Wonder what keeps one from buying for the whole table?

Is this for all ships? I am sailing on Radiance on 1/30/05.

I just explained that. See below.

Only other time you
will have to present your seapass is when you buy a drink for another
guest.

If you want to buy drinks for your tablemates at dinner, they will take your
seapass card and swipe it, minus your own drink.
And yes, that price is for 2.

Doesn't seem very high-tech. Maybe I should just buy some yellow stickers!

Yet another satisfied customer of Bartender Sam!

John,
I don't know... I hadn't read anything, anywhere, about this previous to our
cruise... I would not have even noticed the advertisement/sign for it if we
hadn't run into paxs from our first BOS cruise in 2002, I had bareley
glanced at the sign... I thought it was the wine package deal they were
pushing...in fact, they sold it on the same table as the wine package deal..
as neither of us are wine drinkers, we didn't pay too much attention. It was
advertised on the 1st day in the Schooner Bar....that's where they always
set up various tables selling packages, photo shop, spa, etc....they give
out raffle tickets for cheap prizes at each table... to get you to have a
look (hoping you will purchase).
That other pax/friend pulled out a calculator.. did some quick math... he
figured you'd only need to drink 16 drinks per day at 3.50 each.. there
aren't many drinks that cost that little.....plus, it includes wine at
dinner, too.... Like I said, we are not wine drinkers, but, I believe you
could order by the bottle, as well as, the glass... what's a bottle go for?
Average price? I'm guessing 24 bucks on the low side?
Anyway, at 24 bucks you wouldn't need to have many more drinks all day to
come out even... my drink costs more than 3.50, so did DH'S beer brand.. you
can get the drink of the day....sodas, coffee, etc.
Only topshelf liquor was excluded... you could get Stoli and Absolute, but
not Grey Goose, Baileys and such, was excluded.. so were the top Brandys or
Cognacs, ie..Courvoisier.

If you drank Martinis, you can go through the money pretty quickly....
though if you had 5 martinis a day... you'd need to get a family member to
take a LOT of pictures so that you can have something to remember the cruise
by.... otherwise it would just be a blur.

I was thinking the same. On my cruise a few weeks ago on Jewel of the
Seas I did not spend $50 on alcohol for the whole seven day cruise!!!
