Sending Water to Ship.

[Reina del Mar]

It appears we cannot order a water package for cruises out of Australia. We are doing a ‘Round Australia, 26 day cruise’ and wonder if there might be a way to have water delivered to the ship from Woolworth’s or similar. We had the same problem the last time we cruised ex Australia and ended up buying the soft drinks’ package, on embarkation. Not sure if that was worth it for us, especially as the price appears to have increased dramatically.

On the other hand, not sure we could carry enough bottled water for 26 days for two people on ourselves !!!

 

(Yes, I know we could just drink the ship’s water…not interested in debating that, thanks!)

I don't see how that would be possible.  I believe you would have to cab it to a store, purchase, cab it back to the ship and at least have a porter send it aboard with luggage.  Also, PCL new policy is guests are not to bring beverages on board in plastic bottles (even though that is what they give you) and you would be smart to purchase an alternate container.  Also, the quantity you might need could be considered excessive by Princess and not allowed.  You can read the policy in the Passage Contract for bringing on own beverages.

Yes, unfortunately that was what I thought might be the case. Wondered about ordering a case online and putting the delivery address as Coral Princess ,OPT.

 

 After seeing many people using them (we thought for coffee) on our previous Australia/ Asia cruise, we have been carrying a thermos flask ;  so could fill using a plastic glass,  at buffet or a bar

 

Thanks for suggestion.

Wow! I've never been unable to pre-order a 12 pack of water through the cruise personalizer...but then again I've never sailed Australia.  (On my bucket list!)

Seems a little known fact..our travel agent didn’t even know and thought we were just too early trying to book it.

 

I’ve frequently grizzled about having same T&Cs worldwide..this is another that needs to be brought in line!!!!
