Drink package question...

[palmtree99]

I'm cruising the breakaway in July and had a question about the drink package. I have it, but another couple I'm cruising with doesn't. Will I be able to get drinks for them? How strict are they with this?

You'll be able to. Just do not blantly buy a drink right infront of the barkeep. I would buy one and walk down to another bar and hand off the drink. They do not limit how much you can buy... trust me. ;)

if you do as suggested above I would definitely be sure to tip the bartenders, however will the extra steps/chance of getting caught be worth it? remember there are cameras everywhere in public areas

 

if caught you won't be thrown overboard, but your drink package could be revoked.

You are not supposed to but I guess in theory you could, I was told them I'll ask Cruise if somebody saw you doing it they could take away your sticker
