Don't get so drunk you miss the ship

You can take any drink anywhere on the ship. You don't have to order anything to sit at the bars eithers.

The hotel is attached to a little indoor mall with some shops and eateries.  There were bakeries and coffee shops, a bar with bar-type food, fancy Italian, upscale Chinese, etc.  Didn't really have to leave the building.  There's a free trolley that runs around downtown Miami on Friday and Saturday evenings until 11pm, so that's a nice option for folks who want to get out and see and do things.  I was born in Miami..I no longer live in Miami.  Even though I was a little over a year old when my parents moved me away, I still have a feeling of been there done that when I come to Miami.  
Wasn't feeling any of the eateries (more so wasn't feeling the prices $$) so we opted to walk over to Publix.  It is walkable, even on the way back with bags of groceries.  Great to pick up things like toiletries or sunscreen, wine, etc.  They also have a deli and hot bar to get something quick and ready to eat.  Publix subs are a BIG Florida thing and well worth their reputation.  
I prefer to drink my bread (beer) so I decided to get something hot to eat and since there wasn't anyone paying attention to me at the hot food case (where they had mojo pork, wings, smoked chicken!!) I meandered over to seafood where I had them steam some big 'ol shrimp with Old Bay seasoning for me..$4 for something that Joe's Crab Shack probably would have expected me to pay $25.  I laughed when the seafood lady told me that the shrimp hadn't been cleaned yet when I asked her to steam them..I mean that just means more flavor!

Enough of that..who cares, fast forward to this morning and doing some last minute packing along with a guilt trip from this guy:

I picked up my mother to head to Miami.  We were driving 2.5 hours to Jacksonville to take a flight to Miami.  We live in Tallahassee.  Flight prices from there are ridiculous..look them up sometime and then look at the same flight from Jacksonville or Orlando.  We opted to drive and pay for parking.  Jacksonville is an awesome big little airport.  It never feels really large or busy and parking is cheap!  The economy lots cost $5/$6 a day and a shuttle runs every 8 minutes.  And I truly know this because I got to shuttle from the parking lot to the airport twice this morning.
Why? Because of a sentimental attachment to a teeny pink Swiss Army pocketknife.  My mother didn't have TSA Precheck and I did, so I offered to take her bags through with me so she didn't have to uproot her entire life to go through the scanner.  But props to TSA for saving us all from my mother and that 1.25" blade.  I got to walk the offending weapon back through the airport and onto the shuttle and back to the car.  Ladies and gentlemen, this is why you always get to the airport early.
We had about 30 minutes still before the incoming flight even arrived.  I wanted to go buy a Coke Zero but my mother convinced me to wait because I could just get one on the plane.  Yes, she will pay for STAR CLASS on a cruise, but not for an overpriced bottle of soda and also shamed me into not wasting my money.  Spoiler alert: They skipped my row during drink service and I did NOT get my complimentary soda.  
Flight went up..it went down.  We spent nearly equal amounts of time rolling on the runway as we did in the air.  But it was still too long when I realized I had forgotten my earbuds and had to turn closed-captioning on and experience my Netflix binging through subtitles.
 

Yes and I do it all the time. 
One caveat though - they don't want you filling your bottle or cup directly from drink dispensing stations.  This is to avoid your germs from transferring to the equipment that would then be passed to other guests.  Instead you are supposed to use one of their glasses provided and use that to fill your cup or bottle.  
This is a Health Department guideline, just like using a new plate for each visit to a buffet.  
PS - I have a bunch of TSA friendly 2oz shampoo bottles I fly with.  I fill one with dish soap to wash my bottle daily.  

Yes, I use a metal cup that looks like a camera lens and have brought it on 2 ships.  The only comment from F&B staff has been "Where'd you get it?".

LOL I've actually googled some of the acronyms I've seen reading all these blogs!  Not only the ones related to the ships but other ones as well...such as:  IMO (in my opinion) YOLO (you only live once).  I think there are still a few I can't figure out!!  I'm not on any social media and if I don't get a chance to ask one of my kids or grandkids what something means I just wing it!  Finding a huge list would make life much easier for me!!  so maybe I will finally get educated if some of our long-time bloggers decide to contribute to this!
Oh...BTW ( ? ) looks like you are new to the message boards...Welcome!!!

Also, it's irrelevant what someone else paid for a drink package, because pricing for drink packages vary from ship to ship and sailing to sailing.
So it's more important to focus on what is the lowest advertised price for a drink package on your sailing.  If you know you want a drink package, book it.  Then if there is a price drop, cancel and rebook it immediately.
This protects you against a price increase, but you can still take advantage of a price decrease.
