Drink Packages from October 7th 2018

[sidari]

Here is a set of lists of the previous drink packages for the Caribbean which may be helpful to those who have yet to sail and have been told by MSC that their packages will be honoured as purchased. AI Deluxe was not just YC.  A big thanks to Tina C for sending them.

I have already printed this out to take with me, the only problem I have is them honoring the cocktails that use to be less than $8 but are now $8.50. We upgraded for the foo foo drinks and with this unless they honor the price before the new menus then we spent a  lot of money for nothing.  Seems that no one can get a straight answer about the Classic Package.

Thanks Sidari, will take this with me On Seaside 26th Jan.....just in case

Not a case of kicking when down ….I'm a 'victim' here too though in a different way as I add the drinks closer to sailing date. But I can really see them 'hiding' behind the new prices & wanting in the example within this thread the .50c per drink purchased via the on-board account....Nasty

The same goes for the beers and wines, if the new drink pricing holds true there will be extremely few choices left for Classic package people.  I went with classic for the beer choices, but I guess I'll be drinking a lot of liquor since they were listed by brand.

 

ETA: If someone is currently on board Seaside or Divina we really would like to see some pictures of current bar menus!

Seaview in the Med has the old menus currently.

 

R2C ... If the bar tenders refuse, then ask for the Food and Beverages Manager to attend and show him the list and if you have it the response from MSC USA that says the package will be honoured as was.

Are you attending a meet and mingle at all ? that would be a good place to bring it up.

The problem I predict is you'll have to do that every time you want a drink as every employee in every bar would have to know that you've got an exception.  That would wear me down.  But that's likely what they're hoping will happen.

I will definitely be bringing this up during the M & G!

The sad thing is, I can get no written notification from MSC, I have emailed them but they have not emailed back.

Do you have a list like this for Med cruises please.

[sidari]

Not at the minute, if I come across any I will post them here.

Thank you very much.

This is the package we have included with our April Caribbean/transat cruise which we booked in February 2018.  Cannot see that it equates with titles of the packages listed 🤔

[sidari]

That is because the package quoted on your documents is one that was used on Med cruises.
