Leenbo Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 I do not drink alcohol and can’t even conceive of drinking $27 worth if anything every day. Three part question: 1. When they say you can buy 12 ir 24 bottles of water to be delivered to your room, is that one time or every day? $27 seems like a lot for 12 bottles of water, and who can drink 12 bottles every day? 2. Do they not serve beverages with meals??? Do I have to buy a beverage package just to drink water with my meals? 3. can I bring bottles of water on board?

Ampurp85 Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 The water package is a one-time deal. They deliver either the 12 or 24pk on boarding day. They serve ship water, lemonade and ice tea complimentary with meals. You can bring 12 bottles, up to 17oz per stateroom at the start of a cruise. Plus 1 bottle of wine per person. tingtang, asquared17, RafaellaCG and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luly Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 Just want to clarify, water and lemonade aren’t just served with meals. You can always get water on the ship. There are stations on the pool deck that are always open. You could also bring a refillable water bottle. You just need to use one of their cups to refill your water bottle, you can’t put it directly under the spigot. OCSC Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the occasional frozen drink (usually virgin), all she drinks is water (or flavored water when available, that's her fav). She has one of those large metallic bottles that keep liquids cold for quite a while even without ice (although she still adds a few cubes).

teddy Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 I bring a water bottle and those liquid drink mixers like Mio…..although we buy the store brand because we’re “thrifty”. Robert M, sammy79, Leenbo and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskie81 Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 We are going to be taking our first cruise on Serenade of the Seas in a couple of weeks and I was able to purchase a 24 pack of water from the Royal Gifts site on the Royal Caribbean app for $29. This was not linked to the beverage package nor did it state a per person charge. Now I may discover something totally different when I get on board but for now I believe I purchased 1 case of water for $29.

Since Covid, we have been able to directly fill our large metallic bottles as long as it doesn't contact the dispense head its good...We have asked if its ok many times. We usually get ice and water from one of the cafes. Same with our insulated coffee cups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the water package has increased in price to $33/12 bottles. For my 4 day cruise bringing a refillable bottle should be quite adequate. I am sooo looking forward to this, our first cruise.

I drink the Mio mixers (lemonade) at home. Our local water is just so-so. I get the Mio Lemonade mixers at a local close-out store (Bargain Hunt) for $1 per bottle so they are cheaper than Walmart brand. They are small enough to get thru airport security (at least so far) in my carry-on. teddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
