Any point to buy water if getting refreshment package?

[SuperPlanner]

Since the refreshment packages (we're getting the non-alcoholic) package, is there any reason at all to purchase the case of water that RC can deliver to your room (I cannot bring on water because, for medical reasons, I need to use our allotted liquids for Gatorade)? We drink a LOT of water and I'd like to have bottles in my room and for excursions. Since it is included in our refreshment package, can I basically just go multiple times each morning to stock up or am I better off getting a small case from RC to start? Thank you!

The number of bottles you get per trip may depend on the bartender, but you can stock up.

no need. you can get water with the refreshment package. and you can ask for multiple bottles at a time.

There are also ice and water machines readily available, though you have to pour from a glass into your water bottle. But, yes, readily available at any bar and frequently from a cart as you disembark for excursions which are great to throw in your bag.

You can also get powdered Gatorade to mix with your water so no need to haul bottles onto the ship.

Cabin tap water, and water from dispensers in WJ, are perfectly fine for drinking.

The last couple trips we have been using the “Liquid I.V.” powder. My wife feels it helps her hydration and electrolytes better than Gatorade. 
 

Just food for thought.

Also, will your ship have the Freestyle Machine?   Those have a gatorade competitor.   Although, I'd still being it on myself because who knows if it work when you are on the ship.

Thank you all! Appreciate the advice! Unfortunately I really need to avoid any water but bottled water and Gatorade is the only drink that works for me (onboard they have Powerade but for whatever reason not the right mix), powdered Gatorade and liquid IV taste funny to me and are difficult to keep down when I'm in need of the blood sugar boost.

I usually get 2 bottles in morning and 2 bottles in the evening.  Depending on where I get it, they may give me 4 (2 for me, 2 for my wife), but I noticed it depends.  and I have gone during the day to get another bottle here or there.  We always take water off the ship for our excursions, but most of the time on the ship, we use the refreshment package for sodas or fresh squeezed orange juice.

I drink between 5-6 bottles of water a day on top of everything else. I’ve been known to grab 4 at a time and take them to my room for use later.

We drink a lot of water so I kick things off with making a purchase ahead of time. And I still get bottles from the bars to take back to the room.

I find it easier to just purchase the case of water and have it in the room.  With the drink package, then I have to tote the water back down to the cabin or carry it in a bag for a bit.  For some reason that irritates me, the extra trips.  Food for thought.
