spookwife Posted June 26, 2017 #26 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Don't get them mixed up with the big bottles because you pay for them. Actually, being in suites we also get the tall glass bottle of water. We only made the mistake of opening the liter plastic bottles once. We have water set as our preference and have( so far) always had 4 waiting for us. Between that, the glass bottle and inevitable gallon jug Of distilled that must come hand in hand with the requested extension cord( for his magic hearing aids, not a Cpap machine) we do okay Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted June 26, 2017 #27 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Ever since we became D+, we have received exactly 6 bottles of water. We'll see in 4 months, what we get on Oasis since we're also doing a b2b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted June 26, 2017 #28 Share Posted June 26, 2017 It has been about 2 years since we began getting bottled water. We have gotten as many as 24 bottles on a one week cruise but usually get between 6 and 8 bottles. And that is each week as we usually do B2B's. I think once we got only four.

JBoshears Posted June 26, 2017 #29 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Actually, being in suites we also get the tall glass bottle of water. We only made the mistake of opening the liter plastic bottles once. For suites (not C&A status), is it one bottle per person that will be in the room? Also, isn't there bottled water in the suite lounge that can be taken out? Thanks!

Bootman4U Posted June 26, 2017 #30 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I am sorry but IMO for a company to which people have paid THOUSANDS of dollars to think a bottle of WATER, as cheap as those are, is an appropriate "gift" is absurd. And to watch a bunch of people reduced to wondering if they have been "rewarded" with such is beyond description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, isn't there bottled water in the suite lounge that can be taken out? Thanks! I don't think there's a hard and fast rule for bottled water in suites. We've had two bottles in the past, but that was before the new suite program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, isn't there bottled water in the suite lounge that can be taken out? Thanks! the suite is set up with one tall skinny glass bottle that is complimentary. it is not replaced during the cruise. there will also be 2-4 plastic bottles of water, usually on the bar area near the glass bottle. if you drink those they will be replaced( but you are charged standard bar pricing for it) not all Lounges provide bottled water and many only do so during cocktail hour. I have seen pitchers of ice water being left between breakfast clean up and the set up for cocktail hour. I don't pay attention to brand names as once the glass bottle is empty I stick to ice melt to take my meds, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to watch a bunch of people reduced to wondering if they have been "rewarded" with such is beyond description. I don't drink soda. not special enough to rate alcohol. to us a couple of bottles of water to take off the ship in port is nice. ordinarily, I won't drink bottled water as I think it creates more of a pollution problem and lets face it.. its a marketing gimmick. I am too lazy to bring my own tumbler from home and fit it myself. but to have a couple of bottles made available to me is appreciated. I don't need to be fawned over that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted June 26, 2017 #34 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I don't think we are talking about the "welcome beverage". My impression is that we are talking about the extra bottles of water they have been giving us for the last 6 mionths or so. Our "welcome beverage" (Emerald and above) is set to two bottles of Corona, and we normally get those plus zero, two, four, etc., additional 500ml bottles of water, normally the Ice River Springs brand. The brand varies quite a lot. And is also completely irrelevant, just as bottled water is. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard54 Posted June 26, 2017 #35 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Exactly my experience too. You would have thought I was asking for their firstborn child! It has amazed me that some LA's take that attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard54 Posted June 26, 2017 #36 Share Posted June 26, 2017 This.^^^^^ That having been said, I have just returned from a B6B on the Radiance. We received four on some legs, two on others, zero on others. All on the same ship. :o Then there was the Grandeur when they tried to drowned us and you left your extra's as well.

Blizzard54 Posted June 26, 2017 #37 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Since this is referring to the standard welcome aboard items... As we all know the prepackaged nuts and cookies were replaced with ship baked cookies (and the bottled water. On one of out B2B's recently on one of the legs we were surprised with 3 plates of cookies. Not sure how that happened but a couple days later we received 3 plates of chocolate covered strawberries.

Merion_Mom Posted June 26, 2017 #38 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Strange thing they left the bottle of Heineken but no bottle opener, fortunately we had a fantastic cabin steward. RC NEVER gives out a bottle opener. Go to a bar, if you can't open it yourself. Me? I carry my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

138east Posted June 26, 2017 #40 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I was also recently on the Radiance B2B and got water on both legs. When I ran out I started using my Diamond drink coupons to get water from a bar during happy hour. Alcoholic drinks came from the lounge no coupon required. I would never waste my time with the LA over some missing water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyMrT Posted June 26, 2017 #41 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I consume large 2 bottles per day. Anything C&A can provide reduces the number that I need to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpdp Posted June 26, 2017 #43 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The cookies are confusing sometimes it is 3 sometimes it is 5 and sometimes it is 6, (I don't eat them but if I did 3 or 5 cookies for 2 persons seems odd, lol.. I miss the nuts I loved them, but RCL found out they could save a $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted June 27, 2017 #45 Share Posted June 27, 2017 and sometimes 0. Yes. Whichever cruise I received the THREE plates (#5 or #6), I received ZERO on the other one. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
