MSC Cruises Increases Drink Package Pricing

MSC Cruises increased the price of its various drink packages as of February 27th.

Exactly how much you’ll pay depends on which package you purchase, how long you’re sailing, and whether or not you buy the package in advance. In addition, MSC has begun including gratuities in the pricing of its various drink packages, something which until now they had not done.

It’s worth noting that unlike other cruise lines, only the most expensive of MSC’s packages includes drinks ordered in specialty restaurants.
