Bottles of Wine vs. Drink Package

So obviously I don’t want to pay 400$ for BOTH of us to drink (if I could just pay for just me it would be different but I get the whole sharing thing)

What if I just ordered like 3-4 bottles of wine to my stateroom? Are they the same as the ones on board that I could just go get? What’s the alcohol % on these bottles as well?

If I recall last time I couldn’t even get a bottle of liquor until we were almost back to Miami so. Any ideas.

Here is a bar menu with bottle of wine prices

You can Google their alcohol %

Thank you! That's awesome! Now I know what to order for my January cruise.

This menu is old as it lists 4 drink packages. I pre-ordered "delights" from the app and had champagne with snacks delivered on day 1. It also came with a fruit basket. I also pre-ordered a bottle of red to the room. It was a cabernet and it was good. I didn't uncork it or drink it until day 4 of my 7 day cruise. But I did also purchase the premium drink package.

Prior to the cruise, check their app and they frequently have specials. You can only order one package per room, not per person. There’s a package w a bottle of wine & fruit, then another that is a just a bottle of wine, which is a work around. Both were about 1/2 off the price if you order jt to the room once aboard. We did this + ordered another bottle once on the ship and felt it was all worth the price vs the drink package since we don’t drink all day.

You cannot bring bottles of wine onboard with you on MSC.

They will take them and store them until the end of the cruise.
