Yes... Another Drink Package Question

[SFLcowboy78]

At what time does the 15 limit drink count reset for the day?

Midnight.

This is a bit concerning that you had to start a second thread about the same subject - apparently not liking the answers given previously? Every ship line that I know about that has a drink package with a daily limit always resets at midnight, ship time and counts the number of drinks. How can you reasonably expect a different answer?

Looks like this is a top priority for him.  I met people on our cruises who really had to hit the 15 drinks a day.  A bit crazy but there you have it.

Not all cruise lines reset at midnight. Our carnival cruise reset a 6am. I’d ask once you get onboard. Especially if times change on the ship. I have in laws that reach the 15 limit. They assumed it was midnight too, but got denied right after midnight. 😂  Customer service confirmed it was 6am!

O.K. my bad. Guess your idea to ask when on board is the best solution.

FYI, the HIA 15 drink count is all beverages including water, soda and specialty coffees, not just alcoholic drinks.

Not sure if there has been a recent change, but the FAQ on the HAL site states the following (emphasis is mine):

The Signature and Elite packages have a daily limit of 15 alcoholic beverages, which includes all alcoholic beverages with a menu price of $15 or less (Elite Beverage Package), or $11 or less (Signature Beverage Package).  The Quench Beverage Package includes unlimited non-alcoholic beverages and bottled waters 500ml and under.

Interesting, mine stated differently in the faq:

I noticed that the FAQ says that Elite Package has unlimited non-alcoholic beverages.  Is this just something that they failed to change or is this the way it is now for this package only?

It's not that I had to start a second thread because I didn't like the answer in the previous thread. I did not see my post in that thread so I thought it did not get posted, hence the new thread. When I realized my mistake I tried to delete this one, but couldn't find the option. Also I am not so concerned with hitting my 15 drinks a day limit. Between stocking up on canned soda, water, and my cruise having 4 days at sea I want to keep track of what I have left so I don't get unexpected charges. It is called being frugal, and your reply is called being pompous and condescending. I really hope we are not on the same cruise and I am sure we would be great friends. (and that is called sarcasm)
