So helpful, exactly what I was looking for! I drink but thought that for $500 for the easy plus for 1 week was a lot for drinks! With the average cost of 15 euros or 22 CAD per drink, I would need to drink 3 drinks a day, every day to cover it off. I might drink that much but not sure, because every day I will be on an adventure off the ship. I am glad that I have some numbers to play with in order to make my decision! Thanks again.
Hi, on MSC World Europa which are the exclusive venues not included in the drink packages? example the elixir mixology bar, Master of the seas pub, raj polo tea house...? or am I wrong? the others would be? Can I consume with the plus in the on-board restaurants not included in the cruise?
Masters of the seas will be fine. The hidden bar Speakeasy is a signature venue for sure. Tea house is likely to be a signature venue. It's hard to get a full list from MSC 🤦
@@lambo7 Thanks 😁 Signature venues are places where you have to pay a bit extra, like the Carousel Lounge (where they have the incredible Cirque Du Soleil style shows) and The Starship Bar (robot bartender)
@@CruisingOutnumbered thanks for that. It’s a dilemma 😎. Unsure weather to buy a drinks package (we don’t drink loads). Or upgrade from Bella to Aurea.
@@lambo7 I did a video about saving money while cruising (and if it's worth it) called "5 Famous Cruise Money Saving Ideas TESTED" and one of the 5 was not having a drinks package. Another one was about letting the cruise line choose your cabin for you (like in Bella). Might help 😊
Thanks for the guide. I will say, "Any bar including specialty restaurants but not signature venues" is such an infuriating statement. I don't look forward to figuring out what's Standard vs Specialty vs Signature.
@@solyn383 I thought about adding it, but it seems to change depending on the ship and location. If it helps, on my most recent MSC cruise I had the Easy Plus and it was £50 a day 😊
I just booked my cruise when you pre-pay I got it 40%. I got the Easy plus package for 180 dollars the easy was 156 and remember every adult in the cabin has to have the package so even if you don’t drink if there’s three adults you have to buy for all three etc.
The prices are too variable to list. Different ships, different routes, different offers. It would have made the video out of date very quickly. But now you know which package you want you can check for your trip 😊

Paying in CAD rather than euros is also a consideration!
@@Jazzqui007 Thanks! 😊 Glad I could help. I must admit I don't get the drinks package get often on long cruises these days.
Thank you that was really useful!
@@bunnykinsswanson Thanks 😊
I think i had the basic package last MSC and wasnt impressed. I think i will upgrade to the Easy Plus for my upcoming cruise in 3/25
Good plan. Always nice to have a variety of drinks
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Are you off on a MSC cruise soon?
@@CruisingOutnumberedYes sir

good video. thanks, what are signature venues??
@@lambo7 Thanks 😁
Signature venues are places where you have to pay a bit extra, like the Carousel Lounge (where they have the incredible Cirque Du Soleil style shows) and The Starship Bar (robot bartender)

@@CruisingOutnumbered thanks. I might buy the Aurea upgrade package. Thanks again and subbed.
@@lambo7 Thanks! Sounds like the right move. Enjoy all the extras you get access to 😁

Yeah, tell me about it. I was going to list them but they're called different things in different ships 🤦
What about the price of each package please? 😊

but you didn't say how much it is???
