demoiselle Posted October 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I would like to book another Costa Cruise, but was interested in doing it through Expedia. Can anyone tell me if I will still get the Water USA package if I am an American booking via Expedia? I also want to join the Costa Club, but the website is giving me trouble . . . it won't accept my registration. Frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenpin Posted October 6, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Try an e-mail to costaclub@uk.costa.it attention Simona she has proved really helpful in all things about the club. She may pass your question onto the USA branch. Dutch guests on the Magica last month got the Water package booked through 'Vacations to go' so maybe it would work the other way.

maryann2 Posted October 6, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I booked through a USA travel agent and water was included. For the Costa Club try emailing customercare@u.s.costa.it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.M.T. Posted October 6, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 6, 2017 All bookings made via Costa or TA in USA will get the water package (irrespective of nationality). If you book via Expedia - USA then you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sag13 Posted October 6, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2017 What is the water package? Do you have to buy it separately from the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann2 Posted October 7, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 7, 2017 What is the water package? Do you have to buy it separately from the cruise? This is bottled water at lunch and dinner in MDR. Included in the price for USA bookings. They do not have jugs of tap water on the tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancer Bob Posted October 10, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Note that (GMT?) has posted that packages will be changing in April, to those available in Europe; I also saw a very confused article in a travel trade magazine to that effect (a clueless travel writer quoting from Costa PR hype).

Cruisin' Lisa Posted October 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 16, 2017 New to Costa, will be cruising W. Mediteranean Dec 4- 11. Since I purchased my cruise through Cruise vacation Outlet based out of Florida, I am assuming we will get the "USA water" package . . does that mean water only at lunch or dinner. . . or anytime? Could I bring empty water bottles and get them filled with water during lunch and dinner?. Can I buy bottled water during ports and bring them in ( I am assuming just NOT at barcelona-- since that is where we are initially boarding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenpin Posted October 17, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Just off Magica and water bottles appeared on tables during lunch & dinner , now this may have been because we were in Club restruarant but only we had drinks package not others on our table. As for bringing water on board they sometimes take closed bottles from you but seldom ones that have been opened and a little drunk from them. I always have a part drunk O.J and water in my back pack never had it taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancer Bob Posted October 18, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Probably. Have you printed the documents yet- it might be on the cruise ticket. Only the agency can verify what deal they've made- for example, my Mediterranean cruises, I book with Costa France when I'm in France. They have a "Basic" package, nothing is included, you pay for everything (I book the "Premium"package). I haven't found a Florida agent I trust. And the takeout place that Tenpin mentioned (they're in Texas, I don't think consumer protection is any better))- check your invoice carefully. To make a long story short, after two bad experiences, I stick with my Canadian agent who belongs to the same consortium, has the same prices, and gives me reliable information.
