Cruise Drink Package Question

Have resisted my wife's pleading to go cruise for 22 years but now we set sail tomorrow. To make it worse, my entire extended family is going. We will carry on 2 bottles of wine for tomorrow evening then Friday our drink package kicks in but I just found out they will limit us to 15 per day each.
Did I mention the family part?

But that’s just my opinion. Go where you want and stay there. You’ll be happier
Never got the drink package but I don't drink that much.

Cruise Drink Package Question
Sorry a couple of you have had bad experiences on cruises. My wife and I went on a 7 day Alaskan back in 2013 and had a fantastic time. I’m definitely not a people person and I still loved it and would do it again in a heartbeat.
That being said we went on Princess and everything was top notch.
I don’t imagine I would enjoy a Caribbean cruise on Carnival nearly as much.
We also didn’t buy any drink packages, including soft drinks. We had no issue drinking coffee, tea, juice and water.
We bought a few drinks and soft drinks here and there and probably spent $100 or less on drinks. But we don’t have to drink to have a good time either.

So my wife hardly drinks so not worth it to us.
Done this several times. You can get a cork out of a wine bottle without a cork screw so it will leave no marks. Or, you can do what I did on a few cruises. Just buy a package of new corks on Amazon and a package of the seals. Easy to find since there are many home wine making kits. Just buy 2 bottles of the cheapest wine, dump it down the drain. Then pick your alcohol. I used to get white wine and a light tequila would match the color very close. 2 bottles of tequila worked well for me and you can bring your own soft drinks for mixing. They even have cups and allow you to make a mixed drink in plain sight and no one will know. I used to mix my drinks right at the pool, all from the same cup. here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/Smuggle-Mug-1.../dp/B0117YF5R0
