Moviegirlnyorlando Posted December 29, 2013 #26 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Last few cruises' date=' we brought on Mountain Dew and Sobe drinks. I'm not a fan of cans (hate the metallic taste) so I bring 2-liter and individual 16 or 24 oz bottles. I do not care for the taste of Coke/Sprite products, especially the diet versions. I did drink a lot of the lemonade available in the Horizon Court and by the pool.[/quote'] I liked the lemonade too and had it several timesl as we didn't manage to get the water I also bought several bottles of water at the pool and drank the large bottle plus one in our room, and drank the water served with dinner, but I prefer bottled so felt I didn't drink nearly as much water I do on lbs on board which isn't good with all the extra calories you eat on a cruise and time in the sun. I wasn't a fan of the iced teal I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted December 30, 2013 #27 Share Posted December 30, 2013 On MSC they didn't even give you water with meals. :eek: Europeans are accustomed to paying for water. In the United States and Canada, cold tap water is automatically served at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, unless a restaurant patron specifically requests that such water not be served. Americans and Canadians do not pay extra for tap water, unless they visit Europe. from http://cruiseforums.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1212144 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sally885 Posted January 1, 2014 #28 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Actually, I don't understand why people go to the trouble to haul drinks aboard that they can easily buy on the ship. :confused: Becuz I'm tired of being nickeled and dimed. Pay for coffee? Pay for soda? Each of which costs pennies a serving. Just add $xx on to the thousands I'm already paying, then just tell me it's free.

Wehwalt Posted January 1, 2014 #29 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I am taking a 35 pack of bottled water on board with me for my two weeks on the Ruby, which I very likely will use, climate being what it is. This way I can be assured of having cold bottles of water to take ashore. I believe they charge several dollars for Evian at the gangway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wehwalt Posted January 2, 2014 #31 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yep, or Crystal Geyser spring water on some ships. ~sent using Cruise Critic app~ Geez, given that Crystal Geyser is about the cheapest spring water you can buy, that's almost insulting. I've known some (very minor league) musical performers and that was what they used to order for the dressing room and stage because it was cheap and they'd get more out of their rider (i.e. food and drink the venue supplied).
