Weby72 Posted May 11, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2019 We have the old All Inclusive Drinks Package, which I understand is Code431. Looking at the table showing the breakdown of what specific drinks are included, the only wine option listed as included is "Wines with the price over €10". Has anyone in the same situation (431 Code package) had any practical experience of what wine they can choose? It seems logical that it's a printing error, because why would they include wines over €10 but not wines below €10? But would appreciate feedback from someone who's experienced how it works. Also, there's no sparkling wines included according that list. Again is this correct? Or can anyone confirm differently? The list to which I refer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted May 11, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2019 You're right about it being a typo. The included wines on the 431 package are very basic (but passable). Scroll down to post #70 for the photos of the menus on the following link. Anything without an asterisk is/was included in 431. You will see that there's a choice between 2 sparkling wines on the "All-inclusive Selections" page: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2421028-live-from-meraviglia/page/3/ However, they may have been removed from your package, since last November. MSC tends to reduce the inclusions year on year. I haven't sailed in Europe since the introduction of the new packages (the drinks prices also increased at the same time and some items were removed from the old packages, too).

Weby72 Posted May 11, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Thanks for the reply, that's great help. Has anyone actually put this into practice on one of the MSC ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royc Posted May 12, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) We just returned from the Splendida and had the All Inclusive Drinks package with the pre November 2018 booking 431 code. Not sure how it compares to Bellissima but there were 3 house wines offered, a red, white and rose. My wife drank the white and rose and thought they were just okay. There was also a “Prosecco” type of sparkling wine available. Edited May 12, 2019 by royc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewanderingtwo Posted May 13, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 13, 2019 We had the old package on Lirica in March, two reds, two white, rose & prosecco. Our pick was the French Cabernet & Italian Grillo (sorry don't remember brands). The other two were Canti brand Merlot & Chardonnay, both a little bland in our view. The rose was quite dry, might have expected it to be a bit more fruity, at least it wasn't pink zinfandel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted May 13, 2019 #6 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) You're entitled to a choice of 2 sparkling, 2 reds and 2 whites as well as 1 rosè. There are 7 in total under the €6 price limit (the following photo courtesy of CeleryCruiser): Here's photos of one of the reds and the 2 whites on offer: Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Edited May 13, 2019 by Beamafar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser man 60 Posted May 13, 2019 #7 Share Posted May 13, 2019 We had the 431 in January on Splendida and it's the wines as shown above, the Grillo was just about ok with dinner but we didn't think much of the Canti. The prosecco was fine but not top notch. We didn't try the reds. Certainly wouldn't pick them out of choice and only had them in MDR with meal, had G&T , beer etc at bars.

Rare Beamafar Posted May 13, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I agree CM ... I chose the Grillo when we had 431. The only white I could drink on the 432 was the Woodbridge chardonnay (I usually have white with lunch and/or with fish and red with dinner).

puri1 Posted May 14, 2019 #9 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Hi Guys im not sure if this is the write topic but since that use to be the part of the packages before so I think this where I ask question. I just recently booked my cruise bellissima for January 2020. So ill be buying the new packages well I want to go for the non alcoholic packages but the only thing the packages does not include anymore is the Gelatos which is very sad for us. But now that it not in the package what options do we have ? are they any coupons they sell on board for the gelatos because msccrusieusa website does not have any coupon options to purchase. So please help thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser man 60 Posted May 14, 2019 #10 Share Posted May 14, 2019 They don't sell coupons, you just pick what you want and then the cost will be added to your account which you pay at the end. dont know cost but I think it was 2 euros per scoop on Splendida.

But what about the frozen slush drinks and the milkshakes they are still included with the drink package ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
