We've mostly sailed Disney and RC, but are looking to maybe do an MSC cruise with friends next December. I've been pricing some cruises, but for the life of me can't find some info on the website. My wife and I are not really drinkers, so buying the alcohol package doesn't make sense. However, we may like to have the package which includes pop. There are descriptions on the site, but no prices. As I haven't booked a cruise yet, how do I find out how much it would cost to add this? Do I have to add this for everyone in the cabin, or can I just choose 1 person?
Other questions:
1) Not sure what the deposit is for MSC cruises, but if I were to cancel before final payment, is the deposit refunded?
2) Friends were just on an MSC cruise and said it would have cost $18 to attend entertainment. From what I read on the website, entertainment is included. Which is true?
3) I've also been told that once you book a cruise you can't get a partial refund if you see the price has decreased. Should I wait for one of their sales before booking?
4) If we don't purchase a pop package, what does MSC provide free?
5) Are you allowed to bring pop/water, etc. onboard at embarkation?
That's all I can think of for now.
