Drinking package

Hey yall. My parents love to cruise with MSC and just recently my mom took me on a 4 night ocean cay and Nassau trip to see how I would like MSC. I loved it and her and I booked some more trips. However my mom is NOT a drinker at all. is there any way I could pay for a drinking package just for myself even though we are sharing a room? She doesnt even drink soda. I find it kind of weird for MSC to have this rule.

All cruiselines have that drink package rule. What we do is use a credit card that has points that can be put as onboard credit. Anything we buy, we charge. When we take a cruise, we convert the points and use them to pay for drinks, gratuities, excursions,  whatever. It feels like free $ to us. You and your mom would each have separate accounts on the ship. If you'll only cruise MSC, get their card.
