Aqua class Water Benefit

[tiffcruisers]

We are excited to be sailing Aqua class on the Ascent December 23.

 

First time in Aqua class and we are wondering if the daily water service is only the canned water provided in the classic beverage package?

 

We have classic beverage and I do wish premium water was included. Just wondering if other options are included in the daily water service provided

with Aqua class.

You get one can of water each daily

as gold1953 said, it is water in a can.  If you open the bottled water, you will be charged even with a premium drink package.     (we opened one on embarkation day as no other water and got billed. CS removed the charge)

Even though it doesn’t have any real monetary value, it is nice to have a can of water in the room without you having to remember to get one and take it back.

My trick to make the aluminum tinned bottled water more palatable is to pour it in my travel bottles & keep it in the fridge. Never felt the need for expensive ‘premium’ water once I started doing that.

I do that as well.  I also take one of those round rubber jar openers as I have cut myself trying to open their sharp tops.

No, the included package is classic, so you get classic water in cans.

Yes the included classic drinks package is for the canned water, but you can get more than the one can daily in your cabin by going to any bar and ordering them on you drinks package and taking back to your cabin. I was surprised on the Equinox last month, the canned water no longer had the tin can taste I experienced before on earlier Celebrity cruises. I was told by the beverage manager that Celebrity had recently changed vendors after numerous complaints about the taste of the water in a can.

Your stateroom attendant brings TWO cans waters everyday even when solo or even if you didn’t drink the ones left the day before

Even though we always have Premium Packages I often drink the melted ice water.    In my humble opinion it tastes as good or better than the stuff in the can (which is filtered water). 

 

My preference is for San Pellegrino.      I also like to take the canned water with us when on excursions.

Yes, I'm solo and have gotten 2 every day.

Thanks everyone. We will be traveling with water bottles. We will definitely try pouring water from cans into them to help clear the metallic flavor. Appreciate the tip!

I thought the water tasted better as well.  It also seemed easier to open - I didn't cut my hand like I have on the original cans.

we were 2 people and got 2 cans and yes even if we didn't drink the prior cans. We were on a move up bid so no drink package. We had to collect water in the happy hour time for extras

The cans are often difficult to open.  So bring a gripper to help open them to avoid frustration.

You must be among the lucky not having arthritis in the hands.  We struggled at times opening the cans.

You get one, and your invisible friend whose cruise you paid for gets one. 😉

We did Aqua on the Reflection last year and had 2 aluminum bottles of water delivered every day - even if we hadn't consumed the prior ones. We had the premium beverage package and brought Evian water from the bars as we did not enjoy the taste of the canned water and disliked being cut in our lips when trying to drink from the cans... At one point we started to bring the cans to leave them in public areas as it seems as if our room steward got paid for each can he delivered to our room, regardless of us not drinking them...

Actually I do have some arthritis in one hand.  Not sure when you sailed, but maybe you got one of the original cans.  The current ones are easier to open than the ones they originally had.  Try bringing a rubber jar opener - it helps me a lot (although I usually don't need it anymore on the newer versions)

We sailed on the Beyond this year.  Bartenders were giving some cans a little twist of the cap for some cruisers as an assist.

I was in Aqua Class during one of the President's cruises. Someone asked in a Q&A session why they have not included bottled water in Aqua Class. LLP responded that she didn't understand, but the bottled water was restored for that cruise only. I did a B2B in Aqua Class and the bottled water was discontinued in the cruise that followed and it vanished in the cruises that followed. I always have the premium package so stopping at a bar is not a problem.

I bring my Brita water bottle with the filter. I pour it into that and it helps the taste. The now have bottle refill station around too.

Hope this doesn't break the rules about hijacking thread but my question is about water and everyone is mostly talking about water not just  aqua class....

We ONLY drink water, have classic packages, WONT drink can water... Would celebrity let me convert my classic packages to Zero proof  packages that DO include bottled water?? Figure it's a win money wise for then... ps I WONT drink tap water either, encase your suggestion might be remove classic packages and drink tap

[Brad1185]

We got the aluminum cans in aqua class on our June cruise. We did not care for the metallic taste. We had the premium package so would go get bottle water at the cafe.
