After reading a bunch of posts I decided to buy the Premium Package for my wife and myself. The total cost was about $391pp. We are moderate drinkers but because we didn't have to drink just alcohol I figured it was worth trying. I did my best to keep track of what we drank and the approximate cost of each drink. The combined list is below.
Pros:
Drink whatever the heck you want
We drank bottled water constantly which helped us stay well hydrated
We brought bottles of water back to the room (this was great)
We had cappucinos at the coffee bar reguarly and they were fantastic
No signing or little receipts to deal with
If you go over the $12 limit you just pay the difference
Got to try many of the Molecular Bar cocktails
Cons
I'm a bit competitive so I probably had a few drinks when I
otherwise might not have. That said...I never even got tipsy at all.
Final count (give or take) we drank about $990 (including 15% gratuity)
Would I do it again? YES...mainly because it was "freeing" to just get what I wanted and not have to sign for anything. Coming out ahead was a plus.
Here's the list ($'s are close and are not exact) Please forgive spelling errors:
