pre-paid drink packages already include 18% beverage gratuities.

The gratuity is already factored into the package price, simplifying your onboard experience.

Can One Person Get a Drink Package on MSC?

MSC Seashore

Many solo travelers wonder if they can purchase a drink package solely for themselves on MSC Cruises. Unfortunately, MSC Cruises requires that drink packages be booked by all guests occupying the same cabin and traveling together. This policy applies to both adult guests and minors. So, if you are traveling alone, you will not be able to purchase a drink package specifically for yourself.

Are MSC Cruises Drink Packages Unlimited?

MSC Cruises incredible pizza

One of the key benefits of  MSC Cruises drink packages  is that they offer unlimited beverages throughout your cruise. This means that you can enjoy as many alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks as you like each day. Whether you’re in the mood for a refreshing cocktail by the pool or a glass of wine with dinner, you can indulge in your favorite beverages without worrying about additional costs.

However, it’s important to note that there is a limit to the number of drinks you can order at once. MSC Cruises has a policy that guests are only allowed to order one drink per order. This is to ensure responsible drinking and to prevent guests from becoming intoxicated. While you can certainly enjoy multiple drinks throughout the day, you’ll need to place separate orders for each one.

So, while  MSC Cruises drink packages  offer unlimited beverages, there are some limitations to keep in mind. Make sure to pace yourself and drink responsibly, respecting the rules set by the cruise line. By doing so, you can fully enjoy the convenience and variety that the drink packages have to offer.

Pros and Cons of MSC Drink Packages

MSC Drink Packages Guide (2024) | 13

When considering whether to buy an MSC drink package, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons. Here are some key factors to consider:

1. Convenience: One of the main advantages of an MSC drink package is the convenience it offers. With a package, you have access to a wide variety of beverages throughout your cruise without having to worry about individual costs or keeping track of a bar tab.

2. Cost savings: For those who enjoy indulging in a range of drinks, purchasing a package can potentially save you money compared to buying drinks individually. This is especially true if you plan on consuming alcoholic beverages, as the cost of cocktails, beers, and wines can add up quickly.

3. Variety of options: MSC offers several different drink packages, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your preferences and budget. From basic packages that include soft drinks and non-alcoholic beverages to more inclusive options that cover premium cocktails and wines, there is something for everyone.

1. Upfront cost: While drink packages can save you money in the long run, they do require an upfront investment. Depending on the package you choose, prices can range from $49 to $100 per person, per day. This cost may be prohibitive for some guests, especially if they don’t plan on consuming a significant amount of beverages.

2. Drink preferences: It’s important to consider your own drink preferences when deciding whether a package is worth it for you. If you primarily stick to non-alcoholic beverages or have specific preferences for certain types of drinks, you may find that a package doesn’t offer enough value for your individual needs.

3. Port days: Another factor to consider is whether your cruise itinerary includes a lot of port days. If you plan on spending a significant amount of time off the ship exploring the destinations, you may not have as many opportunities to take advantage of the drink package.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to purchase an MSC drink package depends on your individual preferences, budget, and cruise plans. Consider the convenience, potential cost savings, and variety of options offered by the packages, as well as any potential drawbacks, to determine if a drink package is the right choice for you.

Tips for Choosing the Right MSC Drink Package

Sailings On MSC Meraviglia From New York City

Choosing the right MSC drink package can enhance your cruising experience and ensure that you have the perfect beverages to suit your preferences. Consider the following tips when selecting your drink package:

  • Know your drink preferences:  Take some time to think about the types of beverages you enjoy. If you’re a fan of premium cocktails, wines, and beers, the Premium Extra Package may be your best bet. However, if you prefer simpler drinks like soft drinks and classic cocktails, the Easy Package or Easy Plus Package might be more suitable.
  • Consider the duration of your cruise:  The length of your cruise can play a role in determining the most cost-effective drink package for you. If you’re embarking on a shorter cruise, it might be wise to opt for a less expensive package that still includes your favorite drinks. On longer cruises, you may want to indulge in a more inclusive package to enjoy a wider variety of beverages.
  • Take your planned activities into account:  Think about the activities you have planned onboard. If you’re someone who enjoys lounging by the pool and sipping on refreshing drinks, a package that includes frozen cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages might be ideal. Conversely, if you plan on dining at specialty restaurants and indulging in premium beverages, a more comprehensive package will offer greater value.

Final Thoughts

By understanding the available options and carefully weighing the pros and cons, you can make an informed choice that best suits their needs.

The convenience of having all your beverages included and not having to worry about a bar tab is a pro, but guests should consider their drink preferences, onboard drink prices, and typical consumption to determine if the package is worth it for them.

What are some tips for choosing the right MSC drink package?

To choose the right MSC drink package, consider your drink preferences, the duration of your cruise, and the activities you plan to do onboard. If you prefer premium or specialty drinks, the Premium Extra Package might be the best option. If you are on a budget or prefer simple drinks, the Easy Package or Easy Plus Package could be more suitable. Research the prices of individual drinks onboard to compare them with the package prices.

What are the MSC Drink Packages?

MSC Cruises currently offers five different drink package options. These cruise drink packages include the Easy Package, Easy Plus Package, and Premium Extra Package. There are also two non-alcoholic options, the Alcohol Free Package and the Minors Package.

Easy Package

What is the Easy Drink Package on MSC? This is the cheapest MSC Cruises drink package. This option entitles guests to a limited number of alcoholic beverages including house wines by the glass, draft beer, a selection of craft cocktails, mixed drinks, and non-alcoholic cocktails. There is a separate section on the bar menus for guests with this package.

It also includes soft drinks, fruit juices, bottled water, and classic hot drinks (espresso, cappuccino, latte, and hot tea).

This package covers all of the above served in bars, the buffet, and the main restaurant, as well as on the private island of Ocean Cay. However, it does NOT cover drinks in specialty restaurants or signature venues like Venchi 1878 or Jean Phillippe Chocolate, Coffee & Gelato.

The Easy Plus Package works at all bars, the buffet, the main dining room, and specialty restaurants, as well as Ocean Cay. However, it does not work in signature venues either.

MSC Seascape Cruise Ship Scorecard Review

Premium Extra Package

The Premium Extra Package is the most inclusive of the MSC cruise drink packages. This package covers all drinks up to $16 . It includes an extensive variety of frozen and classic cocktails, and premium brand spirits, liquors, and cordials. Additionally, guests can enjoy a selection of wines and champagnes by the glass or a 25% discount on bottles of wine and champagne.

This package also includes all draft, craft, and bottled beers, soda, juices, bottled water, energy drinks, specialty coffee, hot chocolate, and teas.

The Premium Extra Package works at all bars, the buffet, the main dining room, and specialty restaurants, as well as Ocean Cay. However, it does not work in signature venues either.

Alcohol Free Package

This cruise drink package includes a wide choice of alcohol free cocktails, soda, energy drinks, mineral water, flavored water, fruit juices, coffee drinks, hot chocolate, and hot teas.

This package does NOT work in the specialty restaurants or at signature venues. Yes, this means that if you purchase this package, you can’t even order a soda while enjoying dinner in the Butcher’s Cut.

MSC Drink Prices

Below are a list of the sample drink prices on MSC Cruises. You can also check out our  bar menus from a recent MSC Seascape cruise (December 2022) to determine the cost of your favorite beverages.

  • Bottled Water (non-premium)- $3.25
  • Espresso-Based Beverages- $4.25
  • Soft Drinks- $3
  • Mocktails- $6
  • Energy Drinks- $4.95
  • Gatorade- $4.25
  • Cocktails- $7.50-$12
  • Signature Cocktails- $14-$16

Are the drink packages on MSC worth it?

This is a question that only you can answer. Essentially, the question is whether you will consume enough beverages to make the purchase “worth it”. Knowing your drink preferences, onboard drink prices, and typical consumption, you can estimate whether or not you would hit the “break even” price point.

Other considerations include the length of the cruise and how many ports of call are on the itinerary.

For instance, will you be able to sustain the same drinking pattern over the course of a 10-day or 14-day cruise? If your cruise is port intensive, will you be on the ship enough to make good use of your drink package?

Overall, cruise drink packages certainly do offer convenience, as you never have to worry about the bar tab at the end of the cruise! Still, you should weigh the pros and cons for yourself before you decide to purchase one or not.

Of course, if you wish to forego a beverage package, you can always pay a la carte for your drinks purchased on the ship.

I’m not sure if your information or mine is incorrect. In your article you state “The Easy Plus Package covers all beverages priced up to $9.” On the MSC site it says the Easy plus package covers up to 9 euros/$10. Did you mean Euros or USD in you article, or is the information incorrect?

As an experienced cruiser, I understand that selecting the perfect beverage package can significantly improve your onboard experience. This is why I’m presenting you with the ultimate guide to the drink package options offered by MSC Cruises.

From the Easy Package to the Premium Extra Package, MSC offers a range of choices for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. With detailed information on inclusions, limitations, and recommendations, as well as tips for making the most of your package, you’ll be able to decide which option is perfect for your drinking preferences and consumption habits.

Table of Contents

Key Takeaways

  • MSC offers a variety of drink packages, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.
  • The prices of the drink packages range from $30 to $88 per person, per day.
  • The packages have different inclusions and limitations, such as drink selection and access to specialty restaurants.
  • It is important to consider your drinking preferences, cruise duration, and individual consumption habits before purchasing a drink package.

Alcoholic Drink Packages

I’m considering purchasing the Easy Plus Package because it includes specialty restaurants and drinks up to $10 per glass. When it comes to drink package pricing, it’s important to consider the benefits that these packages offer.

With the Easy Plus Package, not only do you get the convenience of having your drinks included, but you also have the freedom to choose from a wide variety of beverages. From house wines to classic cocktails, this package allows you to indulge in your favorite drinks without worrying about the cost.

Additionally, the inclusion of specialty restaurants means that you can enjoy a delicious meal paired with your preferred libation. The Easy Plus Package truly offers great value for those who want to have a hassle-free and enjoyable drinking experience during their cruise.

Non-Alcoholic Drink Packages

The Non-Alcoholic Drink Packages offered by MSC include a variety of refreshing options such as soda, energy drinks, and alcohol-free cocktails. These packages are a great choice for those who prefer to abstain from alcohol or simply want to enjoy a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages during their cruise.

One of the benefits of opting for a non-alcoholic package is the cost-saving aspect. Compared to the alcoholic drink packages, the non-alcoholic options are generally more affordable.

Additionally, non-alcoholic packages offer a healthier alternative, allowing guests to stay hydrated and enjoy a variety of refreshing drinks without the effects of alcohol.

Whether you’re looking for a soda to quench your thirst or a delicious mocktail to sip on, MSC’s non-alcoholic drink packages have you covered.

Cost and Inclusions of Drink Packages

Pricing for the drink packages varies based on the duration of the cruise and the type of package selected. When comparing the prices of the MSC drink packages, it is important to consider the benefits of purchasing a drink package.

Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Drink Package Pricing Comparison:

The Easy Package is the most affordable option at $49 per person, per day.

The Easy Plus Package is priced at $64 per person, per day and includes drinks up to $10 per glass.

The Premium Extra Package, priced at $88 per person, per day, offers a wide selection of drinks up to $16 per glass.

Benefits of Purchasing a Drink Package:

Cost Savings: Purchasing a drink package can be more cost-effective than buying individual drinks throughout the cruise.

Variety: The different packages offer a range of drink options, allowing you to try new beverages and enjoy your favorites.

Additional Information on Drink Packages

When considering the drink packages, it’s important to note that there is no daily limit on drinks included with the packages. This is one of the advantages of purchasing a drink package with MSC Cruises. Unlike some other cruise lines, MSC does not impose a daily limit on the number of drinks you can enjoy.

This means that you can fully indulge in a wide variety of beverages throughout your cruise without any restrictions. Whether you prefer classic cocktails, premium brand drinks, or non-alcoholic options, MSC offers packages to suit every preference.

In comparison to other cruise lines’ drink packages, MSC’s offerings are relatively affordable and provide a generous selection of drinks. So, if you’re looking to enjoy unlimited beverages and maximize your cruise experience, purchasing an MSC drink package is definitely worth considering.

Choosing the Right Drink Package

As a passenger, it is important to consider your drinking preferences and habits before selecting the right drink package for your MSC cruise. The duration of your package will also play a role in your decision.

If you enjoy a variety of alcoholic beverages and plan to indulge throughout your cruise, the Premium Extra Package might be the best option for you. This package offers a wide selection of high-end drinks and cocktails.

On the other hand, if you prefer classic drinks and don’t need as much variety, the Easy Package could be more suitable.

Additionally, if you are a non-drinker or traveling with minors, there are non-alcoholic packages available.

Take the time to evaluate your preferences and the length of your cruise to ensure you choose the package that best fits your needs.

Types of MSC Drink Packages

I personally found the variety of drink packages offered by MSC to be appealing. When it comes to drink package options for families, MSC has you covered. They offer different packages to suit various preferences and budgets.

The benefits of purchasing a drink package are numerous. Not only does it provide convenience and peace of mind, but it can also save you money in the long run. MSC offers packages for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, ensuring that everyone in your family can find something they enjoy.

From the Easy Package, which includes basic drinks like water and coffee, to the Premium Package, which offers a wide selection of premium brand drinks and cocktails, there is something for everyone. Purchasing a drink package allows you to indulge in a variety of beverages throughout your cruise without worrying about the cost adding up.

It’s a great way to enhance your vacation experience and make the most of your time on board.

Pricing, Restrictions, and Tips for Drink Packages

The pricing for MSC’s drink packages varies depending on the duration of the cruise and the specific package chosen. When comparing drink package prices, it’s important to consider the value you will receive.

The Easy Package is generally the most affordable option, followed by the Easy Plus Package and the Premium Package. The Kids Package is usually priced lower than the adult packages. Purchasing drinks individually without a package can be more expensive in the long run.

It’s also worth noting that some cruise lines may have restrictions on the purchase of drink packages for cruises shorter than a certain duration. When evaluating the value of drink packages, consider your drinking preferences and habits. If you are not a big drinker, purchasing drinks individually may be more cost-effective.

Be sure to check the specific inclusions and exclusions of each drink package before making a decision.

Making the Most of Your Drink Package

When it comes to maximizing the value of your MSC drink package, there are a few key strategies to keep in mind.

One of the best ways to make the most of your package is by exploring the variety of drink options available in MSC’s Premium Extra Package. This package offers a wide selection of premium brand drinks and cocktails, allowing you to indulge in higher-end beverages throughout your cruise.

Additionally, don’t forget to take advantage of MSC’s private island, Ocean Cay. The drink package can be used on the island, so make sure to enjoy a refreshing cocktail or beverage while lounging on the pristine beaches.

Considerations Before Purchasing a Drink Package

Before purchasing a drink package, it’s important to carefully evaluate your drinking preferences and calculate the potential cost and value of the package based on your expected consumption.

MSC Cruises offers a range of drink packages, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. The pros of these packages include convenience, as you don’t have to worry about individual drink prices, and the ability to try a variety of drinks without breaking the bank.

However, there are also cons to consider, such as the limited selection in lower-tier packages and the requirement for everyone in the cabin to purchase the package.

  • Highlight any financial constraints or scheduling conflicts that may impact your ability to travel on the originally planned dates.

By providing this information, you can help the customer service representative understand your situation better and explore possible options for changing your cruise dates. Remember to be polite and patient throughout the conversation to facilitate a positive outcome.

In the subsequent section about being flexible and open to alternative dates, you can explore various options to accommodate your desired changes without disrupting your vacation plans.

Be Flexible and Open to Alternative Dates

Being flexible and open to different options can greatly increase your chances of finding a solution that works for both you and the cruise line. When it comes to changing your Carnival cruise dates, being flexible allows you to take advantage of various benefits.

For example, if you have a specific destination in mind but the original dates are not available, being open to alternative dates can help you still experience that dream vacation. Additionally, flexibility allows you to potentially avoid peak travel times when prices are higher.

Carnival Cruise Line often offers promotions and discounts for certain dates, so being open to these options can save you money. By considering alternative options and being flexible with your travel plans, you can increase your chances of finding a suitable solution.

Transitioning into the next section, it’s also important to consider any additional costs or fees that may be associated with changing your cruise dates.

Consider Any Additional Costs or Fees

It’s crucial to take into account any extra expenses or fees that may be incurred when modifying your chosen time frame for the vacation at sea. When changing your Carnival cruise dates, it’s important to consider the cruise line’s cancellation policy and potential penalties. To help you make an informed decision, I’ve created a table below outlining some possible additional costs or fees you might encounter:

By carefully considering these factors, you can make the best decision for your budget and preferences. Now, let’s move on to the next section and review and confirm the changes with Carnival Cruise Line.

Review and Confirm the Changes with Carnival Cruise Line

Get ready to review and confirm all the exciting updates to your dream vacation with Carnival Cruise Line! When confirming changes to your Carnival Cruise dates, it’s important to review and confirm the changes with the cruise line’s customer service. To ensure a smooth process, here are three key points to keep in mind:

Double-check the new dates: Carefully review the revised dates to ensure they align with your desired travel plans. Verify that there are no conflicts with any other commitments or obligations.

Confirm any additional costs or fees: Take note of any changes in pricing or fees that may apply due to the date change. Carnival Cruise Line’s customer service can provide detailed information regarding any additional costs.

Review the revised itinerary: Take the time to thoroughly review the updated itinerary to ensure it still includes all the activities and destinations you were originally looking forward to.

Once you have confirmed the changes with Carnival Cruise Line, it’s important to make sure to update any travel insurance or accommodation bookings to reflect the new dates.

Make Sure to Update any Travel Insurance or Accommodation Bookings

Don’t forget to update your travel insurance and accommodation bookings to ensure everything is in place for your upcoming dream vacation with Carnival Cruise Line! It’s essential to keep your travel insurance up to date with the revised dates of your cruise to ensure you are adequately covered for any unforeseen circumstances. Contact your insurance provider and provide them with the updated information to avoid any complications during your trip. Additionally, if you had made any accommodation bookings for your pre or post-cruise stay, make sure to cancel or modify them accordingly. This will help you avoid any unnecessary charges and ensure a smooth transition to your revised cruise dates. Now that you have taken care of updating your travel insurance and accommodations, it’s time to prepare for your revised cruise dates.

Prepare for Your Revised Cruise Dates

After updating your travel insurance and accommodation bookings, it’s time to prepare for your revised cruise dates with Carnival Cruise Line.

First and foremost, familiarize yourself with the new itinerary to ensure you don’t miss out on any exciting ports or activities.

Next, pack your essentials accordingly. Consider the weather forecast for each destination and pack appropriate clothing, including swimsuits, formal attire, and comfortable walking shoes. Don’t forget any necessary medications or personal items.

Additionally, check the baggage policy of Carnival Cruise Line to pack within the allowed limits. Remember to bring any important documents, such as passports or identification, as well as your updated cruise documents.

With these preparations in place, you can look forward to enjoying your cruise with Carnival Cruise Line, exploring new destinations, and creating unforgettable memories.

MSC Cruises Drink & Bar Menus With PriceS – UPDATED

Last Updated on April 2, 2024

We spent a lot of time on a recent voyage with MSC Cruises trying to decipher the MSC drink menus and drink packages. We are posting the entire range of MSC drink menus to accompany the information recently published comparing the drink packages. These menus will also help people with the MSC Easy drink package better understand what’s included!

MSC Cruises Gratuities on Bar / Drink Purchases

Onboard bar purchases will incur gratuities, automatically added to all purchases : 15% gratuities on European, Emirates, South Caribbean, Red Sea, South America (Brazil and Argentina), and Far East itineraries, and 18% gratuities on North America itineraries. If you purchase a drink or beverage package, the price of the package includes the gratuities and you will not pay anything additional!

A word about the drinks on MSC Cruises

If you plan on enjoying your cruise without purchasing a drink package, you’ll see by the above menus that the prices of drinks really aren’t terrible compared to other cruise lines. However, a drink package is now more commonly included as a perk or incentive when booking a cruise with MSC . Even if there is a slight upcharge for an included Easy Package for you’re next cruise, you’ll likely find that it’s well worth it given that it includes bottled water, sodas and specialty coffee which is uncommon with most cruise lines.

Hi! We have a cabin (Seaside from Genoa – 7 nights) for 4 people: 2 adults, 2 children, we have Easy Package for all four people. By definition, children do not drink alcoholic beverages, but my question is, is ice cream(for the children) included in Easy Packae? Thanks in advance: Agnes

Hi Agnes, I think if you call MSC, they will downgrade the kids to a soft drink package and save you money. As for icecream, it was available at the outside cafe at no charge but it will not cover the specialty ice cream / Gelato at Philippe Maury & Venchi Chocolate

Does the prices in the drinks menu include the gratuity? Or we have to add the 18% to know the total price?

Lizette, If you don’t have a drink package, and you are purchasing the drinks one by one, then you’ll pay the gratuity on top of the price you’re seeing. I believe the gratuity has just increased to 18% from 15%

We are two people traveling on MSC Meraviglia. Looking at these prices (some of them equal to or better than any hotel or Pub), I don’t think we are going to spend $560 (2 non-alcoholic packages) on water, coffee, and sodas in our 10-day cruise.

I agree- The prices really aren’t bad compared to other cruise lines! The packages make the most sense when they’re included as a promotion in the base fare at a discounted rate. I have friends that recently did a 2 week cruise with MSC and the drink packages were as much as the cruise. They declined and ended up spending a fraction of what the drink package would have been. Definitely worth doing the math!

how can i find out what brands of scotch are included in the easy plus package

Hi Bill & Susan, You can see the main menu above (first menu) and page 7 has “whisky” …. which they’ve sort of put all scotch and whisky together.

Remember it’s anything up to $10 per drink, so there are quite a few basic options available.

It’s explained on another page here that the Easy Package includes drinks up to $7.50, but I don’t see these drinks listed in the menu provided above, only the $9 ones. Did I miss something? Or is it $7.50 plus a 20% gratuity so it is $9.00 as listed on the menu which also includes the tip.

Hi Cory – If you look at the menu at the top of this page – and flip to the first page of the menu, it has the drinks up to 7.50 which are included in the “easy” package. MSC Generally has a menu for drinks that are part of the “Easy Package” and not all have a price associated with them (They’re just included). The $7.50 amount has been established since they now allow you to get a drink that is more than the $7.50 limit by paying the difference. I hope that makes sense!

Thanks! Don’t know how I missed that. I did the calculation and for our group of mostly light or non-drinkers, the packages don’t make financial sense when everybody has to get the same package, especially when we are going to be in port during most days and will get paid drinks there.

Sure! If you’re light drinkers, MSC Often has a promo for Easy or Easy plus as part of a cruise fare. I find that is the best way to go when it’s available since it covers everything from premium coffee & bottled water, etc. Not sure if you saw our MSC Drink Calculator (here) . This might help as well!

I noticed one can order bottles of wine pre cruise to be delivered to your stateroom. The prices for which seemed reasonable at @$32. My question is can you get a bottle at a bar on board and take it to your room or would there be a corkage fee?

Hi Kim! If you get the bottles onboard where they are available, you’ll pay a gratuity but not a true “corkage” fee by just taking them back to your room. So Expect to pay whatever their automatic gratuity / service charge is – but nothing else.

Hi. Are these prices in australian dollars?

Hello! The prices are in US dollars unless otherwise noted (sometimes we post prices in Euro, but it’s clearly stated).

Your not in Alice Springs anymore, mate!

Are these also the same prices if you were to buy the drinks a la carte?

Hi Josh – Yes, this is the ship-wide price list even if you’re paying for the drinks 1 at a time. For package customers, it’s a reference as to what the package will cover more than anything.

Explained: MSC’s Big Changes to Drink Packages

With cruising paused, many cruise lines took the time to re-think not only how they can sail safely in a new environment, but also other parts of the cruise experience. Case in point: MSC Cruises is rolling out a major revamp to its drink package options, beginning in late 2021.

MSC Cruises signage

MSC Cruises may not be a household name in the United States just yet, but the cruise line has a growing its presence here, in addition to being a popular choice in Europe. One of the ways MSC is making inroads is with offering relatively cheap fares compared to rivals, as well as affordable onboard items — especially drink packages.

For example, the least expensive (although most restrictive) alcoholic drink package before the pause in sailing could be bought for as little as $35 per day. Most other lines charge between $60-80 for their packages.

Now the cruise line is mixing things up somewhat, including changing the names of packages and what’s included. Here’s what you need to know.

Overview of the Change in Packages Offered

Prior to the change, MSC offered three different alcoholic packages:

Easy Package (Old): The least expensive option, which covered drinks up to $6 per glass, was known as the Easy Package. With this offer, you essentially received your option of a couple of beers, a selection of well drinks, house wines, coffees, and soda.

Premium Package (Old): More comparable to the drink packages found on other cruise lines, the Premium Package offered drinks up to $12 per glass. That opened up your options to most of what was available on the ship, including a large lineup of beer, cocktails, and wine.

Premium Plus (Old): While most drinks were available under the Premium Package, for those who simply wanted anything on the ship, they could upgrade to Premium Plus. With this offer there was no price limit, so if it was available, it was included in the package.

With the new rework of the packages, however, MSC is offering a different lineup of packages:

Easy Package (New): Just as before, the Easy Package is still there. You can still have this package and get an assortment of well drinks, house wines, coffees, and sodas. As before, there is a limited beer selection.

Easy Plus (New): The Premium Package is now removed. Instead, MSC offers the Easy Plus Package. This includes drinks of up to $9. That will get you most beers on the ship, as well as many name-brand liquors, wines up to $9 per glass, sodas, and water. However, a number of high-end liquors that used to be available under the Premium Package are not included under the Easy Plus offer. This includes Chivas Regal, Johnnie Walker Black, and Grey Goose. As well, many cocktail options (such as “Tropical Treasures”) are also now excluded.

Premium Extra (New): Replacing Premium Plus, which gave you access to just about all the drinks on the ship, is the new Premium Extra offer. Now, there is a price limit of up to $15 per glass. This price limit does remove a few higher-end drinks off the list, but it’s certainly not many. For passengers used to traditional drink packages from other cruise lines, such as Carnival’s CHEERS! package, the Premium Extra is MSC’s comparable entry in this field.

Change in Pricing Offered

While pricing can adjust at any time, we last saw the following numbers for the old drink packages in 2020, before the pause in cruising:

Easy Package (Old): $35 per person, per day Premium Package (Old): $62 per person, per day Premium Plus (Old): $79 per person, per day

Now, the new packages have the following pricing for now, according to MSC’s website:

Easy Package (New): $38 per person, per day Easy Plus (New): $49 per person, per day Premium Extra (New): $69 per person, per day

As you can see, the Easy Package (which largely stayed the same) went up slightly in price. And while the new Easy Plus and Premium Extra packages don’t have the same price ceilings per drink as the old Premium/Premium Plus packages, they are also considerably less expensive.

Analyzing the Changes in Package Offerings

Tropical Treasures cocktails on MSC

MSC has provided a list of what’s included and what’s not in each package. This allows you to get a better idea of what’s changed with the new lineup of packages.

  • Drink Package Comparison List (Old)
  • Drink Package Comparison List (New)

Looking through the list, the biggest difference seems to be in the offerings of the old Premium Package versus the new Easy Plus . Before, the mid-tier Premium Package’s lineup was more like a traditional drink package seen on other lines that allowed you all but the highest-end beverages given the $12 per drink limit. Now, the mid-tier Easy Plus (with the $9 per drink limit) offers fewer choices.

Instead, if passengers want to be able to get most drinks on the ship — especially cocktails — they will need to purchase the new Premium Extra Package, which is the most expensive option.

For instance, with the old mid-tier Premium Package, passengers could get all of the following from the cocktail menu alone:

  • Alcohol-Free Cocktails
  • Contemporary Classics (e.g. Classic Martini, Margarita, Bloody Mary)
  • Fresh Fruit Cocktails
  • Frozen Drinks
  • Mixed Drinks with Well Spirits
  • Premium Cocktails (e.g. Signature Martini, Hemingway Daiquiri)
  • Premium Mixed Drinks
  • Protein Shakes
  • Tropical Treasures (e.g. Mai Tai, Miami Beach Iced Tea)
  • Classic Cocktails with Well Spirits.

Now, the Easy Plus Package offers just the following for cocktail options (although other drinks like beer, wine, and liquors are available and the price is cheaper):

  • Contemporary Classics
  • Classic Cocktails with Well Spirits

Things like Premium Cocktails and Tropical Treasures are no longer included.

Who Is Each Package Best For?

In our eyes, the three different drink packages offered can make it difficult to know which one is right for you. Should you save money and go with a lower-tier package? Or pay up for more options?

Easy Package: The most restrictive package, we’d suggest this offer for people who don’t mind a smaller number of options. The unique, fancy cocktails aren’t included, but you can get classics like Rum & Coke, or a Moscow Mule. House wines, fountain sodas and premium coffee are also included. So if you aren’t a big alcohol drinker or don’t need a lot of variety, then this package might be good for you.

Easy Plus Package: Ideal for beer drinkers and those who favorite mid-tier liquors. One of the biggest differences between the Easy Plus and Easy Packages is the beer lineup. Only two alcoholic beers are included in the Easy Package. More than 20 are included with Easy Plus, the same as the higher-end Premium Extra package that’s more expensive.

As well, there are more name-brand liquors available for drinks, including Jameson, Tito’s, Captain Morgan, 1800 Reposado, and dozens more. There are also more non-alcoholic options like bottled juices and energy drinks compared to the Easy package. However, many menu options are over the $9 per glass limit, restricting choices.

Premium Extra: If you’re looking for the classic drink package experience where you have nearly everything on the ship included, then you’ll want the Premium Extra. Not only do you get what’s included in the Easy Plus Package, but there are also more liquor brands included. As well, you have the greatest number of cocktail options included, as well as the most wines by the glass.

While the lower-tier packages will work for some people, we think most people would want to opt for the new Premium Extra to have the most choice available .

What’s The Main Takeaway From the Changes?

So what is the bottom line if you are sailing on an upcoming MSC cruise? In our view, there are pluses and minuses, depending on what you drink.

Essentially, there seems to have been little change with the lowest-tier Easy Package. If you’ve been happy with that before, then the new plans shouldn’t have an effect.

The biggest difference appears with the move to introduce the Easy Plus and Premium Extra packages.

Easy Plus seems like a good deal if you are a beer drinker. It offers the same wide number of options for beer, but at a lower price than the Premium package that had been offered. The tradeoff is that there are fewer liquor and cocktail items included with the Easy Plus compared to the former Premium package given the lower $9 per glass limit.

Instead, those who were happy with the Premium package before (thanks to the variety of different drinks) should check the new list of offerings . If you enjoyed cocktails with the package, it’s likely you’ll now want the highest-tier Premium Extra package. With the $15 per glass limit, it simply gives you the most choice.

The best solution to find the right drink package? Check out the lineup of what’s offered and see where you’ll get the most bang for you buck, depending on what you like to drink.

Cruise Drink Packages: Your Options by Cruise Line

C ruise drink packages can provide incredible value for people who plan to regularly imbibe on their voyage and want the convenience of an unlimited open bar package – whereas they may not be a good deal for light drinkers. Other options include alcohol-free drink packages, which let cruisers indulge in soft drinks, hot chocolate, specialty coffees and a range of other nonalcoholic beverages.

Whether or not to get the drink package is a question all cruisers face, and there's no perfect answer for everyone. Read on to learn about the drink packages offered by the major cruise lines and what each beverage package includes.

Expert tip: The price of each beverage package will vary from sailing to sailing and may change at any time. Also note that cruise drink packages are almost always nontransferable and nonrefundable, and that everyone in your cabin needs to buy a package. If kids are cruising with adults who purchase an alcoholic drink package, a nonalcoholic package must be purchased for them.
