Water water, where to buy? CP vs. Royal Gifts

[Cactus527]

I am noticing on several of my cruises that it would be cheaper for me to buy 24 bottles of water through the Royal Gifts versus doing it through the cruise planner. Does it matter which way I buy it?

Nope, doesn't matter which way you buy it

Nice catch. As a frugal bargain hunter, I really appreciate that sort of thing.

I've read reports that some people are getting the bigger 1L bottles. I wonder if they updated the Planner to reflect that but forgot to do it in the gifts section? Either way, great find!

I paid for 24 way back during Black Friday that was supposed to be the smaller bottles. We board Sunday and I'll be curious to see which size bottles we get...

Stop on the way to the cruise ship and bring your own

My cruise for Feb 2024 is now listing 1L bottles... 24 bottles for $40.99

...or you can bring insulated tumblers like we do and drink free water all cruise long.

Or you can visit a port of destination, go to a local store and get bottled water for half the price.

100% agree.

We bring insulated water bottles and make sure our room attendant brings us ice everyday so we have free ice cold water all day everyday and night in addition to all the free water and fruit juices on board.
