Celebrity water bottle or can?

[fenton04]

Just got back from a Royal Carribean Baltic sea cruise.  We are diamond/elte.  The water that was  available to us came in cans.  Upcoming Celebrity cruise to Hwaii.  Is the water in bottles, or cans on Celebrity ships?  It will help us when we pack.

On my March 2022 Apex cruise the basic water was in a 16oz aluminum twist off cap "can"

Depends on if you have the classic or premium package. Classic comes in aluminum and premium comes in glass bottles. I bring my own bottle so I don’t have to carry the glass bottle around.

In August we started with twist off cans, then a couple days in, it switched to pop-top cans.  My wife inquired at guest relations because these were really inconvenient for taking off ship since you can't close once opened.  She ended up speaking to the Beverage manager who told us they were switching because people were cutting themselves on the twist off cans (don't know if the switch was temporary or permanent,  just Constellation or fleetwide).  As a thank you for reaching out we unexpectedly received a gift of a case of the twist off cans in our stateroom.

 

We found it kind of silly that people were cutting themselves on these - until it happened to our son on one of our gift cans.  Still used them, were just extra extra careful.

We found the cans were difficult to open and gave off an off-putting metallic aroma when you put them to your lips.    Prefer Pellegrino anyway.  Available on Premium.

The twist off tops on the cans are hard to open and definitely very sharp and prone to cuts. A trick to making them easier to open is to smash the top of the bottle against the bar top or ground and it breaks the seal a bit so it’s easy to twist off.

I had both on my August cruise, when we were doing excursions they started handing out cans which was not really ideal because you pretty much had to drink it in one shot. But coffee shop still had bottles so just got more from there

If you don't know to be careful in the first place (and there's really no good reason why one would think opening a water bottle should require any special care), then it's not so silly. I cut myself opening one of those, and it was quite a shock.

Currently on the Reflection and we have the p/package and the still water is in cans, if ordering sparkling we’ve been served bottles

I share your pain with the twist off water lids. I was able to do a work around with Red Stripe and Corona at the pool bar. Bon Voyage!

I suffered two separate thumb wounds from opening the water bottle-cans on my last cruise. I'd forgotten until I got water at a food truck recently and it came in one of those and I instinctively flinched while opening it! 

I'd still rather risk the injuries for a resealable bottle!

A few years ago Celebrity experimented with cartons instead of cans or bottles in Alaska.  Haven’t seen them since

[adolfo2]

It depends on whatever they can get (cans and/or bottles)

I have read many reports of people cutting themselves on the metal. Celebrity really needs to change permanently.

I don’t understand why they just don’t go back to plastic bottles? The aluminum is no more ocean friendly than a plastic bottle. Neither will disintegrate if it ends up in the ocean.

I'm starting to get arthritis in one finger so will just have bartender open it and I can pour it in my own thermos. I am Elite so does that mean I get water between 5 and 7?

[Alakegirl]

Yes, you can get bottled water on the elite happyhour menu between 5 and 7 pm

Our recent cruise featured Celebrity's silver-aluminum cans. No problem opening them or cut-concerns and, according to the packaging itself, these bottles are far more recyclable than plastic.

 

If you dislike the taste/smell of beverages from aluminum, then you might not like this pervasive offering onboard. During our recent cruise, the Silhouette supposedly ran out of these aluminum cans and started distributing another version -- probably 22-24 ounces in glass bottles -- and/or pouring H2O into glasses when people asked for it. I say "supposedly" because except for a few places onboard, we continued to see/receive them.

Thanks that will help when we pack for our Thursday.

On Equinox last week they were out of Evian but had another brand in the small and large glass bottles.  I have to say I liked the taste better than Evian.   They were still serving water out of Evian large bottles in Luminae.    I've never seen them open a new Evian bottle in Luminae.  Just saying😁

Agree the cans are hard to open, but the cans have a soft liner in the cap and reseal quite well.

Basic water under classic is in aluminum bottles with twist off tops.   Premium waters are in glass bottles.   Club Soda if you consider it water as I do is in can.

 

[hellokittyluver]

Cut my finger on those aluminum bottles last week on the Millennium. Ouch! Glad I had packed a bunch of bandaids!

[Lena11033]

I personally had no issuees opening the water bottle 🤷‍♀️
