smalltowner Posted October 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find a way to search through threads with keywords, as I could before this website was changed. I am boarding Zuiderdam next Sunday, and wondering if I can carry a few litres of water or Perrier on board with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted October 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Yes. You have to carry them on though, because they must go through the security scanner when you enter the terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted October 30, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 30, 2018 You can also bring water aboard at ports of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlsSalt Posted October 31, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) You can also purchase on board a water package for in cabin use. - Evian. The package order reduces the per bottle price. See if the price is right compared to brining it onboard yourself. Can't remember the package prices, but it has been good enough that we no longer lug bottled water onboard now.

Expat Cruise Posted October 31, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Water is not always water. It has been report some guests have used water bottles to bring other things inboard. That is one reason for in the carry on bags, a scanner cannot tell the difference between water and vodka, gin, rum or any other clear liquor.

Iris5383 Posted October 31, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 31, 2018 During Happy Hour, you can buy bottled water. Same as for bar drinks, the second drink or bottle of water is $2. If you have the drink card, bottled water is free at the bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vms Posted November 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted November 1, 2018 There is supposed to be bottled water as a perk of renting a cabana onboard. How many bottles of water can a person get each day? Wondering if I need to supplement with water I bring onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship's water is perfectly pure and safe. That is not the issue. We don't drink other beverages like sodas or alcohol, so a fine tasting bottled water is our own beverage of choice. We either bring it, or order it onboard. The ship's Evian bottle water package is fine with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have bought it in advance, but I no longer see the water packages now offered in the "Alrready Booked" choices - it used to be 6 packs or 12 packs. This last time we ordered it at the Ocean Bar or any other bar or wine steward can handle it. It was delivered to the cabin. There will be several bottles already in the cabin for purchase - which you can use, and then replace with your own purchased stock once you get the package delivered to your stateroom if you want it right away. A lot easier when you could order this online and have it waiting in the cabin - not sure why they dropped it. Might be they could not assure they would have that particular brand (Evian of late) available once on board, if ordered before embarkation. They have had other mineral bottle brands in the past, and they have all been good. Evian is now only a recent brand option. San Pellegrino, large size, is also standard onboard, but they can run out of that too and then they offer small bottles of Perrier if you want sparkling mineral water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'll try calling shore services. Does the bottled water in room get the 50 percent 4 star discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both packages are there for my February cruise. Under "Purchase Beverages" then check the "Water" box. Also listed a gallon of distilled water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if the 4-5 star discount applied or not (DH handles the final bill) - but the discount will (should?) be automatically calculated on the bill if it does apply.

The Cabana Stewards will give you as many bottles of water as you need or ask for each day. There is no need to supplement as you’ll have plenty. Enjoy your cabana! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
