I like that MSC includes the gratuities on the drink package unlike NCL where it is extra and that is US.

Exactly right. We pay for our cabin and port charges only, prior to boarding. At the end we pay the DSC and that's it. No hidden extras. MSC represents a great value for us (but so does NCL, even though they structure the costs differently). To the extent that MSC's YC is comparable to NCL's Haven, the YC is an amazing bargain.

I was referring to the general gratuities, not the ones for the drink package
