Can you get tap water from the freestyle machines on Freedom?

[mickeyhereicome]

Do the freestyle soda machines have an option for water?  If yes, can you use it without a drink package?  Where else can you get tap water on board to fill up water bottles? Specifically Freedom of the seas.

You can get water and ice from the machines.

 

You can also get water from Cafe Promenade, Windjammer, and any bar.

So just to clarify, you do not need a special cup for just water at the freestyle machines? Sorry, I just want to make sure I understand.  I know the cups have some type of barcode or RFID.

Someone else will have to confirm.  I know you can get ice without the special cup.  Not 100% sure about water.

Water and ice historically doesn't require an RFID cup.  There is generally a small blue icon on the home screen as a shortcut to water.

no cup needed for water on navigator. I would assume other ships as well

I saw people getting water with regular cups on Harmony, it shouldn't be an issue.

For the sake of good hygiene, they ask you to use a glass and then pour water into your bottle.  Do not fill your water bottle directly from any dispenser.

The top of the cup has to be removed to use the machine.

I don't know about the Freedom, but on the Grandeur they recently changed the freestyle machines.You can still get ice , but they removed the little blue icon to get plain water

Sorry to hear this.  It was a convenient way to fill a water bottle in a relatively sanitary fashion.

You can also fill your bottles in your room.

 

It is the same water.
