New price $7.08? Where did you hear about this option? Is there a way we can contact Princess directly to place an order instead of contacting our TA?

You can call Princess to buy gift cards, make specialty restaurant res, order gifts, ask for your air to be ticketed, etc. Just nothing that is changing your actual booking like making a payment, changing cabins, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candide333 Posted March 19, 2019 #54 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Today, I called Princess and was told to contact my TA, but the rep doubled checked and I was able order the water package without contacting my TA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CineGraphic Posted March 19, 2019 #55 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I just ordered directly with Princess, even though my booking was via a TA without any hassle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanICruiseSoonPlease Posted March 19, 2019 #56 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I ordered two 12 pks last night. $7.08 per pk. Not a bad increase at all. Just call Princess and they will do it for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellgirl61 Posted March 19, 2019 #59 Share Posted March 19, 2019 They removed it for a short time last year also, but put it back on after a short time. Who knows why?? The price stayed the same last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yerdua Posted March 19, 2019 #60 Share Posted March 19, 2019 FYI - Bottled water pkg is now available in my cruise personalizer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissBennet Posted March 19, 2019 #61 Share Posted March 19, 2019 It’s now available again on my cruise personaliser (UK). The price for 12 bottles had increased by 13 pence. I assume the price will be slightly different for others in the UK according to the exchange rate being used when each cruise was booked. I paid for my water before they decide to mess around again!

bemis12 Posted March 19, 2019 #62 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Just a website glitch. No surprise at all that they are continuing to sell the water package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckb104 Posted March 19, 2019 #63 Share Posted March 19, 2019 We are on the Star in September and the water is available to buy. 12 bottles for $7.08. It's under "beverage packages." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted March 19, 2019 #64 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Clearly just took some time for the new gratuity level to be applied. Package is still base price of $6.00 but now gratuity is 18% rather than 15% so price went from $6.90 to $7.08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCcruisecrazy Posted March 19, 2019 #65 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I ordered mine some time ago and it is still listed under "Onboard Reservations" as ready for delivery...cost was $6.90 a case. It is available for additional purchase, but the cost is $7.08. Wheezedr hit it on the head...just an increase in gratuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mud_Shark Posted March 20, 2019 #67 Share Posted March 20, 2019 An increase in gratuity? They don't serve you a bottle of water. No glass. No ice. no service. The case is left in your room. It isn't even chilled. What is the gratuity for? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest update, my credit card was charged by the Princess rep and posted on my credit card account, but I did not receive confirmation. I called today and was told that the order was cancelled on the same day that I placed the order and it will take 10 days to be credited. I did not cancel the order. So, I reordered through my personalizer, got confirmation and will wait for the credit. Annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered if it was a UK blip or is it a general thing? Could be they are upgrading prices. On Princess website: For pre-cruise purchase ONLY through Cruise Personalizer. Package is not currently offered on Sea and Sun Princess or Diamond, Emerald or Golden Princess voyages departing from and returning to Australia and New Zealand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted March 20, 2019 #75 Share Posted March 20, 2019 12 bottles still $6 (USD). Plus 18% now. It is there to order on Regal Baltic cruises this summer. I intend to order one and then refill bottles as needed. Not a terrible price in lieu of lugging water to ship (I'd rather lug wine!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
