BrooklynMarc2018 Posted August 15, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I was having a nice time by myself on Mardi Gras and after a day of boarding and enjoying the ship, I got cut off from their small sized drinks at the piano bar. If you ask to buy a drink, they so you can’t. I’m not some crazy person. I’m just enjoying being back in the ocean! 🙂 Guest relations said if I didn’t buy the package you could have another drink. Not a matter of intoxication. You just shouldn’t have bought the drink package. If I didn’t buy the drink package, I could buy more drinks. Makes sense. 🤪🤷♂️👀🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonsterling Posted August 15, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Ha ha ha ha- okay. I've never hit my 15 drink limit on the Drink plan but I can't imagine how much I would spend on first fifteen drinks and then more past that versus the cost of the drink plan... maybe buy a bottle for the cabin as a future hedge against the risk of getting sober along with the drink plan- LOL 🤣 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagittarius traveler Posted August 15, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2021 That's why you bring stuff onboard they allow it and drink a little first before buying their drinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallow Posted August 15, 2021 #11 Share Posted August 15, 2021 We switch from lighter drinks to long island or martini's in the evening. Usually the 15 limit never gets us but we have been close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbismith Posted August 15, 2021 #12 Share Posted August 15, 2021 My sister and I buy a shot of vodka and split it into two drinks. One oz each. We put it in zero proof drinks or cranberry juice. This serves two/three purposes, we can drink longer without falling over, less expensive, and we never hit 15 drinks each. Bobbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BoozinCroozin Posted August 15, 2021 #13 Share Posted August 15, 2021 15 drinks per day average cost $10 (for easy math) is $150/day. 7-night cruise is 8 days. That is $1,200 if you hit your limit each day. You are now at NCL drink package pricing. Once you get to know your regular bartenders by name and with greenbacks, your drinks come out with enough alcohol that you like. I enjoy drinking, but I stopped excessive drinking many years ago. I enjoy having a cocktail while enjoying the entertainment around. I don't drink just to drink. 15 is plenty for me, my wife won't come close to it with alcohol, but probably exceed it with coffee.

Lol We usually do this but there are no individual bottles of liquor showing for sale in the "Fun Shops" section of the website for our 5 day cruise next week on the Breeze out of Galveston. There's only gift packs with champagne or wine. Is this something new? Something to do with Galveston? Pushing Drinks packages? Just curious if anyone's had this same experience.

Don Kehote Posted August 15, 2021 #16 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) I guess it would be something if he wasn't aware of the Cheers 15 limit. But he was. Edited August 15, 2021 by Don Kehote 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiremedicMike151 Posted August 15, 2021 #22 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I was at a pretty stressful family event a few weeks ago and started at 10am with some screwdrivers. Over the course of the day I don’t think I even hit 12 and I’m sure that was the most alcohol I’d ever had, nor could I handle more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted August 15, 2021 #23 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Well....99% of people never come close to the 15 drink limit so just because some guy got cut off won't effect them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I won't make up a percentage number but from personal experience I'll bet that the number is a lot less than that. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my kids mama Posted August 16, 2021 #25 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I only hit my 15 once. It was a sea day. We started with bloody mary's at breakfast. I went to the casino by 10 am. I kept ordering vodka and diet. They were in these little plastic cups. Met my husband later in the afternoon to have a drink by the pool. Before dinner, we went to the bar at the steakhouse to have a glass of wine. The bartender told me I was at 14!!!! I couldn't believe it. I wasn't even drunk. I even looked at my husband and said "do I sound like someone that has had 14 drinks?" He said "no". I totally get it. Now, if I go to the casino in the daytime, I drink water, or a glass of white wine, Wine goes much further than those tiny glasses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
