damiross Posted June 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2023 In the description of what is included in the premier beverage package, it says "...package includes sparkling or still bottled water...". Is "still bottled water" the term Princess uses for regular bottled water? I've never heard it called "still water". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCX22 Posted June 27, 2023 #12 Share Posted June 27, 2023 "Still" or "flat" water is the term used for non-carbonated water in other parts of the world. It's because the carbonation in what American's know as a sparkling water, moves and agitates the water. On Princess, still water is the bottled water not from the ship's taps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeromep Posted June 27, 2023 #16 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Kirkland Signature bottled water is excellent, at least whatever bottler they are using in the Pacific Northwest to stock their stores, Costco that is. It has a nice crisp flavor, and doesn't taste like plastic. I'm fine with tap water, both at home and on board the ship, but I wouldn't bat an eye at a bartender handing me bottled water from Costco. I purchase it for use when out camping. It's a good tasting, quality product. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s where I saw it (in a video)! It was a Princess cruise food review couple and they were on a long cruise on the Crown in April. I am a Costco fanatic so I recognize kirkland anywhere. I even have ostentatiously branded Kirkland clothing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG&Lcruisingnewbies Posted June 28, 2023 #19 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hadn’t realised that ‘still water’ was a European term! So what would I ask for if in the States so I don’t get blank looks off of the poor server I’ve just confused? Just ask for water and it’ll be still water? Ps. in UK if you don’t want to pay for water at a restaurant ask for a jug/glass of TAP water specifically. Too many places don’t automatically bring water to the table although that’s getting much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookbabe Posted June 28, 2023 #22 Share Posted June 28, 2023 If you have the premier package, can you get your cabin steward to bring you bottled water for your cabin fridge? Or do you have to only get it at the bars and take it back yourself? Does it make a difference if you’re in a reserve class mini? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
