Wine Packages


14 Days or Longer

Recommended Posts

We have tried to get information about the wine packages for our December sailing. We went through our TA and she had to make 8 phone calls before MSC came through with some information.

We thought that we could request this information from MSC but they referred us back to the TA,who had only prices and not descriptions of the wines.

Does anyone have information on the wines being offered in these packages?

MSC seems to have forgotten that Americans from the USA enjoy wine with their meals.

Thanks for any information.

Check out the MSC Roll call for the Feb 27 or 28 ? sailing of the Orchestra...by memory there is a link regarding Wine and drink menu's...seemed VERY reasonable...a glass of the house wine was $3.50 and the comments I recived was that it was enjoyable.

This may help - I posted back in June or July -

 

from the Musica in June, this was a European trip, so in Euros, but may give you an idea:

 

Wine packages available -

 

Classic - 4 wine (2 white, 2 red, I think) + 7 mineral water = E79

Superior - 7 wine (3w, 3r, 1rose) + 7 mineral = E129

Prestige - 5 wine (2w, 2r,1 rose) + 7 mw = E 139

Solo Bianchi - 6 premium white wine + 7 mw = E 149

Solo Rossi - 6 premium red wine + 7 mw = E 149

 

From the wine list bottles started at about 19E.

A glass of house wine about 3.7 or 4E

 

The beer package is 63E for 14 large beer, or 32E for 14 small beer.

 

There's also a cocktail package - 12 cocktails - your choice - for 63E.

 

And soft drinks 14 for 28E.

 

Junior card - 5 soft drinks, 5 non-alcoholic cocktails - 31 E

 

10 Fresh fruit smoothies package - 38E

 

10 ice cream cones - 20E

 

You can buy the packages at embarkation or any time during your trip.

 

The tips are included in the cost of drinks.

It's possible that for Orchestra cruise in January (and probably all MSC Cruises in Europe during winter) prices will be slightly different:

 

MSC 14 large beer cans 57$

MSC 14 small beer cans 33$

 

MSC Classic Wine Package 83€ (1 white, 2 red, 1 rose + 7 bottles of mineral water)

MSC Superior Wine Package 138€ (3 white, 3 red, 1 rose + 7 bottles of mineral water)

MSC Your Choice Wine Package 7 bottles 110€

MSC Your Choice Wine Package 10 bottles 159€

 

MSC Junior Package (5 virgin delights + 5 sodas) 28$

 

MSC soda package (14 soda cans) 25$

 

It's probably possible that prices will be somewhere in the middle from this prices and prices in previous post, because of recent disturb economic situation.

 

This is more or less orientation for everybody.

 

Cheers

It's not just US citizens that enjoy wine with their meals, so it's not so much rthat MSC forget but rather that you cant purchase them in advance and they normally provide all the details (including the actual wines themselves at embarkation which is the earliest point you can buy the package. You can also buy them later on, onboard.

 

The prices already quoted by other posters, fit in with what i've experienced over the past 3 years.

 

the choice is fairly wide if you are ordering from the wine list directly. I can personally recommend the Amarone di valpocella as a special treat from their premium list - it is amazing. Howevr you dont have to pay $100 to get a good wine - the Italian house white and red are perfectly fine too, as are all the others in between. there is another advantage to the house wine over bottles - you can get it by the glass or by carafe and it tends to arrive quicker as they have it in the dining room itself, whereas they seem to keep the bottles somewhere else and it takes them a wee bit longer to retrieve them from whereever it is they store them!
