Hello was hoping someone may be able to help me.

 

When purchasing a All-Inclusive Classic Drinks Package,

Do you know if with this package you can go into the Piazza Del Doge Ice cream bar an get the gelato, ice cream, cappuccino's Expresso, at no cost, or do you still have to pay for these.

Yes, these items will be included. However, the sundaes/fancy desserts, pastries/treats and specialist coffees served in that area won't be included - you need the premium package to avail of those. However, the sweet treats are very reasonably priced, should you care to indulge. Anything on the menus without asterisks are included.

I believe pastries are included for anyone with an all inclusive package on the Divina. (I'm 99% sure of it) They're definitely included for YC passengers (and that's not premium). I think it differs in the Med

 

Yacht Club guests do get the premium all-inclusive package, P. I can't comment on the pastries being included in the basic package on Divina when she homeports in Miami as I haven't experienced it (yet! - Looking forward to the US experience in March 2019 ;p).

Premium for YC still has top shelf not included though, correct? We only drank what was included, lol.

But as far as the pastries - when we sailed on the Divina 3 years ago in the Caribbean with the classic all inclusive package, pastries in the pastry shop were included. I'm on a lot of Divina forums and people have mentioned getting them free more recently as well with the all in package, but didn't specify if it was the premium or not.

 

Seaside in March 2019 Bea? We're on next month...can't wait!

No, we're doing Divina - 11 nights Caribbean/Central America, then the 20 nights repo back to the Med.

 

I can imagine your excitement at trying out the new ship next month, P. I was in a similar position last May anticipating our June, Meraviglia cruise.

 

As to the premium drinks included for YC - all items with 1 asterisk (as well as non-asterisked items) are included. These are referred to as premium. MSC has only recently intoduced the 'Super Premium' level of items which have 2 asterisks and they aren't included in any packages, so I suppose you're right in a way that 'Top Shelf' items aren't included. The bit that bugs me about this is that there are some items that were 'Top Shelf' that were once included in the premium package. Like a lot of other things with MSC, more costs with less value.

Luckily for me, I like what's on the "regular" menu of cocktails and beverages. As you can tell from my name, Prosecco usually suits me just fine :)

Your plan for 2019 sounds wonderful! I'd love to try a TA one day.

We're doing Splendida's 28 night repo from Dubai to Japan next March, P - in YC!!!!! Now, that, I can't wait for!

 

The long hauls are sooooo different - you really must do one! Everybody's more relaxed and you become really familiar with the crew. I got terribly emotional on our last day of a 28 night one on Sinfonia last year. It was very embarrassing as we were hanging out at the pool and it just came on very suddenly - everyone was staring and wondering what had happened. Even the head waiter (who had become a real friend and looked after us throughout the cruise at breakfast, lunch and dinner!) noticed the after-effects at dinner that night and gave me a right slagging off.

 

(Apologies to the OP for going off-topic).
