Same
I certainly didn't look at the max # of drinks on the package as a goal but I admit there were times when I may not have had a drink but did because it was paid for. Like you--vacation rules are different than home rules.
On this Alaska cruise we were coming up on the 1st big glacier viewing and it was such a sight that it was emotional. Everyone was out oohing & ahhing. The ship set up a little table with coffee or hot chocolate with various liquers (Baileys, Frangelico, Grand Marnier etc). It was only noon & I might not have wanted to pay for that one but we each got one & it was a nice celebratory thing to do without deciding if I felt like spenidng $14 for a spiked hot chocolate. 3 or 4 drinks to break even made sense especially since it included wifi and special dining places.
