Free Drink Package

[justadreamaway77]

New to MSC.  We are a family of 4 and our cruise package included the Easy Plus Drink package.  Will all four of us receive the same package (including our 16 year old twins......yes, I know they won't be able to get alcohol but what about the non-alcoholic stuff?)

Welcome to CC!

 

Underage cruisers will receive the non-alcoholic package.

Usually under those promotions, only the first 2 individuals in a cabin have a discounted drinks package. For minors it is then mandated to purchase the minors package, so, yes, all of you have the package.

 

As per the non alcoholic stuff, for both the adult and the minors is made of pretty much all things nonalcoholic sold aboard, except items from the specialty coffee place, some canned sodas and specialty drinks from the Spa bar. Incredibly, those "little nothings" do add to an account really. One or 2 specialty coffees, some bottles of water, some fountain soda, some juices, even if not freshly squeezed and the odd mocktail here and there are very nice to have.

I've got a question. What if I have 3 in a cabin, Two adults and a 16 year old and  book a cabin that  doesn't include the drink package..? If we want to purchase a separate Easy drink package for the two adults would we be required to purchase a non-alcoholic drink package for the 16 year old ?

Everyone in the cabin must have some sort of drink package if you both purchase.

Each person in cabin need to have the same package. Minors would have the minors version of it, which is non alcoholic at a discounted rate.

that's not true in every case. We got the "free Easy Plus and Wifi" promotion at the time of booking of a Caribbean cruise. We all know it's not actually free, but that's what MSC calls it.  Both adults have the Easy Plus and Wifi, while the child automatically got the Minor Package. We didn't have to purchase a package for him separately.

As in many other MSC aspects, your home market matters. Here in Portugal they have never sold an automatic kids package to the promotion and those interested would pay it separately. And by the most part, only the basic Easy is routinely offered as a promotion here, not Easy Plus! Thanks to the contribution.
