It would be nice if people that choose to post complaints about problems they had on a cruise would at the least give some sort of explanation of what happened to get you so upset and come.

What could have been wrong with the drink package to cause that much problem?

I was on this cruise. It was perfect from beginning to end. Got to terminal about 11am checked in and was on board by noon. Tendering process was very smooth in both ports. Staff and crew went above and beyond. Bar Harbor is a beautiful town, did Acadia excursion to Cadillac mountain, yes was foggy couldn’t see much, but still a nice excursion. Weather was perfect the rest of the week.

Gee, I believe you need to find an alternative vacation method. Sounds like cruising isn't your style. Sorry.
