brnycruiser Posted April 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2015 We are cruising on Solstice May 1st to Alaska. Staying in a Sky Suite and wondering if they have a daily bottled water provided (and is there a limit to how many you get)? Not sure if I need to get the bottled water package or not...I dont drink soda and only a little caffeine free tea. Thanks for the info! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karynanne Posted April 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2015 No complimentary water for Sky Suites, but you can purchase bottled water onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justcrusn Posted April 4, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Yes and yes. Dasani makes some nice water flavorings, just a squirt for a bottle of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted April 4, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) We are cruising on Solstice May 1st to Alaska.

Not sure if I need to get the bottled water package or not...I dont drink soda and only a little caffeine free tea. Thanks for the info! :) If you already have the "free" drink package, go to the bars and bring bottles back to the room yourself. We also like bottled water with our meals and can each drink about 5 bottles per day. Try to rebook your cruise if Celebrity is still offering the "free drink" package, a really great perk! As long as the price on the new booking hasn't increased. I do not think people realize that between the cost of bottled H20, Speciality (decaf) coffee, tea and soft drinks- it is a wonderful value even if you do not or hardly drink alcohol. Enjoy your cuise! Edited April 4, 2015 by Cruise a holic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your cuise! 123 Go ended March 31st. Or just fill your glass from the faucet. That's what we do!! We ask the steward for a pitcher of ice water in our cabin, and use the dispensers throughout the ship if we're out and about. I also like the iced tea during the day.

Chazteach1 Posted April 4, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Try the crystal light packets to add to water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brnycruiser Posted April 4, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Thanks all! I dont do tap water (sounds super stuck up but I get extremely nauseous very easily so bottled only). We had a different discount when we booked (I double checked if the 123 deal was better but it wasnt) so Ill just get the bottle water package. I appreciate all the info! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ladylemondrop Posted April 4, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 4, 2015 We found it really odd that water is free for aqua class staterooms, but not for suites, however our room steward noticed I was drinking a lot of bottled water and very kindly brought me some which I really appreciated - I do think if you pay for a suite, water should be complimentary, just a small bottle a day each, like any decent standard hotel suite.

maggie.1008 Posted April 5, 2015 #12 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I agree, suites should get bottle water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project_gal Posted April 5, 2015 #13 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I agree, suites should get bottle water. Of course, depending on the ship, from some time in the next week or so, Royal and Penthouse Suites will get water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity suites also get free water from Michael's Club lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karynanne Posted April 5, 2015 #16 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Much bottled water is filled from the tap. Bottled water isn't filled from the ship's tap. It is sealed bottled water, brought onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cle-guy Posted April 6, 2015 #17 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Bottled water isn't filled from the ship's tap. It is sealed bottled water, brought onboard. And when it was brought on board, it was filled from some spigot someplace. Not the ship spigot, but someone's spigot. When I buy a fully loaded Cadillac Escalade, I don't expect it to come with free gas and tires for life, so not sure why suites deserve free water, just since they are suites. Some stuff still needs left out to be bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It breaks the norm of each upgrade getting everything the lower class gets plus ... It's not really the "norm". It is however a good "generalization". Suites don't get Persian gardens, dedicated and reserved BLU, air freshener sticks, iced tea delivered either. Aqua class cabins, being a class above Concierge, don't get larger staterooms on M class as Concierge cabins are either. They revert back to the smaller standard veranda configuration. Suites also don't get the upgraded shower panel that Aqua has. Sure, WE all like to simplify and say cabins should have the same amenities and more versus lower categories, but this isn't technically how X presents the differences. In general this makes sense, but when you get to the details, it's not fully the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherylroslyn Posted April 6, 2015 #20 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Much bottled water is filled from the tap. Not a tap on a ship!!!!! I once put a hat in the sink to rinse it on the Summit and it can out of the sink with white bleach spots. Sorry but drinking tap water on a ship is not an option for me, don't even get me started about the salt content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
