Water Packages

[annmarz]

When is the best time to purchase a water package?  Are there discounts if purchased pre-cruise?  Or once onboard?  TIA

There is usually no difference in price. Pre-order online and it will be in your stateroom upon embarkation. 

 

(The water package are the larger boxes)

Biggest rip off in cruising ...... The NCL water package..... and I actually resorted to paying for it with two kids. Never discounted like most everything on NCL now.

Does anyone else have issues getting every last drop out of the container. No matter how long u hold it upside down something is swishing in there.

I was going to do the 6liter for my 14day cruise. I drink a ton of water. About 60oz a day. Plus I have to take meds in morning. I’ll get most of my water at casino. But I’ll also have these in my room.

Why not just buy a refillable water bottle with a filter in it, that's what we did

Mostly because after spending thousands of dollars at a cruise, you don't want to be spending time filtering your own water in a cabin. A few bucks for some boxed water is money well spent.

You dont spend anytime just fill it up and drink it

We were thinking of purchasing so we would also have a bottle to take ashore.  While I have brought my yeti with me before, I always worry I will leave it somewhere.  With the cartons of water, at least if I walk off without it, I'm only out what the water was, not for a refillable cup/bottle.  Plus, I can toss the empty carton instead of carrying it around.

If you purchase before cruise and have a selected delivery day, you don't pay the 20% gratuity.

I’m not sure who you meant for this. But I will be on a 2week TA & then 5 days in Paris. I’m not lugging around anything I don’t have to. Twenty dollars isn’t going to break me.

Let it go, you’re not paying for it. To each their own. Live & let live etc

This is helpful info! Thank you!

No discounts either way.  ☹️

It’s not a “good deal” for sure….but it’s a major convenience! 👍

We get 24 and split between our two cabins for the week.

Just specify the first day as your delivery day and it should be in your cabin when you board or shortly after!

Wrong! The prices in MyNCL do include the 20% gratuity.

We have seen what lurks in the ship's water system... which sometimes finds its way out

Just got off Breakaway, paid $35 for 12 liter carton package pre cruise. It was available for $25 on day 2 of our cruise. We left 6 cartons behind.

You still lug around the box of water!

on day 2 of my cruise last week i realized the 6 pack i bought before the cruise wasnt enough. they have an order form in the cabin for 6 and 12 bottles and it said order before 12pm  for same day and after 12 will be tomorrow.  even though was the afternoon the water was there within 2 hours and the bill was to the atrium  6 for 20.34. crisis averted whew. i remained quenched and refreshed for the cruise duration. 

 

or was it that refreshing bath gel? 😁

Do you fill it up from the water in your cabin?

Wow, which ship was this pic taken on? That sink looks interesting.  What year was this picture taken?

Wow!

I watch people at 7-11 pay the same price every morning. Consider it a gas station mart.
