sg1812 Posted May 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Looking at the add-on's to our upcoming cruise, I see that there is a package labeled as "Dinner wine: 7 bottles of house brand wine (white, red, rosé) to accompany your dinner in restaurant." Has any recent cruiser got a picture or information on what these house wines are? Additionally, another option is "BOTTLE OF HOUSE SPARKLING WINE-One bottle of house-brand sparkling wine" Can anyone assist with what this wine is? Prosecco, asti, cava? Can anyone please post the coffee menu too please, I see a package for coffee that I imagine that we would enjoy. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioknight01 Posted May 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I am wondering the same thing. I called MSC directly and they said they do not have a list of the wines that you may select from for the dinner wine package. Has anyone who recently went on this ship got a list of the house wines or even a brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nikkiw60 Posted May 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 28, 2017 These are from the wine list in January if it's any help. Sorry the menu is a bit scrunched but it's from the buffet, it's the same wine list in the other bars though. Just a tip re the sparkling wine avoid the Asti it's awful! The prosecco is ok though!

8420PR Posted May 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 28, 2017 We took the "Dinner wine: 7 bottles of house brand wine (white, red, rosé)" option on the Divina last September. I don't have any record of the particular wines, but it was 'mass market' drinkable - I guess no different from many of the other wines on the winelist. (Disclaimer: I am no wine expert, I just enjoy a glass of wine every now and then!). Ultimately, it was exceptional value if you don't have all-inclusive drinks and like to enjoy wine with your meal - I would definitely book it again. The only pain was the vouchers - I would much prefer to just carry my cruise card, instead of multiple vouchers for this, that and something else! Additionally, just FYI we picked up the more4less vouchers in the casino when we boarded, but the wine vouchers were given to us in the restaurant on the first night.

bioknight01 Posted May 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Nikki & 8420. Thank you both. That is very helpful. We are happy to see the Mascato on the list as that is my wife's preferred wine. 8420, as i read it, the 7 bottles with dinner deal allows us to pick the same bottle 7 times correct? I agree it appears like a grwat deal. But i know my wife will want 7 Mascato bottles and she will not drink anything else. Does the list Nikki posted somewhat resemble the selection you had to choose from? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poya71 Posted June 1, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 1, 2017 We are thinking about doing the Divina with our kids for a holiday cruise and I was wondering how the drinks compare to other cruises. I am used to paying for alcoholic beverages, but not for non-alcoholic other than soda. Do you have to pay for all drinks? If so, what other things do you have to pay for and it looks like they have a drink package that you can purchase that would essentially make it an "all inclusive" drink package. I know the Aurea is an all inclusive, but that would cost my family approximately substantially more than the per day drink package that you can purchase separately. Any help you can give us is most appreciated. This is a big trip for my family and we just want to be aware of all costs before we book. Thanks so much!!
