Having been on the same cruise I would concur with review. However I would add that despite reading so many reviews about MSC drinks packages I felt they just do not work properly and was close to being a waste of money. No equivalence or substituted wines not available from listing are a major issue. Not everyone likes Chardonnay which was constantly offered in place of Sauvignon Blanc. Running out of wines in Speciality Dining venues also an issue. Flexibility of supply across venues required. Being on MSC and NO Disaronno available?????? Funnily enough litre bottles were for sale onboard in the shops. Did address issues onboard but poorly addressed. Better management would greatly improve the experience. Other Cruise Lines can do it.
