lastlook Posted November 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Yes - bottled water is included in the SBP. However, the bottles supplied in your cabin are not included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering why HAL doesn't list bottled water being included in the SBP. https://www.hollandamerica.com/news/NewsRelease.action?newsReleaseId=1448 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted November 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Thanks. I'm wondering why HAL doesn't list bottled water being included in the SBP. https://www.hollandamerica.com/news/NewsRelease.action?newsReleaseId=1448 Read the terms and conditions for the SBP. It's there. Your link goes to a press release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted November 15, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Read the terms and conditions for the SBP. It's there. Your link goes to a press release. Thanks for the reply. I didn't see bottled water being included in the SBP other places on HAL's website either. That is why I'm asking. The only terms and conditions I found are for the Explore4 promotion, and I don't have that. Also, when I inquired about that on the phone with HAL yesterday, I was told bottled water is not included in the SBP. https://www.hollandamerica.com/assets/cruise-vacation-onboard/Onboard_Gifts.pdf If someone knows of a place on HAL's website where it shows bottled water is included in the SBP, I'd appreciate you sharing a hyperlink.

I took "including non-alcoholic" to mean non-alcoholic cocktails since it follows cocktails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted November 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Thanks for the reply. I took "including non-alcoholic" to mean non-alcoholic cocktails since it follows cocktails. It includes water, sodas, juices and pretty much anything up to the package price limit. That would include all the waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted November 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 15, 2017 We've had the SBP several times and the EBP once. Bottles of water have always been allowed. I have photos if you really, really need them. The no bottled water on the beverage package is a Norwegian thing. HAL has always allowed it.

stickey_mouse Posted November 15, 2017 #10 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Not that it's terribly important, but which brands of bottled water does HAL offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastlook Posted November 15, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I would often use the SBP to obtain a large bottle of water from the Explorations Cafe which I would take back to our cabin or to wherever I might be going off ship. (If you happen to have a Retreat or Lido Cabana reserved on the ship, large bottles of water are automatically supplied in the Cabanas, whether or not you have a beverage package.)

winddawn Posted November 15, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Thank you everyone for the information. I'm especially happy to hear the big bottles of water are also included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 15, 2017 #13 Share Posted November 15, 2017 We had the Explore4 package twice which included the Signature Beverage Package. I got small and large bottles of water. Each bottle counts as 1 of the 15 items per day that you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastlook Posted November 15, 2017 #14 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Not that it's terribly important, but which brands of bottled water does HAL offer? I don't recall the brand of regular "flat" bottled water (varies) but San Pellegrino and Perrier are also available and covered under the SBP.

Rare POA1 Posted November 15, 2017 #15 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The large bottles of still water are 1.5 liters. The brand will vary based on the provisioning port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pamrose228 Posted November 16, 2017 #17 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Are there limits for the Non Alcoholic beverage package? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igraf Posted November 17, 2017 #18 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) The tap water on the ship is purified seawater, which is as good as the process used by "purified" bottled water companies. All you have to do is fill your own bottle and you have the same quality bottled water or better. Occasionally a ship might used bunkered municipal water but I have only experienced clean drinking water on HAL. igraf Is bottled water included in the Signature beverage package, or is it only included in the Elite beverage package? TIA. Edited November 17, 2017 by igraf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
