Question on the drink package out of TX. Note - I have sailed on CCL a dozen times out of TX so I am familiar with the TX laws, no drink package day one, and limited selection until international water (a couple hours). 1. Was your day one (from boarding until 6am on day 2) charge for ALL drinks? Were you able to use the drink package at all day one? 2. Did you get a refund for one day of the package? 3. Was there ever any formal communication regarding the drink package? We are sailing Ruby 01/08/2023 and trying to plan out the first day. Princess still states the package is valid on day one and is confused on the TX laws. Any help would be appreciated.
