coffeebean Posted April 19, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2007 A friend of mine told me that she read in a trade magazine that Carnival Cruise Lines is no longer offering free drinking water from the fountains. Is this true??? I can't imagine having to pay for all drinking water. Has anyone heard of this or has experienced it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumballz Posted April 19, 2007 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2007 It was free in January, on the Triumph. You could buy bottled water if you wanted though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacruizer Posted April 19, 2007 #6 Share Posted April 19, 2007 There's no way they'd do something crazy like that - heat , humidity, and no drinking water available? Too much risk of people not wanting to spend the money and getting dehydrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wennfred Posted April 19, 2007 #7 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Fountain water in all Dining rooms and throughout the ship is Free. Bottle was you have to pay for. We took a Small 6 Pack and 2 Large bottles of Fiji water and it lasted us the whole week. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much risk of people not wanting to spend the money and getting dehydrated. i agree. talk about risk management. a crazy move like that wld only invite a ton of lawsuits in a state (having jurisdiction) which has an incredible reputation for being nothing, if not overly litigous.

mh1973 Posted April 19, 2007 #14 Share Posted April 19, 2007 can you get different sizes from the fountain? I like to put crystal light in my water and was hoping that I could get a large water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernCaribbean Posted April 19, 2007 #15 Share Posted April 19, 2007 No. But they do charge extra if you want pillows on your bed. Rumor has it, they will start attaching a bill to the chocolate on the pillow as well. You will get the shopper section of the capers but the rest will cost you $1 per page ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnesota Lady Posted April 19, 2007 #16 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Someone said, the great word of the day is "SAID or HEARD or MENTIONED or KNOWS AS GOSPEL" that Carnival for going to start charging for sheets of toliet paper. HAHAHA, plus to reserve a cabin, balconies are more and suites, they will charge you four times the amount. :D :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnesota Lady Posted April 19, 2007 #17 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Oh by the way, one of the RV Magazines said Carnival Cruise Lines went belly up and are encouraging you to buy the latest RV that can walk on water. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truecruiser Posted April 19, 2007 #18 Share Posted April 19, 2007 can you get different sizes from the fountain? I like to put crystal light in my water and was hoping that I could get a large water. the water is self serve from the beverage stations on lido. there are usually 2 sizes of cups, but no guarantee that both sizes are out there together at all times. you can bring a cup if you like or, you can buy a souvenier keep cool cup w/ lid in the gift shop if you find the cups too small for your liking.

DocF Posted April 19, 2007 #22 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I carry around a wide-mouth large bike water bottle which I keep filled with water and ice. This works great as I tend to spill a glass as I wander about. :p Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeebean Posted April 19, 2007 Author #25 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I could not believe that CCL would not supply free drinking water and I told my friend that. I was absolutely shocked at the thought that a cruise line would not supply free water. My friend read to me rerbatem from the trade magazine which states that Carnival Cruise Lines is stooping to a new low and will not supply free drinking water. Personally, I still don't believe it but I told my friend I that would post this question on the board. (She is not so good with computers). Thank you all for your responses. I will let my friend know that it most certainly is NOT TRUE what she read in the trade magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
