BEAV spot on, tip, not tax...oops

When we buy a wine package on HAL, they charge the tip in at the time you buy the package, not as you get the bottles.

Seems that I read that the drink packages have tip added as you buy each drink. That might be because, while you pay a flat amount for the package, the actual "price" of what you drink depends on what you order and how much? I really do not know. Thought someone on this board would have sailed on HAL and gotten this package. Adding a bit of complication, this is a bonus for us, not a direct purchase. The drinks are free (included), but are the tips??

Here is what it says on the HAL website
Our convenient, affordable Signature Beverage Package allows you to select from a variety of wine, beer, spirits, cocktails (including non-alcoholic), sodas & coffee! Includes any beverage priced at a $7.00 or lower menu price. Up to 15 beverages per day. * Prices are per day; Signature Beverage Package for $44.95* per day, per person a 15% service charge is not included and will be auto...

There is nothing to click to get the rest. Assume (?) ...matically added to your shipboard account. ??? Our bonus package allows for wine up to $8 (misprint, or update that the website has not made??)
