rose102798 Posted February 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2016 We are staying in the Haven. Does anyone know or have experience with the butler providing bottled water or maybe a pitcher of water in the suite if asked? Also not clear on if it is included in the UBP. Any info is appreciated.

Jezo Posted February 20, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2016 If you turn on the sink in the bathroom water comes out. It's the same stuff they will put in a pitcher and deliver to your room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same stuff they will put in a pitcher and deliver to your room. . . . and apparently if you post a legit question on here, orifices also typically found in the bathroom come out too. There is also water in the toilet but I'm not drinking that either. Badump bump! . . . now back to my question please, anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NayRN Posted February 20, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Bottled water is not included in the UBP. And to be much nicer, the tap water on the ship is very good! But, if you'd like a pitcher of water in the cabin, then yes, the Butler or the steward will be more than happy to make that happen. I typically bring aboard a 6-pack of bottled water and refill as needed. There will be room in the cabin fridge to store the bottles to keep them cool.

suometar Posted February 20, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Bottled water is not included in the UBP. But you can bring bottled water on board. Also the tap water in the bathroom is potable, as the other poster mentioned. We never bother bringing bottled water onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leavethekidswithmom Posted February 20, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Your butler will bring you a pitcher of iced tap water and keep it stocked the whole cruise if you ask. Bottled water is included in Owners Suites and above, you can also bring all the bottled water onboard you want and depending upon the port you can slap a luggage tag on and give it to the porters.

Rare BirdTravels Posted February 20, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2016 You get one large bottle of water in the Havens on embarkation,,, unless you are in an owner suite where you get water, soda, and a stocked bar. Bottled water is not included in the UBP. However if you are a casino guest or get a casino drink card while onboard, you can use the casino card to get bottled water at the casino bar. Your butler will keep your ice bucket and pitcher filled (when they stop by). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted February 20, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) If you turn on the sink in the bathroom water comes out. It's the same stuff they will put in a pitcher and deliver to your room. I was going to post something similar. The tap water on board is excellent, and even better when it's cold. Just fill some bottles and put them in your mini-fridge, or put ice in a glass. We never bring bottled water on board or buy it; just no need to do so. And we drink plenty of water.

Starflyr3 Posted February 20, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The options for water are these (assuming you are not in OS, DOS or GV): 1. Drink the water from the tap. 2. Bring on a filter and drink the water from the tap 3. Bring on a case of bottled water 4. Pay for bottled water on the ship - either by buying it 1 bottle at a time or by purchasing a water package (you can prepurchase these), however, this last option is quite a bit more expensive than the others.

cb at sea Posted February 20, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Guess where the water in the pitcher comes from? Yep..a tap on the ship! Same with your ice, food, and beverages! The tap water will never "run cold", so ice is needed! Edited February 20, 2016 by cb at sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose102798 Posted February 20, 2016 Author #16 Share Posted February 20, 2016 The tap water answer was a legit answer to your question. No reason for your snarkiness. I agree that all of the tap water answers have been very helpful information and very much appreciated. As for the "snarkiness", I thought it would be helpful for him if I spoke his language. That's what these boards are for right? To help each other? Ok so I'm through now entertaining his "snarky" answer. Let's move on. Thank you.

SteveH2508 Posted February 20, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Give your ice bucket a thorough wash when you first get on board. The melt water from your ice is then very potable (and cold). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted February 20, 2016 #18 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Ship's tap water is potable but the iced water seems to be extra filtered (same as a cold water cooler tap) and/or at least the ice cubes in it are made from filtered tap water making the iced water of different, imho better, taste.

The tap water will never "run cold", so ice is needed! I seriously apologize if I am offending you folks that feel the need to explain to me where tap water comes from, etc. I was not asking the question I asked to annoy anyone. I also wasn't asking the question to which you have provided an answer. I have my reasons for asking the question I asked. If you don't have an answer specific to the question I have asked, please move on to another thread where you can possibly demean someone else. Unkay? Gheesh!

FreestyleNovice Posted February 20, 2016 #20 Share Posted February 20, 2016 And further the best answer is: The options for water are these (assuming you are not in OS, DOS or GV): 1.

Pay for bottled water on the ship - either by buying it 1 bottle at a time or by purchasing a water package (you can prepurchase these), however, this last option is quite a bit more expensive than the others. add to #3 .. and restock in ports! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know or have experience with the butler providing bottled water or maybe a pitcher of water in the suite if asked? Also not clear on if it is included in the UBP. Any info is appreciated.I wasn't in the Haven, just an aft penthouse, but I got a liter bottle of water in my cabin and I had the Butler bring a pitcher of iced water daily, both at no charge. BTW, I had them empty the mini-fridge out and that is where the Butler put the pitcher of iced water.

Starflyr3 Posted February 20, 2016 #24 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Oh good. BTW I have seen others post that they had the mini fridge emptied. What are they emptying? Is it like a mini-bar? Yes. it is a minibar. And if you are in any category below Owner's Suite, none of the things in it are included, AND they take up almost all the space. Hence, asking for it to be emptied (if you empty it yourself, they may charge you for everything in it). The prices on the minibar are a bit psycho, as well. Like $5 for a mini can of Pringles (or similar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
