monorailmedic Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 It seems all but 2 packages do include bottled water... http://media.royalcaribbean.com/content/shared_assets/pdf/menus/beverage_packages.pdf http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/royal-caribbean-beverage-packages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdixon22 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 No it does not include "bottled" water but if there is a free-style machine you can get poweraid and lemonades. whitsmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocLC Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 If you want bottled water with a soda package, you have to move up to the Royal Replinish package at about $22 per day. However, it always give you access to specialty and blended coffees as well as virgin cocktails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocLC Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Are you allowed to bring your own bottled water onboard? Officially, no, but we haven't had trouble bringing on soda or water on our last three Royal cruises. Just make sure the bottles are factory sealed.

ReplenishI thought so also, but my wife isn't convinced. Lol Several years ago, we were on Independence. At that time you could get a bottle of water if you had the basic soda package. She is so sure it's still available. DocLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalLaker Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 According to this flyer from RCI 's cruise planner http://media.royalcaribbean.com/content/shared_assets/pdf/menus/beverage_packages.pdf Three packages have bottled water.

Missed the Premium; thanks for the clarification. Of course, if you want sparkling water, then the Premium package is out. If a company needs graphics to explain these packages, it should be its first clue that they're too complicated. ;) bcarney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerel Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Just to reiterate what DocLC said, although the offical answer is no, you can bring on water. Everytime iv cruised iv seen many many people with cases of water and pop go on with no problems. You just have to carry them on with you, you can't check them. If you do check them you will have to go to the naughty room to collect luggage while they shake and inspect every bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klassifyed Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks for the clarification!!! Looks like the soad and water package is for me, with me buying the occasional drink or two. But I have to ask......is going to the "naughty room" (LOL @ THE NAME) really that awful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have to ask......is going to the "naughty room" (LOL @ THE NAME) really that awful? Haahahahahah.... I guess it depends on what you may be going to the naughty room for. I have only experienced it once, and that was back in 2008 for my honeymoon cruise. Which was also my first cruise. I apparently did not read the list of restricted items close enough. I will repeat that this was my honeymoon.... :blink: Luggage was not to our room by the late seating for dinner. Afterwards called GS and was informed I had to go to the 'Naughty Room" to retrieve my luggage. Went to GS where of course I was escorted to the "sassy rejected luggage place" by a beautiful girl who was about my age at that time, 23... Who then instructed me to remove said restricted item from my suitcase while she watched.. SOOOOO embarrassing let me tell you haha. BUT.... If I was to be going there to claim my case of bottled water, probably would not be any sort of big deal at all. Easy peasey. :D Floski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoddyNYC Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 On our last cruise (Enchantment Aug/2015) My husband and I both got the Ultimate. We also got a flyer (tried to attach but couldn't figure out how) That gave us a free RR with the purchase of Ultimate. This time (Liberty May/2016) I am wondering should we get the Ultimate again???

NoddyNYC Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 what makes it worth it on a 7day? The Break even for the 5day was 5 drinks a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie92 Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 You pay per day so the break even point would be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Vitale Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Actually Jerel, I've found that a generous tip to the porter will get a sticker on that case of water and have it delivered right to the cabin. It was sitting right there next to the bags when I opened the door â›´ NoddyNYC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitsmom Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I was going to ask about the bottled water also. My 7 year old Granddaughter only drinks water and the occasional sweet tea. There is no way she can drink that much water to get her monies worth so I guess we will just pay as we go for her. I'm tempted to bring a small package of 8-oz waters in her carry on.

Matt Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 I'm tempted to bring a small package of 8-oz waters in her carry on. Considering how inexpensive bottled water is, that wouldn't be too much of a risk to take. whitsmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLC Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Considering how inexpensive bottled water is, that wouldn't be too much of a risk to take. I agree with Matt. The financial risk is low, so give it a try. We taken on caffeine-free Coke Zero on our last three cruises knowing that we might not be allowed to bring it out. At worse, we'd be out $5. In all cases, we've been allowed to carry it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoddyNYC Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 So what was the final consensus? A small case is okay but a case of 24 is no good? Nice tip to the porter and I am good, or no?

jticarruthers Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 The consensus is that this is Royal Caribbean so there can never be a consensus, only a most likely to occur opinion since Royal is never consistent :) Minimal $ cost, worth a try and don't get mad if it doesn't work would be my summation of the response ....

whitsmom Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 No it does not include "bottled" water but if there is a free-style machine you can get poweraid and lemonades. Do the free-style machines have just plain (un-bottled) water? The Coke free-style machines here at home have it. My 8 YO granddaughter usually only drinks water. There is no way she will drink even an entire bottle of water in one sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 99% sure plain water is an option, I know Dasani is, just nit sure if unflavored works but I think it does whitsmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year, different story,, he would NOT take them, said we had to carry them ourselves. Last time I tip as generously as I did LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
