Beverage Card Program

[HBINLA]

Would anyone happen to know if the prepaid Beverage Card purchase for non-alcoholic drinks include bottled water (either flat or bubbly)?

 

Thanks!

No. Bottled water is not included in any beverage sticker.

The "Coke Cards" is not for anything in bottles or cans ... even Cokes, Diet Cokes, etc. ... only the fountain ones.

The soda card is actually a sticker that goes on the card of the person for whom it's purchased. It includes bar fountain-dispensed drinks, nothing in a bottle or a can. It doesn't include anything in your cabin. The "Ultimate" card includes mocktails, smoothies, etc. in addition to sodas.

 

Bottled water is available for purchase only by the bottle. Many passengers bring a water bottle and fill it from the tap as the water is very pure. That's what I do.

Thanks for the responses! We have purchased the beverage card (sticker) on various previous cruises, but never inquired about bottled water being included (on either plan). I guess water had not been what I was in the mood for! I was/am kind of iffy about drinking the "tap" water due to all the Novo virus scares. I do remember buying bottled water when disembarking the ship at various ports. Don't remember the $.

We always drink the tap water and have never had a problem

I have never had a problem with the ship's tap water.

 

Norovirus is spread either by person-to-person transmission or through contaminated food. You catch it by touching surfaces that had been touched by others. The buffet can be a particular problem, since other people handle the food serving utinsils.

 

I don't know of any occasions where the ship's tap water has been a problem. Even in the worst norovirus outbreaks onboard, you just need to avoid touching things other people have touched and to wash your hands after touching anything.

No problems here either from drinking the tap water on cruise ships. :D

Nor have I.

The ship's tap water is mostly distilled water that is purified. Check the source of your bottled water and you will likely find it comes from some city's water supply, not "spring fed."

Thanks, all!
