Mrearl Posted June 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2018 We will be Divina for the January cruise and received the Drinks on Us. The only problem is there are only one selection in each liquor category, only one gin,one vodka One draft beer, and no frozen drinks. I have never been on a cruise with frozen drinks not included on a drink Package. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been on a cruise with frozen drinks not included on a drink Package. Sent from my iPhone using Forums We upgraded from the Drinks on us to the Classic package for $18 pp per day. That takes care of the frozen drinks we like. Also, with the Drinks on Us you pay a gratuity on each drink. With the Classic package that we upgraded to, the gratuity is included so that makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george35 Posted June 23, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Can you up-grade your drink package anytime on the ship? george35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbabyfish Posted June 23, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Do it before you cruise, either on-line or call. I believe both people in a stateroom have to upgrade to the classic package. Sent from my SM-S320VL using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrearl Posted June 24, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted June 24, 2018 It was $18 per person You do not have to pay .75 gratuities like the drinks on us. So if you have 5 or more drinks and like specialty coffees and frozen cocktails then it is a better deal Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted June 24, 2018 #12 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Can you up-grade your drink package anytime on the ship? george35 Only on the first day or two - and you pay 15% service charge which you can avoid by pre-purchasing the upgrade.

SeaShark Posted June 24, 2018 #13 Share Posted June 24, 2018 WOW. MSC has create a free drink package to give away resulting in cruisers PAYING for a drink package to replace the one they were given for free. I don't care how you slice it, THAT is pure marketing genius. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrearl Posted June 24, 2018 Author #14 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Yes it is but it is $18 a day for the up grade Most drink packages start around $45 a day. The free drink package on NCL does not include bottle water or specialty coffees.

duegwb Posted June 24, 2018 #15 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Is the gellato included in the Classic package? How many drinks, speciality coffees, frozen drinks, etc would you need to make this worth it? I ask because my dw and I aren't big drinkers, so we're trying to gauge if it's worth it..
