We do enjoy an occasional cocktail or wine with dinner. Wouldn't it be great if there were a "light" version of the UBP?

If one could have a package that had a limited number of drinks vs. the unlimited, it would allow us to prepay for our beverages. This would be a welcome addition to us. Of course, paying as we go (card signing) is okay, but we would feel more "freestyling" if we knew our beverages were prepaid and available.

Any downside to this idea?

I am trying to type through tears, your post is so touching, and I send you heartfelt condolences. So sorry for your loss.

While we still sit on the fence a bit (more pro than con) about the auto-tip on a drink bill, what we are clearly unhappy with is the staff member who might indicate that he/she expects a tip on top of the tip on the bill....that aspect happens, and it is totally unacceptable. If the auto-tip on the drink bill truly goes to the bar staff, then we feel we have transacted in compliance. But do not sigh, roll your eyes, or stand an extra moment past the "thank you" expecting more tipping. Not only has this happened at the bar/pool service area....but also in the spa...where I had an attendant tell me that the 18% was not really going to reward her for her service. Pffffft!
