Yorkvillain Posted August 18, 2015 #26 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The bottled water package consists of 1L bottles of Evian. Oh yes. 1L. That's right. I agree, the price is still a little too steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chermilo Posted August 19, 2015 #27 Share Posted August 19, 2015 On longer cruises, I buy water at the first port we get to and carry it back on. Never have had a problem in the 5 years I have been doing that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted August 19, 2015 #28 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I agree. If they would lower the price to twice retail instead of 10X, they would save themselves a lot of hassle witholding suspicious luggage, and still make a profit. That's a good post, I can see where the cost for RC to provide you with quality water 500 miles from anywhere and handle the waste will cause the water to cost more than what it would for me at my neighborhood store, but $4.50 per litre sound more like a profit device than a convenience charge.

Carnival will sell you a 12 pack of 16oz bottles for $2.99. Available for pre-order or you can order on the ship as needed for the same price. 25 cents a bottle and I am sure they are making a huge margin on this, but it's a customer friendly price point.

I would gladly pay that price, rather than lugging a case of water around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
