I know you can get Beer,House Wines, Basic Rum,Vodka,Gin,Scotch,Bourban and Non Alcoholic drinks... but what about about call drinks.. like Bacardi or Absolut or Jack mixed drinks? Cosmos, Straw Daqs, or any Frozen drinks with Alcohol?

Also, see here one of the generic bar menus. If you have the classic package, anything with no asterisk is included (so tons of frozen drinks etc.) If you have the deluxe, then the one asterisk drinks are also included.

Can you clarify if you're referencing the 'Drinks on Us' package? Sounds like it from the list of drinks you reckon are included. If so, here's a link to what's included (and also what's included in the other packages):

Think it's $26/day on 7 night cruise. Advisable to upgrade prior to sailing to avoid 15% service charge.

$364 for 2 for the week if done in advance. We did it for our sailing (tomorrow!); I'll report back

Yes that's what we paid for our Dec 29 sailing. Please report back. Specifically, with regards to room service - is delivery charge and items ordered off the room service menu included with the deluxe package if booked in Fantastica cabin?

Enjoy your sailing on MSC! Hope it lives up to expectations. Will be our first time on that line.

The delivery charge, as well as items from the room service menu - except pizza - ARE included for Fantastica 'Experience' cabins (and categories above) with the Deluxe package. The question is whether the delivery charge is covered for Bella guests when they have the Deluxe package as Bella is the only category that is not covered for breakfast delivery.

Thanks Bea!

Thanks for the info

Thanks Bea!

You're welcome! :)

I'm hoping someone can come on and answer the question definitively. I've never had a Bella cabin so I've never had the need to find out. However, it would be good to know for future reference. I was going to ask last week when we were on Poesia, but I just couldn't face trying to explain at Guest Services why I wanted to know when I was in an Aurea cabin (without a deluxe package). My experience has always been, when looking for information, that the crew don't fully understand why you're asking about something that doesn't relate to you, your cabin or your booking! :rolleyes:

Hi ...I don't think we really want to upgrade our whole Classic package for our 2 week Divina cruise, but can anyone tell me what wines by the glass are inc in the Classic package please. If there is a particular wine I like that is priced at over the $7.50( is that the benchmark for Classic?) then can I pay the extra difference for that one glass, or do I get charged the whole amount? Thanks

You have the pay the full price - plus 15% service charge.

It depends on the region you'll be sailing as to what wines will be on offer. There is a better selection when sailing from the US than there is on a Med cruise.

Thanks, that really seems most unfair! Looks like I will "Learn to Love Plonk" then, or "Cocktails of the Day", or ......anything at all that is on the Classic list.:champagne-toast::tropical-drink::cocktail::wine-glass:

Helpful as ever, Ric :D

I noticed you didn't thank me for my review ... did I say something, somewhere, sometime, to offend you? :confused:
