popeye0429 Posted April 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2013 :confused: CRUISERS ! We drink a fair amount of water at home so .... We'll be on Victory, Monday, April 29th and would like to know how much Carnival charges for bottled water ... and ... is it available at the bars, buffet, room service and/or gift shops ? I see it available on the Bon Voyage site .. so I know we can order it before the cruise. Thanks ! HAPPY CRUISING !:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ours91 Posted April 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yes , I believe there is a charge for bottled water. In your room , there will be a bottle , but there is a charge for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireEater Posted April 21, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2013 It was 1.5 liter spring water that was waiting for me in my cabin last week. Cost was 3.95. When we got low, I just asked the room steward for another bottle. It was too large to keep in the frig so I had the steward keep an ice bucket full of ice for us. We did carry the bottle out on excursions. Reefer was stocked with liquor, beer, soft drinks, wine, and yogurt. The yogurt was free. The drinks went anywhere from $1.95 for tonic water to soft drinks, to $3.95 for a 1.5 liter of spring water, to $5.75 for Canadian Club Whisky, Bacardi Rum, to $7.50 for Chivas Regal Scotch.

Aplmac Posted April 21, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 21, 2013 wonder where they think the ice comes from What? You mean Carnival doesn't bring ice with them, from a "pure" source onshore?? :D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseScrooge Posted April 21, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Seaus wonder where they think the ice comes from every cruise line has its own recipe for ice and carnival has cut back with a cheaper recipe just like with everything else. when i cruised carnival in the 90's they used the colder ice and the ice wasn't jagged or had sharp corners and the ice had more water in it. i think they went with celsius temp measured ice instead of the much better and colder fahrenheit ice.

Mrtwo Posted April 21, 2013 #8 Share Posted April 21, 2013 You can also carry it on with you. We usually carry on Soda and Water with us. The water is always good to take on shore excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvitatoe26 Posted April 21, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 21, 2013 So is bottled water $3.95 then if you get in a bar or the dining room? Is the 1.5 litre bottle the only one available? I will only buy a water bottle if I run out of the ones I bring on (which are for my Vodka Lemonades bc I mix crystal light in with a water bottle that has vodka & water in it). The rest of the time, I will be drinking the free water :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye0429 Posted April 21, 2013 Author #12 Share Posted April 21, 2013 ;) Thanks for the quick responses ! So, we now know bottled water is $3.95 for 1.5 ltr. .. Where can we purchase it on board? We prefer the ice with more ice in it-not watered down cheap stuff .... Thanks ! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was yogurt in your bar fridge? We were on the Breeze a few weeks ago and there was no yogurt. Seems like an odd thing to put in there.

Seems like an odd thing to put in there. I bet the previous cruiser left it behind, and your room steward didn't notice it when he checked whether or not anything needed replacing. Maybe the previous cruisers didn't use anything from the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wrong. The Celsius freezing temp is 0 and Fahrenheit is 32 therefore Celsius ice is colder. Also Canada uses Celsius and everyone nos Canada is colder.

Kellydollblue Posted April 21, 2013 #19 Share Posted April 21, 2013 When I sailed the miracle in January, I believe they had the 24 oz. size bottles to take off the ship....I think they were 2 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funinthesun1964 Posted April 21, 2013 #20 Share Posted April 21, 2013 True story here (talking of ice - lol): My mother will actually drive out of her way to go to a grocery store (Giant Eagle), just because they sell ice cubes with holes in them. You heard it here. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misguidedangel Posted April 21, 2013 #21 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Water on the ship is fine and the ice is a like a rod of frozen water chopped into smaller pieces..... Canada--ya, we get cold weather...we also get more intense, hot sun in the summer too seeing we're so far North........ Buy a wide mouth 1L bottle for water and use that instead. Spare the pain of briging water aboard....save some plastic too..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock_Cruiser Posted April 21, 2013 #22 Share Posted April 21, 2013 BTW ships water is fine and free I disagree. We were on the Fantasy and the water tasted fine. On the Fascination, it had a weird taste to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely did something to the taste. :mad::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
