Rare hcat Posted December 21, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Looks like AQ guests will no longer receive daily bottled water delivery... and as discussed on other threads, the probability of getting it restored for already booked cruises is not looking good. We will have the Classic bev package which we understand includes bottled water.Correct? If we have it on the package, where can we get bottled water in the morning, near the pools , buffet etc. I assume it can be requested at the bars later in the day and evening... What is the size of the bottle provided? Thanks! Hoping to bring some on board for our stateroom but hoping to supplement it from the package....

tophatgirl Posted December 21, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I am always concierge class and we have standard alcohol drink packages. We have 2 water bottle choices. I think the regular 12oz comes with our package but typically, at the bar at Mast, we can get the larger bottle with the package. I have no problem getting bottles, we just put a few in the fridge in the room (which I have cleared out when we arrive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffet where they fix up the bloody mary's, Cafe AlBacio, Aqua Spa cafe. I would guess also the Elite function. We usually got them at the Cafe on my last cruise which was not and AQ cruise. That was very popular because you could pick up a treat. Edited December 21, 2015 by dkjretired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanb41 Posted December 21, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Depending upon the package one has depends upon what water one can get. Classic package get the "House Brand" water of the day normally in the large bottles and "Premium package" get the 300 ml bottles of Evian, Perrier or what ever the premium brand of the day is. It is available in all dining rooms and bars all day from early morning to late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted December 21, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Thanks...would prefer keeping the daily delivery .....I assume there's no grat added if you already have the classic package! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built in, just as if you were getting any drink. On the Equinox over Thanksgiving, we could get a bottle at any bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_tchr Posted December 21, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Anything delivered to your room including water is NOT included in your drink package. Might also remember that you can bring bottled water in sealed bottles on the ship as you like. Last, the water on board is filtered with reverse osmosis; the same method used to filter most bottled water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Millennium in November in AQU with a drinks package and the problem was that if we asked for a bottle at the gangway it was too large to carry or hold. They refused to give us the smaller bottles they were selling. Celebrity is trying to get those in AQU to now purchase these small bottles.

ChucktownSteve Posted December 21, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 21, 2015 On Summit in Sept during the breakfast buffet, as you entered the port side, the ice cream station before getting to the food was where you could get either size bottled water on the Classic package along with other soft drinks and OJ. Don't know about the Solstice class ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup...our plan is to bring a 4 pack of Fiji water...for use on excursions/ports which do not have a place to buy water.....and use the bar handouts on board..really annoyed they have cut the water in AQ...! Another convenience gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another convenience gone! If you have the beverage package you can pick up water as you exit the ship to take on shore. We had no problem getting either the size or brand of water that we wanted. I prefer the Crystal to Evian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF one has a premium package one can get any water one wishes but the Classic package has limited range. To overcome this we take plastic sipper bottles on a cruise with us and decant the large bottles into the smaller sipper bottles the night before and take these ashore or if going to a beach take two large or one large bottle depending upon distance to beach and/or temperature outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbenboys Posted December 22, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Yes I have the Premium drink package. The problem is when I go to the bar to get a rum and coke and a bottle of water. They can't give me both. I have to wait ten mins. After waiting ten mins I need another rum and coke. I just have to leave without getting a bottle of water. I'll just take my used bottle to the Oceanview to refill my water bottle.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick up a bottle of water at breakfast or passing a bar enroute to your cabin. Not really an issue IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
