kimbolimbo Posted August 18, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hi All, I have been on one previous cruise over 20 years ago. I am booked to travel in the spring. I was surprised to see that the cruises even charge now for pop & water. I don't recall paying for these the first time. :confused: My question is do you have to pay for pop & water at meal times & when you are around the pool or is this just the cost of these items in your room? Secondly can I get an approximate cost on the beer & cocktails & wine. Thanks a ton!!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langley Cruisers Posted August 18, 2011 #4 Share Posted August 18, 2011 My question is do you have to pay for pop & water at meal times & when you are around the pool or is this just the cost of these items in your room? Hi there and welcome. There are some beverages included in the cost of your cruise fare. These include: iced water, iced tea, lemonade, milk, coffee and tea, some juices at breakfast (but not fresh-squeezed), and some ships now offer flavored waters. The ones not included are soda, alcoholic beverages of any kind, juice, and specialty coffees. Also, the venue matters - for example, you cannot get complimentary coffee in any lounge or bar. You will be charged for it. Just a heads up. ;) Please feel free to come over to the Royal Caribbean board instead of posting on this general board. There are literally hundreds of threads for hours of reading enjoyment. :D I'm pretty sure any question you have has already been asked and answered - you don't have to start a new thread, just have some patience and read through the thread titles, or feel free to use the Search function. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=83 .

paul929207 Posted August 18, 2011 #5 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Tap water is free. This would include in your cabin, the dining rooms and the buffet. The charge is for bottled water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare silentbob007 Posted August 19, 2011 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Also keep in mind that the prices now might be the same as the prices paid 20 years ago ... now it is up to you what extras you want. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 19, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Welcome to Cruise Critic. Bring your own empty water bottles to fill to take on tours. Ship water is much better than what comes out of our tap at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanJ Posted August 19, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Also, if you like to have soda, they sell a package that gives you unlimted fountain drinks, for about 5 dollars a day, which is equivalent to 3 cans of coke a day. It's typically a sticker they put on your cruise card, and you just show that to any bartender and they give you a glass of pop (not a can or bottle). They also usually give you a small glass, but in my experience, most bartenders will give you the large glass if you ask, because they know it's less time they will expect you to come back for refills.

cb at sea Posted August 19, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 19, 2011 If you don't want to buy the soda package, and just want an occassional soda, you can buy one by the can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
