    Loved this, thank you!! I'm going to be embarking from SJ in August but the ship doesn't leave till 8:30p and I am so glad to have seen this side of El Morro in the light of day!

    DDaley got a reaction from monctonguy in Water with DBP   
    I am sailing Freedom in August and purchased the DBP for my boyfriend and I for $44pp/pd. I am a HEAVY water drinker as well as a fairly heavy drinker when it comes to vacation. On a regular day I drink around 96 ounces of water which only goes up when in the sun and drinking cocktails all day! I can easily drink 5-6 cocktails a day to make my break-even price but will be needing upwards of 120 ounces of water a day to try and battle my dehydration. 
    How does getting water work while on board? I have heard to ask the bartender for a bottle with each cocktail but how many will they conceivably let me have per day and do they offer any size of bottle larger than a lil 12 oz'er? I will be bringing my Hydroflask of course, but I hate to think of all the waste of those plastic bottles since I could be drinking 10 of them a day. 
    I am not a bottled water snob by any means (San Diego county tap water tastes great to me!) so how do people who haven't purchased a drink package get water? Are there filling stations for bottles like you find in an airport? I LOVE THOSE. 
    SOS! As a strictly water and liquor drinker I need to know the other half of my beverage choices is also easily obtainable. Thanks for any thoughts! ?

    Just a reminder, table requests via that email are only for traditional dinner times (early or late). If you are MTD, they assign tables when you arrive for your time.

    I have a related MTD dining question for embarkation day; I reserved a 5:45 MTD but on every Cruise Compass I have seen, the San Juan muster is at 5:45p for a departure at 8:30p. Would they let me schedule dinner if it were during muster?

    Would Royal's website let you schedule during muster?  Probably yes but I wouldn't worry about it.  The dining room will definitely be closed during muster and I highly doubt it is open before muster.  Just plan to head to the dining room after muster and they will take care of you.  You could also stop by the dining room when you board and update your reservation based on their recommendation.

    After sail away I went back to my cabin to upload some pictures and worked on the blog. 
    This included grabbing my GoPro off the balcony to see how my sail away time lapse came out.
    I was pretty tired after a couple of late nights and long days so I headed to bed early after setting out my room service door tag for my morning breakfast.

    On the Allure we were able to get one bottle/per card/per bar visit and I believe we were able to get more than one as we were exiting the ships for port call.    There was no limit so we would stockpile bottles for the room.  There are plenty of recycle containers on the pool deck.

    We had no problem getting water whenever we wanted. Always stopped at a bar on the way back from wherever to the cabin to keep the fridge stocked. A lot of the bartenders even asked during drink orders if we wanted bottles of water.

    Love this one! I already had them on my extensive packing list for my sailing in August. 
    I also love to travel to beaches with beach gear so you're set even without a cabana, chair or towel. I bring an old sheet for sitting on, pop-up beach tent for shade, my own quick-dry towel, oversize mesh bag and lots of supplies for beach cocktails - cooler bag, 2 reusable plastic bottles, insulated camelpak for water. I get thirsty on vacation!!

    I was just on Freedom last week and I can tell you that the ship's water (out of the faucet) was terrible.  Normally ships' water is very drinkable but on Freedom last week and on Liberty the last time we were on that ship, the water was skunky.  I definitely recommend getting a beverage package if you are a big water drinker.

    Yes, getting bottles of water won't be an issue. Size wise it is the half liter/16.9 oz bottles of generic brand filtered water.
    Limits, none. Asking kindly I've been able to get more than one bottle at a time. Only major challenge can be later at night once the bars start to shutdown.
