I wouldn’t avoid all bars on all ships just because one bartender once told you to go somewhere else for water. Your silent boycott only impacts your own enjoyment. Go where you want and order what you want. I also wouldn’t obsess too much about saving $3 on a can of coke or bottle of water. Sometimes it’s nice to get a Pellegrino in a nice glass with a slice of lime! You’re on vacation - you’ve spent $3-6k on your vacation on a lovely higher end ship. Treat yourself to a Coke and a water 🙂

absolutely!

It would be nice if they could give me water. Last year, during our first cruise trip on Royal Caribbean, I asked for water at a bar, but the bartender just told me to get it from the pizza place located at the end of the ship. We felt awkward. After that incident, we started avoiding "bars", even if they have a nice atmosphere and seating arrangements 😞

You can ask your room attendant to deliver ice to your room twice daily which would give you chilled water in your room. I assume you could board with your favourite fruit concentrate and then mix yourself with free iced water from the bar?

 

Much as I know you aren’t a drinker some of the nonalcoholic cocktails are really nice, I particularly enjoyed an elderflower one. You may find that there are a few drinks you may want to enjoy in between….

Love the recommendation! I’ll definitely try it.

My husband and I will soon be on a Celebrity cruise. Neither of us consumes alcohol. He drinks Coke, and I mostly drink water, so we will be bringing one case of Coca-Cola with us on board. My question is, are there any drinks we can get from bars for free if we don’t have drink packages? Or do we need to go to the buffet area for complimentary drinks?
