How to use this drinks package calculator

1. Enter the number of each type of drink that you would like in an average day. Remember that on sea days you might drink twice as many drinks as a port day. Use the average. Keep in mind you will also pay gratuities on top of the drink price. This is calculated at the bottom of the calculato

2. Compare your daily drinks bill to the cost of the drinks package.

If you’d spend more without a package, you should get one!

MSC Cruises

The reason we’ve included WI-FI above is because most drink packages include some sort of wi-fi, so it will help you determine whether your drinks package price per day is worth it or not. In more cases than not, it will be (unless you only have 1 or 2 coffees and 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks and a bottle of water per day).

Remember: The best time to purchase a drinks package is when you purchase your cruise as they offer you the highest discount on drinks packages at this time (usually 20%-30% cheaper). Plus you’ll get WI-FI included in the package and it includes gratuities.

MSC Cruises offers a variety of drink packages with varying costs. The Easy package costs around AUD$62 per day. The Easy Plus package costs around AUD$84 and the Premium Extra package costs around AUD$117 per day (depending on the region of your cruise). Not cheap.
