Great amount of info - I'm just back from Barcelona cruise of Eastern Med with Venice stopover. We had the Classic Alco Package and found it good value and a relaxing way to enjoy all our drinks purchases. We always had a bottle (70 cl) every day to go on ports of call or start a day at sea sunbathing. Then typically ports of call involved a couple of cooling drinks (2 or 3) on return to the ship, 2 or 3 glasses of wine (+ dry martini) and took one of the wines to our dinner in the MDR, this was followed most nights by a few relaxed drinks (3 or 4) in the theatre & / or casino. When the ship was at sea we probably enjoyed a few more including frozen cocktails from the Mast Bar and non of the drinks ever topped the package allowance. That said my wife had to stick to Pignot Griggio instead of her normal Sauvigon (?) Blanc, but the wine was fine and more than acceptable to both of our tastes. There was no fuss when we entered and sat at the MDR with wine glasses already full.
We were 1st time cruisers so very unsure of how the process would work, but we found that it didn't matter what drinks arrangements people were on, everyone was treated the same. Would do it again, at the drinks available within the Classic is not really restricted because there is always an acceptable option.
