Yet Another Drinks Question

[Junior1997]

We are taking the November 30th sailing on MSC Poesia with our two kids (3 and 6) and both sets of Grandparents.

I know that many have asked this, but I would just like to confirm:

Are water, iced tea, and coffee free?
Is there a plan for kids for unlimited juice/milk?

Thank you very much in advance!!!

They are free unless you ask for bottled water. Make sure you say ice water. Yes the coffee is free. There is juice in the dining rooms at dining times and at the buffet. I would suggest getting some for the day in a cup and bringing some to your cabin if you need more than they offer. Also, for milk, they have cartons, just take a few for the children to have during the day. Store them in the refrig in the room. Have your cabin steward remove all the other stuff in there when you board. They do charge for the stuff eaten or drunk. Have fun. We are also on this cruise. Cannot wait. It has a nice itinerary.

FYI: On Lirica in August the cabin attendant refused to empty our refrigerator. Not sure if this is MSC policy or like other things varies by sailing. I was not able to get an unlimited drink package for my daughter but purchased soft drink packages so she could have juice at meals other than breakfast. She got bottles of juice from the bars and a glass of juice at dinner. The first night the assistant waiter tried to tell us that juice would not be available. We insisted, however, that we bought the package specifically so she could have juice with her dinner. After that he brought it each evening without even being asked. The water/tea/coffee issue rages on the MSC forum. MSC is not consistent across their sailings on this point but apparently you should have them available on Caribbean sailings.
