adwo41 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Sailing on Anthem in May 2022. No sign of the package/option to have 12 or 24 bottles of Evian water delivered to one's cabin. Has it been discontinued? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baked Alaska Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 It is not appearing on our Dec 26, 2021 Oasis sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristiZ Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 It appears the only water package offered now is with Dasani. Heymarco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8erguy1978 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Same, Oasis of the Seas in September shows Dasani too. Personally, seeing as it's filtered tap water, I wouldn't waste money on it. You'll get the same quality water (or better) from the Cafe, Windjammer, etc, just bring a refillable bottle. Just like at home, I buy spring water, if I wanted filtered water I'd do that myself :). If you're a spring water snob, then you are allowed to bring on 12 bottles of non-alcoholic beverages, but you'll need to lug them around day one until your room is ready. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/food-drink-onboard-policy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPS Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 RC was actively reducing the amount of plastic bottles used across the fleet before the shutdown, which may explain the absence of Evian. While Evian has pledged to used 100% recycled plastic, it does not conform with the cruise line trying to eliminate the use of one time use plastics. Our last sailing in January of '20 had canned Dasani water instead of any plastic bottled brands. Besides, let's face it, we all know that buying/stocking another Coca-Cola product will cost RC considerably less than a premium priced brand like Evian.

In so long as the bottled water craze has been around Dasani has always tasted terrible to me. How do you mess up water? What nasty river are they using?

cruisellama Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Might be mistaken, didn't the Evian come delivered in glass bottles and Dasani is delivered in plastic? Definitely preferred the Evian and would purchase the case on-board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really picky, but Dasani is the one bottled water I really can't handle. Hoping the tap water is as good as they say so that I am able to easily stay hydrated while on board. cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same think would likely happen with Dasani so I guess we might go without now. I’ll just miss having something readily accessible in the room.

Tami Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 I’m planning for my first cruise in December. I drink about 48 oz of water each morning to take all my pills. And my husband likes to have two bottles by his bed each night. Will we be able to get 5 or 6 bottles to take back to our room each night (assuming we have the drink package), or is it best to bring your own refillable water bottles to fill up on our way to our rooms each night? TIA! Pooch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA! Welcome to the forums! Not sure you can get 5 at once, I believe what most people do is collect them during the day. "1 Johnny Walker & 1 Water Please" for example. Having refillable water bottle(s) wouldn't be a bad backup plan. I find the water provided in Cafe, Windjammer, etc perfectly fine. Enjoy your first cruise!

With the package, you can pick up 2 at a time (each) from a bar by showing your card. You could easily go to the next bar and repeat. They can be stored in the room cooler. If you don't have the package, the ships water is really good. You can fill up your drink cups and ask your room attendant to keep the ice bucket full. sk8erguy1978 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 You can order a case of water to your room in your cruise planner, too. Or just bring a case on board with you, noting you'll be lugging it around through checkin and onto the ship until your rooms are ready.

That would easily solve @Tami's issue without making a project out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
