HarR Posted June 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2023 On past cruises we used to be able to order large bottles of (non-sparkiling) water using our signature beverage package at the various bars. It seems they changed the rules to bottles under 400 ml. Looking at the bar menus it seems only canned water (12oz.) would qualify, and the rest is over the 400 ml (14oz.) limit. Anyone can share their recent experiences. Anything else but the 12oz. canned water on offer that would be charged against the package? I am aware of the water taps and the fact the water in your stateroom is drinkable. Thanks Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fivelinks Posted June 29, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I like the big bottles of Aqua panna from the dining room to carry back to my cabin and have always been able to get them at dinner with no additional charge. Anywhere else I have not been able to get around it. Please post if you try this and it still works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else but the 12oz. canned water on offer that would be charged against the package?" My experience is a B2B over this past new years. Our favorite beverage stewards would see that we were winding up our night in the Crows Nest and would bring a couple cans of water by unasked! (We had HIA and he could see that we had not reached 15 drinks apiece.) However we found the canned water quite flat in taste and left several cans on the desk! There is a current post on this board relating the experience of asking for a bottle of water and getting one and being charged for it. The bartender was just being literal, as the only bottle would be larger and not covered by the pax package.

HarR Posted June 30, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Thanks for the replies. Pity they added the volume restrictions, as based on price, bottles would all have been withing the $11 limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was AHA sparkling water on my cruise 2 months ago. I like the blueberry pomegranate but it was pretty scarce on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doone Posted June 30, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 30, 2023 On the Rotterdam in March, AHA was available at the Grand Dutch Cafe, other sparkling canned water was readily available at the bars I frequented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are but on the Rotterdam in May no bars had them. In fact, we had trouble getting sparkling water in any bar and was lucky to sometimes get soda water. Trouble with the cans is they can't be resealed and are next to useless for taking off on shoreex.

Yes, they are. I’ve had them on several of my cruises without charge. I assume that’s what the poster was talking about when they said mini bottles but I’ve been wrong before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
