The value proposition changes depending on how much you drink but even in my younger and wilder days 15 drinks per day for a week wouldn't happen.
If you choose the Plus or Premier packages, Princess requires the first two in the cabin to have it. 3rd and 4th are optional.
If the second passenger is a child, they are required to take it too. By the time you add up gratuities, wifi, soft drinks, milk shakes,extra desserts, etc. it's still not an bad deal, just not as good.
Exmple 1: 2 adults, 1 kid in the cabin. You can buy Plus just for the 2 adults
Example 2: 2 adults, 2 kid2 in the cabin. You can buy Plus just for the 2 adults
Example 3: 1 adult and 1 kid in cabin. You must buy Plus for both.
If you have the Plus package, you are usually better off buying wine by the glass as it comes from your 15 drinks a day allotment. Buying a bottle just gets you a percent off.
Now if you are talking beverage only packages, not within Plus or Premier, the math is very different (and not as good IMHO). But the general rules as to who has to buy are the same.
