I went on a cruise once (only once).....which turned into a 4-star disaster by the 24-hour point....returning eventually back to port (only at a slower speed).
So for this return part, with 36 hours to waste.....I used up my beverage package deal.
What they offered? Various alcohol drinks, and I went to gin-sours.
Now, gin is supposed to be 40-proof (normally). You might find a couple of choices which dip down into the low 30s. By the end of the first gin-sour....I came this reality....they'd watered-down their gin...greatly.
By the third drink....I had doubts that the gin went past 5-proof. By the 5th....I figured it be a alcohol-free gin situation.
By the 12th drink....I was feeling confident that I could do a double....still no buzz.
Along about the 16th....my wife came by to 'find' me (she felt I was gone too long on the top deck). She gazed at the 16 glasses....asked questions...and led me out.
Other than a sugar-high....that was the full extent of my afternoon.
