Hi there, so glad when things work out better than expected!

Wondering if you needed a converter or just an adapter for the plugs.   We are boarding the Seaside this Sat. and are from Canada so I know we at least need an adapter.

Does anyone know if you have to pay for regular coffee and tea onboard the Seaside?

I rechecked our paperwork and it does not say anything except "each person will get 12 drink vouchers".   There is no rate description.  We booked around the 1st of November.  I also called MSC who told me they no longer offer purchase of extra drink vouchers on board HOWEVER the ship may still offer them.   LOL - not really a definitive answer.  

lol   thank u

Hello, sorry but what does

You'd have to call, AFAIK.

mean?

Hope they still have that when we go on Dec. 22!

Thank you very much, this is helpful.   I guess you did not buy an extra beverage package - only used the vouchers & that was enough?   

Yes booked the winter sale.  I am ok with 12 alcoholic beverages a week, wouldn't drink that much at home but wish I could get my gelato and coffee.  Oh well - perhaps I can use my vouchers for those things!   

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Wow. Thank you for this.  Must say this is the most confusing vacation I have ever booked.  I called  MSC but they knew nothing about me being able to choose anything other than an upgrade to the current package I am getting - ie: 12 beverage vouchers.  She also did not know whether we EACH got 12 vouchers, or if it was for the cabin.  She also did not know if the Easy Drink package included the gelato.  I do want my specialty coffee and my gelato!

Oh I see, well looks like it was processed on Nov. 1.

I booked for dep. Dec. 22 2018.

We are new to cruising & booked the christmas seaside cruise dep. Miami on Dec. 22 on a last minute whim.   

I am finding it very difficult to understand what is and what is not included with the drink packages.  For instance, is gelato/ice cream included? Non alcoholic special coffee (cappuccino, latte)?    Are the drink packages worth it?  For instance I do like a glass or 2 of prosecco once in a while, whereas my husband drinks a bit more.   I do love my gelato/ice cream & especially capuccinos.

Also our booking says we get 12 drink vouchers but does not say whether that is per person or per cabin.  I called the MSC canadian number but the girl did not know the answers to these questions.

We have also been looking at the vast array of spa packages, mind boggling to say the least, but wondering how one would fit all these treatments in if we are only at sea for 2 days and presumably in port and exploring the other 4 days.   If anyone has any experience with these things, I would appreciate a word of advice or two.

From what I understand it is better to book all these extra 'packages' before you go on your cruise as it is more expensive once you board.

Thanks to all!
