MSC Yacht Club provides a private paradise at sea. This all-inclusive hideaway, which includes an exclusive Butler service, reflects the elegance of cruising on a private yacht with all the facilities of the largest ships right outside your door.

MSC is well aware that, among other things, the stomach is the gateway to a guest’s heart. Therefore, MSC strive to serve the yacht club menu with exclusivity. There are four components to the MSC Yacht Club menu:

• MSC Yacht Club Breakfast menu
• MSC Yacht Club Lunch menus
• MSC Yacht Club Dinner menus
• MSC Yacht Club Drinks menu

 In this post, I’ll go over each of these individually. So let’s get going.

MSC Yacht Club Breakfast Menu

The breakfast menu at the MSC Yacht Club is the same every morning, so guests may start their days with their go-to favorites. The breakfast menu includes light continental meal along with hot and freshly made dishes.

Enjoy traditional eggs benedict, indulge in a custom omelet, or choose from a range of other breakfast favorites. You can always find a satisfying breakfast to fuel your day’s activities because the MSC Yacht Club menu is consistent.

MSC Yacht Club Lunch Menus

The lunch menu of the MSC Yach Club has a dynamic array of choices in 5 different sections namely,

• Bakery items and
• a section called “Always Available” having Caeser Sald, Pennette Pasta and & Angus Beef Burger

Among these 5 sections, Starters and Entrée sections’ dishes change daily for surprising and delighting your palate. Food items coming under “Always Available”, Desserts and Bakery remain same. 

This allows guests to relish in their favorite dishes.  The daily variations in Starters and Entrée section ensure there’s always something new to try. If you want a light salad or a hearty entrée, the MSC Yatch Club lunch options cater to your tastes and preferences.

This Cruise Life

Msc yacht club menus (2024) with pictures.

In January, we sailed on MSC Meraviglia for a 9-night cruise. Each night, we dined at the private Top Sail Restaurant – exclusive to Yacht Club guests. Because food is such an important part of our cruise experience, we captured every dinner menu to share with you.

To make it easier to digest (see what I did there!!), we’ve split the 9 dinners into 3 separate pages, complete with photos of the food. Scroll down to see just how well we ate during the course of our cruise!

MSC Yacht Club – Night One Dinner Menu

For our first dinner in the Yacht Club Top Sail Lounge, we each enjoyed multiple starters and entrées. We both ended our meal with the Tiramisu.

I got the Nordic Salad and the Fire-Roasted Tomato Cream Soup as my Starters. Because I couldn’t decide on my meal, I got two: the Tortellini Stuffed with Asparagus and Mascarpone Cheese along with the Punjabi Tadka.

MSC Yacht Club – Night Two Dinner Menu

The second night in the Top Sail Lounge was the Gala Dinner (aka, Formal Night). There were so many wonderful options on the menu, and we, once again, each ordered several appetizers!

I ordered the Williams Salad and Burgundy Snails (fun fact: escargot is one of my favorite starters). For my entrée, I ordered the Champagne Risotto. While I won’t rehash our Yacht Club Food Review on YouTube here, let’s just say it was one of the best dishes I had in the Yacht Club. I ended my meal with the Crepes Suzette.

MSC Yacht Club – Night Three Dinner Menu

Our third dinner in the Yacht Club’s Top Sail Lounge was no different than our previous nights; we couldn’t decide what to order! So, both Rocky and I each got several appetizers. I stuck with the risotto for my main as I enjoyed it so much the previous night and I finished off with the evening’s featured dessert.

To start, I had the Cream of Argenteuil Asparagus Soup from the “Deliciously Healthy” section of the menu. Side note: I find it kind of funny that the Deliciously Healthy section is placed directly under the full Desserts menu. haha

I also enjoyed the fried Asiago Cheese Fritters (definitely not from the Deliciously Healthy section). For my main, I ordered the Truffle Risotto. Again, I don’t want to give too much away, but WOW. This was fantastic; I highly recommend. Finally, for dessert I ordered the Cherries Jubilee which was flambéed by the maître d’. Extra points for both presentation and flavor. Once again, another highly recommended dish.

Yacht Club Drink Package Explanation from MSC (after the recent package changes)

By kevinrobedm , January 31, 2019 in MSC Cruises

Recommended Posts

kevinrobedm

I asked MSC to clarify what the drink package is for Yacht Club passengers with all the changes to the packages after the last few months.  I got an official response and thought I would share with everyone as the more information we all have, the better.  We are in a YC suite on the Splendida in March and wanted to be clear on what we could expect.

Some of the wording I am not 100% sure of and have asked for some clarifications.  I will post them when I get it but at least this is a start and is from MSC directly since there has been a lot of third party discussions.

Thanks so much.  I am more confident we will have the same experience as our last cruise. Just wish a small daily selection of gelato would be added to Top Sail or pool grill.

We are pretty typical American drinkers so a not so wide selection of champagnes is not a deal breaker. Martinis. an excellent  blended Canadian whiskey sour prepared to taste, an occasional Jameson,  and Hendrick's and tonic and we are good to go.  As long as we continue to get a better quality house pour (not the red or white the servers are pushing that night) red blend and a nice Sauvignon Blanc for dinner.

if the YC Director wants to throw in a special Whisky tasting we wouldn't pass it up. 😁

"Thanks so much.  I am more confident we will have the same experience as our last cruise. Just wish a small daily selection of gelato would be added to Top Sail or pool grill."

FYI - - Although not mentioned on the menus, gelato is available for dessert in the YC. They usually have three flavors in my experience; vanilla, chocolate, and a third flavor that seemed to vary.

Sounds like Venchi is excluded in its entirety. It's also interesting that they don't equate the YC package to any of the other offered packages.

It was included in the old deluxe package, and continues to be honoured if you booked that package pre the package changes oct/nov 2018 which means that the new premium package excludes such.

I forgot about this.  Yes it is.  If you order ice cream, it's definitely gelato.  I often ordered vanilla "ice cream" topped with fresh strawberries.  🙂   

The did tell me that the YC package outside of the YC area is not a specific package but somewhere between Premium and Premium Plus.  Not sure how they can't know for sure.

stateroom mini bar still included??

I was told that the mini-bar was still included althought it does not say that on the list.

Sorry I did know about gelato on the restaurant menu, but I was just thinking about the anytime availability. My bad on possible confusion.

Is the gelato the same as in Venchi or is it different?

When we had it on the Seaview, Venchi was much better than the YC so I would say no but it could have been just us.

13 minutes ago, kevinrobedm said: When we had it on the Seaview, Venchi was much better than the YC so I would say no but it could have been just us.

Thanks...and that makes sense because the Venchi gelato was removed from the YC inclusive stuff. If it was the same, why remove it? :)

That is absolutely the case, and it also includes minibar.....all of it, drinks/snacks.

Hendricks is now in the "Connoisseurs Selection" so may not be available without charge in YC as it's now only included in PremiumPlus.  I'll be checking that out in August!  (Not happy that yet another favourite has been removed from the old Deluxe package, which we have for our next 2 cruises).

Sounds to me that the included package in YC is Premium, which is very similar to the old Deluxe package, except for the loss of gelato, room service items and mini-bar (the latter 2 referring to non-YC cabins).

The gelato that's served in the MDRs isn't the same quality as what's served at the gelato bar - hence the charge for "the good stuff".

3 hours ago, kevinrobedm said: When we had it on the Seaview, Venchi was much better than the YC so I would say no but it could have been just us.

I am not convinced that the YC Resturant offers gelato without a passenger asking for gelato specifically. The dinner menus only list "ice cream" (also sorbet if I remember correctly) not gelato. Seems to me that if they were offering gelato then the menus would say so and not ice cream. I would guess that you had ice cream in the YC and gelato at Venchi which is why you noticed the difference.

On the other hand, I am not sure why they (MSC) would make both ice cream and gelato. The difference (ingredients, etc.) between the two is minimal and it would seem to me to be more difficult to make both and distribute each throughout the ship than just make one or the other. On other lines, such as Celebrity, gelato is only available at one location and ice cream at all other places on the ship.

No, Joe, say it ain't so..... 😁    sorry for a very American sports allusion.  I found nothing more over the top than the pool deck bar keeping the Hendrick's in the fridge so as not to melt the ice in my gin and tonic too quickly.

Dream on ... you'll have to settle for Canada Dry (which was very acceptable, I must say!)   🙂

citizenfrank

At least there seems to be some clarity finally for YC passengers, I think it is significant that there is now no confirmed link of the YC offering to any regular package, least not an exact match.

With all this now becoming clearer, slooooowly I will add! ....The now old Deluxe is the diamond in the Crown. 

I have it on my next sailing next month, but I wish I'd booked more sailings before the amnestis!!

That Deluxe platform is worth black market trading!! lol

Bea... After beer, cider, wine and cocktails I enjoy gin too (though not always with tonic!) ...just remind me what I'll get under Deluxe with regards to the GIN as I thought Hendricks was in?

It will be interesting to see if they will give me any Champagne!

Frank ... in 2017 we did 2 cruises where we only had the basic drinks package due to the constant removal of top brands from the old Premium/Deluxe and upgrading drinks from the basic package into the Deluxe one.  To us, it wasn't worth the increased prices for lower-end products.  I went from being able to get Remy Martin XO, to then only getting Janneau XO, 'til that, too, was put into the 2 asterisk range.

Now MSC has done the same with Hendricks.  The gins included under the "Premium" heading on the bar menu were Bombay Sapphire East, Tanqueray Nº TEN and Plymouth.  Aviation and Hendricks are the 2 being offered in the "Connoisseurs Selection" which would be included in the PremiumPlus package (for now, anyway.  Who knows how long Aviation will last, 'til it's removed and Bombay Sapphire East replaces it!  I guess it may depend on how many people actually upgrade to Prem+.  I never looked into upgrading our Deluxe on Armonia, so don't know what the cost would be).

SC ... I posted elsewhere about my experience re Champagne on Armonia.  I had no problems with ordering NF other than it wasn't available in one of the bars and they substituted it with Cordon Rouge.

I am just confirming with MSC but what we were told is that we get whatever package was in place when you booked the cruise.  Others on Cruise Critic have said the same thing. We booked this cruise in September of 2017.  The package that was in place for YC guests wash the All Inclusive Deluxe Drink Package. Since MSC has now re-done their packages it is hard to know what was in one vs the other unless you have the comparison guide.  I am posting comparison guide that was in place prior to the drink package changes.  For those of you that booked prior to the package change (roughly in September/October 2018), if you are in the YC, you should be receiving the All Inclusive Deluxe Package.  The attached .pdf shows what was in the packages prior to the changes.  Hopefully I will get official confirmation from MSC today and I will let everyone know what they tell me.

The same should apply to anyone that is not YC, it should be the package that was in place when you made the booking.

Again the more everyone knows, the better off we all are.

For us the point of all this is that we work hard for the money we get paid. When we book an experience like the YC it is a hefty amount of money that you spend based on a certain experience MSC presents. We understand times change and packages change (and this is totally within MSC's choice to do this) but as a customer you are entitled to get what you paid for, not a substitution.  That is our belief anyway.

MSC 2018 Drink Package Comparison Guide.pdf

Not sure what you're trying to say in that post.  If MSC removes items from the included list for a particular drinks package, it's irrelevant what was included when you booked.  I've booked many cruises where MSC changed what was included in the packages before we sailed.  They never 'grandfathered' the inclusions (it would be impossible to do this).  Same thing happened with the reduction in benefit for a couple who were both Black Card members from each getting a complimentary meal for 2 in the speciality restaurants to only one person of the 2 getting the benefit ... despite the fact that people had booked before the change, they still experienced the loss of benefit.

The change in the drinks packages is a different matter, altogether!

MSC Cruises Drink Packages & Prices (UPDATED)

 On a recent MSC Cruise, I booked an aft balcony with a special rate that included the “Easy Package”. I really had no idea what to expect since I never booked an MSC Cruise with a beverage package in the past.

Upon embarking, I was told by staff how the Easy Package didn’t include much and couldn’t be used at a specialty dining restaurant. With that information, I paid a nominal upgrade on the spot to the “Easy Plus” package to make sure I had more choices and that I could use the package while dining in every restaurant.

So is a drink package on MSC worth it? Let’s find out!

About the drink packages:

MSC Cruises offers a variety of drink packages for their cruises, including the “Easy” package, “Easy Plus” package, “Premium Extra” package, an Alcohol-Free package for minors, and a Minors package. The packages range in price and offerings, with the Easy Plus package allowing for more choices and access to specialty dining restaurants. Recent changes include gratuity now being included in the pricing. It’s important to understand what each package includes and excludes before making a decision.

Quick things to know:

• MSC Cruises offers various drink packages like the “Easy,” “Easy Plus,” “Premium Extra,” Alcohol-Free, and Minors package.
• Prices range from $19/day for the Minors package to $85/day for the Premium Extra package.
• The Easy Plus package offers more options and includes access to specialty dining restaurants for an additional cost (best value)
• Drink package prices include gratuity
• Drink packages CAN BE USED on Ocean Cay
• If your package doesn’t cover the drink cost, just pay the difference!
• The Mini bar in the cabin is not included in any package
• Everyone in the cabin needs to purchase the same drink package (excluding minors)

MSC Drink Package Prices

Depending on which you choose, you can get a package for as little as $19/day (Minors) – but the most popular package is the Easy Plus Package which starts at $61/day. The good news is that MSC Is running quite a few promotions that INCLUDE the Easy Plus Package ! Take a look at their promotions here.

What do the drink packages on MSC cruises cost?

We’ll be posting accurate European prices shortly, as they have also changed recently.

MSC Cruises Drink Packages Compared (NEW 2024 prices)

There are 5 drink package options that MSC Cruises offers on its ships including the “Easy” package, “Easy Plus” package, “Premium Extra” Package, and the Alcohol-Free Package (with a different price for minors and adults)

• See : MSC Cruises Bar & Drink Menus with Prices

Easy Drink Package

The “ Easy Package ” is the most basic alcoholic beverage package on MSC Cruises with a cost of $46 per day per adult and is sometimes offered at no charge as a promotion. (This package is $49 per day on short cruises of less than 6 nights and is even more expensive if purchased onboard)

Liquor choices that go into mixed drinks are generic and sometimes off-brand.

The upside to this beverage package is that it also includes bottled water, soft drinks & juices as well as espresso, coffee cappuccino, and other hot drinks (tea, hot chocolate, etc.) With many cruise lines when purchasing a drink package, they often exclude bottled water and coffee drinks. 

So if you are a heavy coffee drinker and enjoy bottled water with a few beers throughout the day, this is likely your good choice. 

This is the package that was included on my Meraviglia cruise with the base cruise fare. Initially, this seemed like a good option as it covers the basics, but some restrictions were inconvenient enough to make me upgrade to the Premium Plus.

An important exception to the Easy Package!

  You CANNOT use the Easy beverage package in any of the specialty restaurants . So if you want a gin & tonic at dinner, you’re out of luck. Even more bizarre, bringing a beverage to dinner is specifically prohibited forcing you to purchase any drinks regardless of price for the time you are in a specialty restaurant. 

MSC Easy Drink Package Menu & What’s Included

The Easy drink package entitles you to any beverage up to $7.50 ( sort of ). For your convenience, menus throughout the ships have a section specifying what’s included in the easy beverage package. However even though some beer prices by the bottle are $7.50 or less, those are EXCLUDED from this package. Strange, right?

For beer, with the Easy Drink Package, the only option is Heineken Draft or sometimes Miller Light, and the wines are off-label or inexpensive brands only marked as “chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel Rose, Cabernet, or Merlot (Plus a random label of sparkling wine or Prosecco). So if you’re not picky, this package may be sufficient. 

Martini | Gin or vodka, dry vermouth, olive or lemon peel Manhattan | Whisky, red vermouth, Angostura bitters Daiquiri | Rum, lime juice, sugar syrup Cosmopolitan | Vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, lime Sidecar | Brandy, triple sec, lemon juice Screwdriver | Vodka, orange juice Margarita | Tequila, triple sec, sweet & sour mix, lime juice Moscow Mule | Vodka, lime, ginger beer Cape Cod | Vodka, cranberry juice Mimosa | Sparkling wine, orange juice Gin Fizz | Gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup, soda Pink Lady | Gin, lemon juice, grenadine Sea Breeze | Vodka, grapefruit juice, cranberry juice Caipiroska | Vodka, diced lime, sugar Blue Hawaiian | Rum, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, coconut cream Tequila Sunrise | Tequila, orange juice, grenadine Bloody Mary | Vodka, tomato juice, salt, pepper, tabasco, Worcestershire sauce Long Island Iced Tea | Vodka, rum, gin, tequila, triple sec, sweet & sour mix, cola Mojito | Rum, fresh mint, lime, sugar, soda Piña Colada | Rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice Strawberry Daiquiri | Rum, strawberry purée, sweet & sour mix

Alcohol-free cocktails included

Nojito | Lime, fresh mint leaves, sugar, Mojito mix, club soda Magic Island | Pineapple, orange and lemon juice, grenadine, Sprite Cuddle on the Beach | Peach purée, orange juice, cranberry juice Royal Punch | Passion fruit purée, pineapple juice, cranberry juice Fruit Smoothie | Orange juice, pineapple juice, grenadine, fresh banana, guava juice, mango purée Coco Colada | Fresh pineapple, coconut cream, pineapple juice, milk Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri | Strawberry purée, sweet & sour mix, sugar syrup

Beer Included in the MSC Easy Drinks Package

Heineken draft beer (ONLY)

For this package, even though bottled beers are less than the price cap of $7.50, they’re specifically excluded. Mindblowing, right? It just adds to the confusion about the MSC Drinks packages.

Sodas Included in the Easy Package

Sodas by the glass, Fruit juices by the glass, Still or sparkling mineral water

Other beverages included

Espresso, Decaf espresso, Cappuccino, Decaf cappuccino, Caffè latte, Glass of milk, Hot chocolate, Hot tea

Is the Easy package worth it?

That really depends. If you drink basic cocktails such as Gin & Tonic, Bloody Mary, Screwdriver , etc, and aren’t picky about the liquor used, the Easy Package may work for you. 

Easy Plus Drink Package

The Easy Plus Package cost is $61 per day , ($64 for shorter cruises of 6 days or less) but you can upgrade from the Easy package for about $23/per day per person

With this beverage package, you can order drinks in specialty dining restaurants as well as anything included in the above Easy package. There are caveats, more on that later.

Any beverages up to $10 are included in this package which gets you all of the beer options, more wine options, and some frozen drink options that aren’t available in the most basic drink package.  There is also a larger range of liquor brands, cordials, and martinis available at this price point.

The Easy Plus Package is the most common drinks package because it includes just about everything that a typical drinker would order. Even better, this package can be used in specialty dining restaurants as well. With recent changes to the beverage packages, the cruise line now allows you to order a drink that is not included in the package and only pay the difference (plus gratuity)

This is what we ultimately upgraded to from our included Easy Package. It was well worth the upgrade not only for the more inclusive offering, but for the simplicity of not having to think about what we were ordering and if it was included.

In addition to the Easy Package, you can also order the following:

Cocktails included:.

Sapphire Martini Bombay Sapphire gin, Martini dry, olive or lemon peel Appletini Absolut Classic and Absolut Vanilia vodka, apple sour liqueur, sweet & sour mix Royal Manhattan Crown Royal, Martini Rosso, Angostura bitters Cuban Daiquiri Bacardi Superior white rum, lime juice, sugar syrup Absolut Cosmo Absolut Citron vodka, Cointreau, cranberry juice, Rose’s lime Spanish Sidecar Cardinal Mendoza brandy, Cointreau, lemon juice, sugar syrup Screwdriver Made in USA T ito’s vodka, orange juice Classic Margarita Jose Cuervo silver tequila, triple sec, sweet & sour mix, lime juice Dutch Mule K etel One vodka, lime, ginger beer Absolut Cape Cod Absolut Classic vodka, cranberry juice Mimosa Blossom Absolut Mango vodka, Galliano, orange juice, prosecco Bombay Fizz Bombay Sapphire gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup, soda Ultimate Pink Lady Beefeater London Dry gin, lemon juice, pomegranate syrup Caribbean Breeze Ketel One vodka, grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, lime Masters of the Sea Caipirinha Premium cachaça, diced lime, sugar Blue Hawaiian Punch Bacardi Superior white rum, Malibu coconut rum, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, coconut cream Aperol Spritz Aperol, prosecco, club soda, orange slice Jalisco Sunrise Jose Cuervo silver tequila, orange juice, grenadine Absolut Bloody Mary Absolut Classic vodka, tomato juice, salt, pepper, tabasco, Worcestershire sauce Ultimate Iced Tea Smirnoff vodka, Bacardi Superior White rum, Beefeater gin, Jose Cuervo silver tequila, triple sec, sweet & sour mix, cola Bacardi Mojito Bacardi Superior white rum, fresh mint leaves, lime, sugar, club soda Mudslide Absolut vodka, Kahlúa coffee liqueur, Baileys Irish Cream, heavy cream Baileys Alexander Baileys Irish Cream, dark crème de cacao, cream

Premium Extra Package

This drinks package allows you to purchase any beverage up to $16 , however, it comes at a high cost of $85.00 / day per person (this can be as much as $104/day if you are on a short cruise and purchase onboard). You can upgrade from a lower-cost beverage package for the difference in price, i.e. if you have the easy package, for approximately $43/day you can upgrade to this Premium package.  (Note: Prices have changed as of March 1, 2023, and this information reflects the newest pricing)

While this package covers most top-shelf liquor, there are still quite a few wines and drinks that are more than $16, so it’s not as inclusive as other cruise lines’ most premium drink packages.

MSC Premium Extra Drink Menu

Most premium liquors can be purchased with this package including Grey Goose, Aviation Gin, Belvedere, etc. (see the menu below). However, there are still plenty of drinks that are strategically priced above $16, making this package far from all-inclusive. Additionally, most of the champagne and decent wine on board is significantly more than the limit allowed by this package. It’s hard to make sense of this package unless your tastes are squarely within the more premium liquor brands included.

A bonus of these drinks packages is the discounting on bottles of wine (25%), but the reality is good bottles of wine are generally only available at The Butchers Cut Steakhouse, so unless you are dining there regularly, that benefit is minimal. 

In addition to the Easy Package & Easy Plus Package, you can also order the following beverages:

Drinks included in the premium extra package:.

Aviation Martini Aviation gin, maraschino liqueur, crème de violette, fresh lemon juice Hemingway Daiquiri Zacapa 23Y rum, fresh lime juice, grapefruit juice, maraschino liqueur Santa Teresa Manhattan Santa Teresa 1796 rum, orange bitters, red vermouth Gold Rush Woodford Reserve bourbon, fresh lemon juice, honey syrup MSC Signature Martini Disaronno liqueur, Grey Goose vodka, Licor 43, lemon peel Mule Le Poire Grey Goose Le Poire vodka, fresh lime juice, ginger beer Shanghai Margarita Patrón Silver tequila, agave nectar, fresh lime juice, fresh ginger zest Chili Passion Caipirinha Premium caçhaca, lime, raw sugar, hot chili sauce, passion fruit, jalapeño

Ultimate Mai Tai Appleton Estate rum, Bacardi Superior white rum, Disaronno liqueur, pineapple and orange juice, sweet & sour mix, grenadine Purple Rain Bacardi Superior white rum, Finlandia vodka, Bombay Sapphire gin, peach schnapps, blue curaçao, sweet & sour mix, grenadine Coco Loco Bacardi Oakheart spiced rum, Malibu coconut rum, Piña Colada mix, mango purée, fruit punch Jamaican Paradise Appleton Estate rum, Malibu coconut rum, Jose Cuervo silver tequila, Midori melon liqueur, blue curaçao, sweet & sour mix Miami Beach Iced Tea Bacardi Superior white rum, Beefeater gin, Smirnoff vodka, Cuervo silver tequila, blue curaçao, sugar syrup, Sprite Sunset Beach Malibu coconut rum, raspberry liqueur, orange and pineapple juice, grenadine Tropical Tease Midori melon liqueur, Malibu coconut rum, banana liqueur, pineapple juice Emerald Mariachi 1800 Reposado tequila, blue curaçao, lime juice, passion fruit syrup, pineapple juice Mango Mojito Bacardi mango rum, mango purée, fresh mint leaves, lime, club sod a

You ONLY pay the difference in price for a beverage not included in your MSC DRINK package

You can now get a credit towards any drinks not included in your MSC Drink package!. The credit towards a drink is $8 per drink for the Easy Package, $10 per drink for the Easy Plus Package, and $16 per drink for the Premium Extra Package.

For European cruises the credit you get is 7 Euro for the Easy Package, 9 Euro for the Easy Plus and 14 Euro for the Premium Extra package on MSC.

Alcoholic-Free and Minors Package on MSC Cruises

You might be interested in the non-alcoholic package if you’re not a drinker or when traveling with children. This package offers non-alcoholic cocktails, sodas, energy drinks, juices, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. This package doesn’t apply to specialty restaurants unless it’s for a minor whose group purchased the Easy Plus or Premium Extra alcoholic package. So be prepared to pay for your soda when dining at the Butcher’s Cut, even if you have this package.

These prices will vary if booked on the ship on the day of sailing. Usually by an additional 10% or more. Short sailings are considered anything less than 7 days.

This table of prices is pretty mind-numbing and takes the fun out of figuring out what package is right. Why there are different prices for different lengths of cruise is bizarre and just another way that MSC tends to overcomplicate everything.

In Summary, My experience with the MSC Drink Packages

Originally, I thought the Easy package would be sufficient for our cruise, but discovering the limited beverage options and the fact that you cannot use the package in specialty dining restaurants, we chose to upgrade to the Easy Plus.

Overall this was a good choice, because of the wider variety of options and the ability to use in a specialty restaurant. However, it’s important to know – that when using the Easy Plus in a specialty restaurant like Butcher’s Cut, you must order off of the wine/drink menus in that restaurant!

If your favorite glass of wine isn’t available in the restaurant, you are forbidden to bring anything from an outside bar, which really makes no sense. This is something that they do NOT TELL YOU when upgrading from Easy to Easy Plus on the ship.

Normally this wouldn’t be a big issue except there were very few options on beverage menus that were covered by the Easy Plus package.

Drink Calculator – Are drink packages worth it on MSC?

Let’s find out if getting a drink package is worth it or not by using our handy drink calculator! Simply choose the package you plan on purchasing and estimate how many drinks per day you might consume and see if you “break even”

• Choose the package type you are considering. We’ve entered the package price per MSC Cruises but you can adjust the daily charge if you are getting a promo on the package price.
• Enter the number of cruise days
• Estimate your consumption of each type of beverage. We’ve put the average beverage prices based on the Drink Menus, but you can adjust this if you know you like more expensive drink options.

Easy Package includes:

Specific drinks listed on the easy drink menu (found here).

These drinks are sort of “vague” in some respect, so definitely look at the MSC Drink Menus article , where there is a unique menu for the Easy Package.

The Easy Package covers all of the above served in the bars, buffet and main restaurant as well as Ocean Cay and other exclusive destinations. This package CANNOT be used in specialty restaurants.

Easy Plus Package includes:

Bottomless beverages priced up to $10 all day long.

The Easy Plus Package can be enjoyed in the bars, buffet, main restaurant and specialty restaurants , Ocean Cay, and other exclusive destinations.

Premium Extra Package includes:

Premium beverages priced up to $16.

The Premium Extra Package can be enjoyed in the bars, buffet, main restaurant, and specialty restaurants as well as Ocean Cay and other exclusive destinations.

Estimate Your Daily Consumption:

Each field contains the average price found on most MSC ships in US Dollars.

Remember! Any drink not within your package limit, you pay the overage cost plus the service charge! If you tend to drink nicer wines or cocktails, you can adjust the average price of each beverage in the corresponding boxes! This helps give you a more accurate idea of your possible spending. (15% gratuities on European, Emirates, South Caribbean, Red Sea, South America (Brazil and Argentine) and Far East itineraries, and 18% gratuity on North America itineraries.)

On MSc how much doe sit cost if you buy a beer or a soda pop per purchase since i do not drink much alcohol at all and maybe two sodas a day

Wayne – You can get a beer for about $7.50 and a soda for $3.00-$3.50 + gratuity. You can see the MSC drink menus here

How do you know if the drink you order is within the 10$ limit on the easy plus package? Do the bartenders tell you? I would hate to get a bill for the extra few dollars if not covered. Thanks!

Hi Robin, They are very good about telling you right away if anything you order isn’t in the package, but the menus are also scattered around everywhere, and you’ll quickly learn what types of drinks are extra. I found that the selection of drinks wasn’t incredibly huge, so I knew fast what they had that I liked, and which were going to cost a little more.

I don’t drink alcohol but would like the occasional soda. Is it possible to purchase just individual drinks without the packages?

Hi Peter, Absolutely! If you take a look at the MSC Drink Menus (here) – on the first menu, flip to the last page. You’ll see the list of sodas and other beverages. It’s definitely not worth a package with the occasional soda.

Hi! Sailing in a couple days. Just want water and maybe a MOCKtail or 2 for a day. I wasn’t clear on how much mineral water is included per day or how to access. No soda, tea or coffee for me. The calculator did not offer the nonalcoholic package so wanted your recommendations- I do need to drink alot of water. Can I bring any sealed bottled water aboard? Is there gratuities on bottled water as well and how big are the bottles? Thanks in advance!

Hi Amy – Good point on the calculator – we’ll fix that and add the non-alcoholic package! At about $28 per day for the non-alcoholic package and a water being about $3.25 + gratuities, You’d end up needing to buy about 7 bottled waters per day to “break even”. (They are the large 17 oz sizes you’d get in a restaurant, so it’s a pretty good value) The non alcoholic cocktails are included as well and are usually about $7 to my recollection, but here’s the menus for MSC Drinks . (the first menu flips through to all the non-alcoholic in the back of the menu) – About bringing water, etc. MSC Is one of the only cruise lines that literally allows no beverages to be brought on the ship. Enjoy your cruise! I hope this helps.

We are looking at doing a cruise with our teens in the spring. We don’t drink alcohol, so is it worth buying a drink package? We would like access to sodas, juices, anything non alcoholic, so wondering if you’d advise to get a drink pkg or not. Thanks!

Hi Diana – Basic tea, coffee, water is included in the fare but soda, specialty coffee and other non-alcoholic beverages aren’t included. There IS an Alcohol free package for $28/day per person +/- which is quite a bit less than the other drink packages. HOWEVER, MSC Often does a promo with the “easy” package or “easy plus” as a perk for a bit of an extra charge. Doing the math, you’ll often find that the little higher rate on a cruise that includes the drink package is far less than buying the package separately. For example, on a 7 day booking I looked and the all included fare was about $37/per person per day more expensive and the drink package was included as well as wifi and onboard credit. More benefits for less money for sure! SO be sure to check that pricing and use our drink calculator for MSC (here) to see if you even drink enough soda/non-alcoholic things to make it worth it.

Your calculator doesn’t take into account that they add a 15% gratuity to each drink, and the package includes the gratuity.

Hi Brad, thanks for the comment, we’ll make a change to the formula to include the gratuity in the calculations!

Is there a time limit in between each drink? Like a waiting period of 10/15 minutes?

Hi Sarah – There is not. We would often try a drink of the day or some specialty, hate it, and immediately order something else.

Hope this helps!

I want to get the easy drinks package but my husband cant drink due to Ill health. Do MSC take this into consideration or will we have to both buy same package.

Hi Karen – Normally with a medical notice from a doctor, the second person doesn’t have to purchase an alcohol package. HOWEVER, MSC rules change… sometimes depending on who you speak to. My experience with this is that they will request you purchase the EASY package for yourself and the NON ALCOHOLIC package for your husband. But it will have to be done by phone, and whether they ask for medical proof will likely depend on who you speak to at the time. I had friends traveling with us that were in your exact situation and they were not asked for proof but were in fact told the non drinking person has to purchase a non-alcoholic package.

Is Redbul available at no additional cost in the easy plus package?

Yes, my recollection is that energy drinks were included with the Easy Plus!

So for my wife who does not drink any alcohol is the minor package the best? Based on the menu the easy plus package covers a variety of beers is that correct vs only Heineken on the easy package.

Hi Jason, they (MSC) will likely require the Alcohol-Free Package as I believe the Minors package is truly teens and below. They’re basically the same thing, you’re just getting penalized for being a grown up 🙂 – That said, the Easy Plus package you are considering does cover all of the beers. There wasn’t a beer served that wasn’t covered by the Easy Plus. And yes, Heineken is the only thing available on the Easy Package. So if you’re a beer drinker, it’s worth looking at the Easy Plus. BUT! Keep in mind, the specials that MSC runs sometimes include the beverage packages and it may be cheaper to go ahead and book with those specials rather than cruise only and adding an Alcohol-Free Package + Easy Plus package. Even if your wife doesn’t take advantage of the alcohol, she can have all of the non-alcoholic beverages she wants and in the end the total price may be less on the promotion. Hope this helps!

If you purchase a non-alcoholic drink package, do you pay the difference for an alcoholic drink or the full price?

Hi Tom – The non alcoholic package won’t work to apply anything towards an alcoholic beverage purchase. However if you have the most basic beverage package (Easy), you can pay the difference for drinks that are more expensive than what is covered by the Easy (this is new for 2023)

Thank you, kind of what I thought. I’d have to to go easy plus since the easy package is not inclusive of some of the non-alcoholic drinks I would like.

Interesting! I’m curious about what non-alcoholic drinks you like that wouldn’t be included in the Easy Package? In our experience, everything non-alcoholic was included in the Easy Package (but there may be something I’m missing!) 🙂

What to do if one person drinks and other doesn’t on the same cabin?

Typically everyone of age in the same cabin must have the same drink package. The cruise line will make an exception for medical reasons. Mostly they don’t want one person getting the package and sharing the drinks with their cabin mate 🙁

Thank you for all of this information. It is very hard to navigate all of this from MSC website. I am not a big drinker so I wasn’t sure if the packages were necessary. Your drink calculator is very helpful . If you could answer a question: there are no frozen drinks on the easy drink menu. Does that mean there is no option for frozen margaritas?

Hi Claudia, I’m glad this information helped! We were able to get frozen drinks without a problem, as long as the liquor type was in the basic package. They didn’t distinguish between frozen or on the rocks with things like Margaritas and Daiquiris.

We are sailing to Rome from Durban 20th April and have bought 18 of the 18 unit packages, my question is does a unit mean a short and a mixer, ie, rum and coke or it that 2 units.

Hi Jennifer, we’ve done both Europe & USA cruises on MSC – and in our experience, a rum and coke was in fact a single drink. I know in Europe, it’s common to sell the mixer separate, but that does not seem to be the case on MSC Ships. I hope this helps & enjoy your cruise!

My husband and I are booked to sail from Durban in April on msc Orchestra 25 day cruise to Genoa. Please can you advise if drinks packages are on offer on the ship or if we pay per drink and are soft drinks free? If we pay per drink can you email prices so that we can work out a budget, many thanks.

Hi Ann! When you login to your MSC account you should see a way to pre-purchase the packages. If you wait until you get on the ship, they will be about 20% more expensive! We did the “easy” package which covered sodas, specialty coffee, bottled water, and quite a few basic drinks, but upgraded on another trip to the Easy Plus which gets you better beverages and allows you to use the package in the specialty restaurants (which you can’t with the basic Easy package). We put together a handy drink calculator for MSC (See the drink calculator) so you can estimate your budget based on how you normally consume. This will let you know really fast if you’re going to make the drink package worth it! I hope this helps.

Their top package used to include everything but full bottles of wine. Last time on Miraviglia it included everything on the champagne bar menu including $20 drinks. On the Seaside it used to cover the specialty chocolate drinks and gelato. Mildly disappointed. Used to be the best package. Bartenders loved it because they could make the high dollar stuff most people won’t try

I feel your disappointment! When we were on the Meraviglia , the whole drink package was so confusing that even some of the staff weren’t sure what to include or not. I had hoped they’d simplify it, but the new packages with prices were just released, and it’s still a head-scratcher.

It will be our first time on a cruise. Reading your tips is being mind and eye opening. We will make sure to have every single detail well calculated before we proceed. Thank you! Great website!

MSC drink packages and menus the ultimate guide

These are latest MSC  drink packages and menus 2024. MSC cruise’s drink packages are available on all MSC cruise ships. Whether you are sailing on the latest MSC Virtuosa , MSC Seaside or the MSC Fantasia you can find the perfect all inclusive drink package for your stay. We have recently travelled with MSC where we downloaded the very latest MSC Virtuosa drink menus too you can find them in this post.

Everything you need to know about MSC Drink Packages Menus with Prices for 2024

For a MSC drink package to be worth the money you need to work out exactly what you would drink on your vacation. For instance a coffee in the morning sodas or cocktails by the pool, a wine paired with dinner and a few beers in the evening would easily cover the daily rate and work out cheaper than purchasing drinks separately. You can log in to your cruise booking to get your cruise drink package price. But read on for some more guidance on the rough prices of the drink packages and prices of the drinks to gauge whether you will need a package.

Will you be getting off of the ship and going ashore? Use this guide on  MSC cruise Ship packages and also the menus to see what is included? This also includes what drinks you get if you travel in Yacht club . We personally prefer a drinks package as by the time we have totted up a glass or two of wines at lunch and dinner followed by a cocktail or two it comes out cheaper. Use our drink calculator below to find out whether it is better for you to purchase the drinks package.

MSC drink packages and menus the ultimate guide for 2024

Wherever you are sailing be it North America, South America, Caribbean itineraries or the Mediterrean the drinks will be the same. However all MSC cruises reflect where they are cruising. The beverage package packages are the same also the only thing that changes is whether the drink menu is in pounds, euros or dollars.

If you are sailing out of Saudi Arabia no alcohol will be served and bars will be shut until you sail out to international waters. This is not the case for other neighbouring countries such as the UAE, Doha, Dubai and Qatar these places the bars will be open.

34 thoughts on “MSC drink packages and menus the ultimate guide”

We are soon to travel on the MSC Virtuosa and have an included Premium drinks package. Is it possible to up grade to Premium plus. How much does it cost and is it better to do this on board or with the booking agent.

You can upgrade on the ship but it may be cheaper to do it before you go.

Goodmorning, I am trying to find out what is included in the easypackage. The menu’s that you show are in pound Sterling, the prices in the package is in Euro’s. Is a simple rum-And-coke included in the easy package, or should we upgrade.

Hi they normally have a selection of easy drinks like rum and coke on the menu. But this would not be premium rum

I’m sailing on the MSC Virtuoso just now (January 2022) and purchased the premium extra drinks package at time of booking in March 2020.

For the awareness of future passengers contrary to this website advice MSC have advised that the in cabin mini bar is pay only and not included in ANY of the pre paid packages.

Disappointing I know.

Hi thank you for the update we do try to keep content as fresh as possible. We will contact our MSC representative for an update on this change too.

The exception is in the Yacht Club. The Yacht Club drink package (which is always included in the cost of being in the Yacht Club) includes the snacks and drinks in the cabin mini bar. However, only beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages automatically get replenished. Anything else in the mini bar (snacks and spirits) will replenished only on request and that replenishment will inclur a charge.

Website says “premium drinks, with no price limit”. However this is no longer accurate, there is now a 13euro/15 dollar limit

Thank you for the update we will get that changed!

I hope you can help, do you know if MSC Curises have Dr. Pepper or Diet Dr. Pepper on board the ship Divina?

I have called MSC customer service about the Alcohol-Free Package and what Soft Drinks are available on board the Divina, however, they are unable to confirm what soft drinks that include. I am trying to find out if Dr. Pepper and Diet Dr. Pepper are soft drinks on board. Since the package is non-refundable if these soft drinks are not available, I would not purchase the package. I hope you can help with this question. If you need it my booking number is 41388483, thanks in advance for your help.

Includes: • A wide choice of alcohol-free cocktails • Soft drinks • Energy drinks • Mineral water • Flavored water • Fruit juices • Coffee drinks (latte, espresso, cappuccino, etc.) • Hot chocolate and hot teas • Soft-serve ice cream

The Alcohol-free package can be enjoyed in our bars, self-service buffet, casual and main restaurants, Ocean Cay and other exclusive destinations.

Does not apply to our signature venues including Venchi 1878 establishments, Lavazza Coffee Shop and Jean Philippe Chocolate, Coffee, Crepes & Gelato.

Thanks for your help, Jonathan B.

Hi I’m sorry I do not know if there is Dr Pepper onboard. I will see if i can find out

Hi there, me and my partner are going on the Virtuosa in September. Im not sure if you will know or if this is a stupid question but I can see at the British Pub, a price for a pint is £8. We have the easy plus package which covers up to 9 euros, will this be applicable for the £8 pint and other drinks? thanks 🙂

Hi are you sailing out of the Uk? The euro drink prices are different so where the mocktails are £7 on the uk Virtuosa menu the Euro menu I have just seen was 6. So i would imagine a £9 pint would be 8 euros if that helps. All of the bottled beers last week were in Euros and were from 6.50 euros to 7.50.

@Donna Vallance, yes we are! ahh i see what you mean, thank you very much 🙂

Hi, We are deciding if we should get the Easy Plus or Premium Extra package. We sailed the Med on the Grandiosa last year with a Premium package which was up to €10/drink. I understand Premium Extra is up to €13/drink but on the menus shown here the signature cocktails are £14 – DC oes this mean they’re not included in the package? When speaking to MSC on the phone they said Premium Extra was practically anything in a glass, including champagne.

Hi, It depends where you are sailing from. In the UK the MSC menus in Pounds always tends to be dearer then euros and then anything priced in dollars cheaper still. As in it will be €7 in Europe, £8 in uk and then about $6 in USA. The cocktails on the easy plus package are €7 in Europe but in the uk they have been dearer. The premium package covers pretty much everything except the signature cocktails. It includes all cocktails and premium cocktails. As far as im aware and in my experience last week ( in euros ) the prem extra doesn’t include the signature cocktails. These were priced in euros at €14 and the premium extra package said up to €13 euros. I hope this helps a bit of course its only from experience.

Hi – confused about whether to buy the Easy Plus for Fantasia sailing out of Athens in Sept. MSC website says includes drinks upto 8€ but not sure which wines/cocktails this will cover as your menus are in UK£? Also have heard on a cruise forum that prices will increase from Monday 1 Aug?

Generally it is the same in euros and pounds. In the UK the MSC menus in Pounds always tends to be dearer then euros and then anything priced in dollars cheaper still. As in it will be €7 in Europe, £8 in uk and then about $6 in USA. The cocktails on the easy plus package are €7 in Europe but in the uk they have been dearer. The premium package covers pretty much everything except the signature cocktails. It includes all cocktails and premium cocktails. As far as im aware and in my experience last week ( in euros ) the prem extra doesn’t include the signature cocktails. These were priced in euros at €14 and the premium extra package said up to €13 euros. I hope this helps a bit of course its only from experience. Most of the cocktails are in the premium.

Hi, Are alchoholic drinks sevred upon boarding? We are due to depart 2300 New Years Eve and hope we can get served prior to sailing. Am I right in believing that only Saudi Arabia is a dry port? Thanks

We have travelled on MSC to Dubai which is a no alcohol country. As soon boarded on the ship you can consume alcohol. However as far as I am aware there is a no alcohol policy in Saudi until your ship is 12 miles away. I would assume your ship will depart early to account for this. Please let us know how you get on!

Hello we travel to several cabins. if we don’t have the same drink packages, can we eat at the same table in the restaurant?

If you have separate cabins you need to check that they are linked so that you are sitting together in the dining room

Hi Donna , We are sailing out of Barcelona in November 22 on MSC Seaview , Can you confirm that the Easy plus package includes all drinks up to €10 . Some sites say only €8 so bit confused . Thanks x

It depends where you are sailing to some says it in euros and some dollars too. But the easy plus covers most cocktails other than premium

I am looking at a cruise leaving the UK next September. I am confused about the drinks pricing. Would the Easy Plus package cover the classic cocktails and a good selection of the cheaper brand of whiskies?

Yes the easy plus package includes the classic cocktails but not the premium ones. There is quite a lot of choice

Good morning,

Could you kindly provide the drinks list of MSC Divina for Summer 2023 to have a perfect indication of what lies under each package;

easy package – €6 easy plus package – €8 Premium extra Package – €13

The menus are the same on most of the ships. The closet we have to Divina is the Fantasia ones which are on this post

My wife and I are booked on a 7 day med cruise from Barcelona in June, she is teetotal , is there any way I can book a alcohol free package for her, and an easy plus package for myself.

it is generally for both in one cabin but if you you ring them and tell them you can normally will change it for you

Hi there I’ve not seen prosecco mentioned I drinks menu,do they have it on board do you know.Thank you, izzy x

Yes they do as well as champagne on the premium menu.

Can i ask please : Does the premium menu, bought in advance, includes the bar services charges aswell?

Yes, this option is available to all our guests. In pre-cruise sales, the upgrades are available only for the guests with the package included in their cruise promotion, furthermore at discounted price. On board, all upgrade options are open for all guests at full price.  

I booked a Grand Voyages cruise or an MSC World Cruise. Is there any drinks package included?

- MSC Grand Voyages On Grand Voyages cruises the packages are not included per default but may vary according to your travel agency offer/promotion.

- MSC World Cruise On MSC World Cruise the Dine & Drinks package is included. It includes: house wines, draught beer, soft drinks and mineral water that can be consumed during lunch and dinner in our main restaurants and in the buffet.

What drink package is included in the MSC Yacht Club Experience?

Can i purchase a drink package before my cruise.

Yes, all drink packages can be purchased before the cruise by benefiting of an up to 15% discount vs onboard prices.

If I choose a drink not included in the package, do I pay a full price?

This was correct as of our YC sailing on the Mera in March.

In YC can you only order drinks on the menu or can you request a certain drink? I have cruised before but not on MSC.

Any drink as long as they have the ingredients. As long as it is priced within the parameters. Some bartenders will overlook the $ amount maximum. Enjoy.

You can order any drink you want if they have the liquor and the ingredients (and the liquor is below $15 a pour)

Thank you. 

Sorry, we have never sailed MSC before so I apologize for the question- if we are sailing in YC, we cannot just order any drink from any bar? I was under the assumption that having the beverage package included was ship wide and not just in the YC. 

You can order from any bar. Outside the YC, they will scan your card/wrist band. Inside the YC they don't bother to scan because only YC guests should be at those bars/restaurant.

Outside the YC, at least on the Med cruises on the World Europa, we could order drinks up to 14 euros and those would be included, as long as they were not in "signature" venues.  For drinks in non-YC, non-signature venues, only the difference in price between the drink and 14 euros was charged.  We ordered a 15 euro drink and were charged 1,50 euros (1 euro for drink price difference, and ,50 euro for the service charge).
