There are "included" beverages and tea is plain and unsweetened. There is always Tea and coffee and water. In the windjammer there is punch available during meals. Soda is an extra charge unless you buy a soda pass which is a flat fee and then it's all you want.

You sweeten your own tea. You can make your own free drinks at different food outlets throughout the ship and on the Royal Promenade.

Is there bottled water on the ships or in your stateroom or do you have to pay for each bottle. We are going to Mexico so we really want clean water with us.

Bottled water is available in your cabin and at the departure gangway for a fee.

The ship water is filtered. We just fill up our own containers and take them ashore.

The ship's water is fine...your ice is made with it, the food is made with it, the coffee, tea and lemonade is made with it....probably, even the OJ is made with it. There's no need to BUY water, or lug water!

We prefer to bring our own bottled water on board. We ask the room steward to empty the refrigerator / cooler and store them in there.

Just so you know, it's "tea" and not tea ... I'm not sure it was ever brewed or has touched a natural leaf. :)

The tap water on board is fine. We bring an empty sports water bottle and the individual packets of whatever we like to drink (Crystal Lite, Iced Tea, etc) We mix the packets with water and add ice from the room. Goes with us everywhere! The packets are so small- they fit anywhere and go through all security checkpoints.

On my last couple of cruised I had my own squeeze bottle and mixed in the lemonade etc....was better than what lemonade was served aboard the ship. It is a cost effective method of having flavored drinks you like...and keep the cost down. No need to drink and pay for bottled water when what is made fresh from the sea is very clean.

Last time I brought a bottle of the powdered lipton diet iced tea with me and just spooned it in and added ice. Do you think those bottles are still allowed on? Security has gotten tighter and I would hate to have them throw it away as suspicious!. It's caffeine free, which I have to have (because caffeine makes my heart race) so it's about my only diet drink option short of lugging caffeine free diet coke with me on board.

I would give it a try... I doubt they will take it. Mostly they just look for alcohol.
