Rare Beamafar Posted September 16, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I'll just add that upgrading from the included Classic package to the Deluxe (premium) package is great value on Seaside, IMHO. It's only $8 pppd and includes room service drinks and food menu items (except pizza), in-cabin mini-bar (which is replenished every day), items in Venchi and better quality wines, as well as higher-end spirits/liquors. In fact, everything on the drinks menus, including items with one asterisk. Items with 2 asterisks aren't included in any packages; Classic only covers items with no asterisks. Check out some of the Seaside threads with photos of the menus - or click on the following link to compare what's on offer on each of the packages: https://www.msccruisesusa.com/en-us/Assets/2018%20Drink%20Package%20Comparison%20Guise%20with%20DRINKS%20ON%20US.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rklrkl Posted September 17, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Just tried to get the upgrade and was quoted 356 for the cabin. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted September 17, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2018 How many are in the cabin and how long is the cruise? Also, where are you booking from? You haven't provided enough information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rklrkl Posted September 17, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted September 17, 2018 There are 2 of us for 7 day Caribbean cruise. We booked a grand suite with an aurea package Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted September 17, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2018 You need to contact MSC again, so, as you've been misquoted for the upgrade. The price for the Classic package is $47 and the Deluxe is $55 - a difference of $8. The quote you received is not even divisible by 14 (2 people x 7 nights).

Rare Beamafar Posted September 18, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 18, 2018 If the figure was, in fact, $364, then whoever you spoke with is confusing your included 'Classic' package with the promotional 'Drinks on US' package, as that's the cost to upgrade to Deluxe from it. You should contact them again and explain that your Aurea booking includes 'Classic' and not 'Drinks on Us'. The upgrade (on US sailings) is well worth the $112 it costs for all the extras that comes with it, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rklrkl Posted September 18, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Thanks. The charge shows on my credit card but it is still not reflected on the MSC website under purchases. Will have to wait and see Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
