uCruiser Posted July 22, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 22, 2018 What is the service charge for the included drink package? Is that included in the $12.50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cullyman15 Posted July 22, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 22, 2018 What is the service charge for the included drink package? Is that included in the $12.50? No you will still be charged an additional 15% for each drink ordered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uCruiser Posted July 22, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 22, 2018 No you will still be charged an additional 15% for each drink ordered So it's based on what I actually drink? I like that a lot better than NCL. To their "free" included drink package they add $250 in service charge for a 7 day cruise. I would need to drink for $1,666 on MSC to reach that amount in service charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted July 22, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 22, 2018 What is the service charge for the included drink package? Is that included in the $12.50? If you're referring to the 'Drinks on Us' included package, you'll pay 15% service charge on anything ordered. There is no service charge added on the all-inclusive Classic drinks package (which is often included as a promotion) - just to clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbe Posted July 22, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Is it the same $12.50/day for the Yacht Club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWolf Posted July 22, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Is it the same $12.50/day for the Yacht Club? Yes, that’s correct. $12.50 service charge per person per night in YC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbe Posted July 22, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Thanks for your reply, that's a lot better than NCL. Do you know if the butler and concierge get a share of the service charge. I know on NCL they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know on NCL they don't. I don’t know for sure but I hope they get a share of the service charge. My first MSC cruise in YC is in September, I have not talked with any YC butler about this topic.

Shidah Posted July 24, 2018 #21 Share Posted July 24, 2018 So it's based on what I actually drink? I like that a lot better than NCL. To their "free" included drink package they add $250 in service charge for a 7 day cruise. I would need to drink for $1,666 on MSC to reach that amount in service charges. Well, that would be for 2 people, so you personally would only need to drink $833 on a 7 day cruise, or 119 a day, so roughly 8 - 10 drinks a day depending on price. For us, that is easy to do starting with mimosas in the morning and not stopping all day. But if you are a light drinker or a port intensive cruise where you are off the ship a lot, it could be a better deal. For us we would likely be paying more.

But if you are a light drinker or a port intensive cruise where you are off the ship a lot, it could be a better deal. For us we would likely be paying more. Good catch! That's for two people. I'm definitely not a light drinker on a cruise, but I not so sure about $833. Beer @ $5 each would be 24 beer per day. The fruity MSC signature drinks are $7.25 so that would be 16 drinks per day. We could maybe get somewhere near that amount the first couple of days, but not all 7 days. We tend to slow down a bit towards the end of the cruise. I think we will save some $$ on MSC vs NCL, but not enough to let it determine if we should cruise with one or another. Anyway, I'm looking forward to my first MSC cruise in September!! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
