There appear to be 2 different menus. One for Robbie and one for the Starship Club. Robbie charges £18 per cocktail whereas Starship has range from £11 -£18. The 2 alcoholic coffee drinks are £10. I don’t believe either are included in the PP drinks package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ziggyuk Posted May 21, 2021 #32 Share Posted May 21, 2021 They just said Simon Calder will be reporting onboard a cruise ship in the channel on Rip Off Britain today so I can only assume he is onboard the Virtuosa. Starts at 9.30 this morning. Will be interesting, especially with the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare marielco Posted May 21, 2021 #33 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Great to see the bar menu thank you. I hope you will do the same with the dinner menus. Never sailed on MSC before but booked for September. So interested to see what the food on offer us like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the Plus drinks add on, are you billed onboard or when you add it to your booking? We have onboard credit we'd ideally use to pay for some of the difference. We bought the upgrade prior to departure as that way you do not pay the onboard service charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the South Cast near Southampton and we have gale force winds tonight, certainly testing weather for the sailaway. Have a great time & thanks for the updates. She is stable. Cabins creek a fair bit so recommend eating plugs 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu UK Posted May 21, 2021 Author #40 Share Posted May 21, 2021 A few first day menus from Blue Danube. You are allocated a restaurant and it’s open seating.

Our planner shows £13 per day to upgrade, I'm guessing £15 onboard as that's the difference between the prices on the drink package thread on the main MSC board.
