ocbaylady Posted July 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I was wondering if Bacardi Rum is one of the drinks included on the Easy Package. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguyinorl Posted July 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2019 The comparison chart shows the following spirits for the Easy Package: Selection of house spirits: Dewar's WL, Seagram's 7,Jim Beam, Bacardi, Beefeater, Smirnoff Guess you are in luck!

heatherb1958 Posted July 14, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Seems that they have improved the selection on the Easy package. A new menu posted on social media shows an increase in the number of cocktails available under Easy. They probably had a lot of complaints about the limited choice yet the price was only 10 or 20 cents more for a preferred brand which did not make sense. See the difference in these photos. The first one I took in Feb on the Meraviglia, the second was posted recently on social media although I notice my menu is in Euros and the second one is in Dollars it appears .

With that and only one beer available under 6 euro we upgraded our package onboard. It wasn't much and was well worth the cost. hth Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted July 21, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I haven't seen anything other than what I've posted. The drinks packages for US sailings have always been more comprehensive than Med sailings ones, though they were more expensive, too. However, there's very little difference in the price for the Easy package between US-based and Europe-based sailings, which makes it a moot point. It would be more understandable for the higher-cost packages (Premium and Prem+) as the difference is price is more substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dgshooter Posted July 21, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Too bad Aperol Sprits is not on the easy package. Love those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found the Europe choices very disappointing, setting a limit of 6 euro when most drinks were 6.10 was a big let down for most of our fellow travellers . Luckily it was not too much to upgrade for the two of us. Our next cruise on MSC Armonia we have gone premium but its out of Miami so will be interesting to see the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting. We had already upgraded to premium due to the minimal Easy menu. We could easily live with this new menu and save the cash. They better be prepared for some unhappy campers if they will not refund the upgrade amount if this menu is the new standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From experience , they won't refund once you step foot onboard. Your best best is to try to get it refunded prior to sailing. Bret 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vallemic Posted July 24, 2019 #14 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Thanks for posting these photos. So I'm assuming that drinks like mojitos, Miami Vice, Mai Tai, Pina Colada would fall under the Premium Package? For those who upgraded drink packages, do you remember how much (on the Seaside out of Miami)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're asking how much it costs to upgrade from Easy ($35 pppd) to Premium ($62 pppd), it's $27 pppd (plus 15% service charge if done onboard, which isn't added if done before sailing).

It's a no-brainer for Euros sailings as it's only €10 pppd to upgrade 😜 We have a non-YC, East Med sailing booked for Spring next year and I've immediately added the Premium to the booking (no way could I settle for Easy and no need for Prem+ as Premium has everything we want covered 👍 😎). At €39 that's a bargain!! 🍾🍸🍷🍹 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I stick with the Easy Drink Package and decide to purchase a drink not included in that package, will I be charged the full amount of that drink or do I get a $6 credit off that drink (as a $6 limit is included in the Easy Package)? Thanks again for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingFox27 Posted July 24, 2019 #20 Share Posted July 24, 2019 If you purchase a drink outside of your package it's the full price of the drink, plus the 15% service charge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
