triptolemus Posted February 17, 2017 #76 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I can't believe that there are 60 posts on this. You must be new here. The original "water thread" was over 2,000 posts if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizDemeanor Posted February 17, 2017 #77 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Its great that the price came down. It was crazy too high. It encouranged bottle feeding at dispensers. It still should be in the Beverage package instead of an add on. Sparkles and high end stills ought to be Premium. Aquafina? C'mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnsail Posted February 17, 2017 #78 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I just spoke with a rep. They indicated that they will automagically credit the difference as onboard credit. I explained that I thought the computer would go into thermal overload when it tried to figure out how to apply a credit to an item that is no longer available (18 pack). Would they just give me the 24 pack at the 18 pack price along with a credit? Would they show up with a 12 pack? Would nothing happen? I wrote a note to my PCC to handle. I don't care about the couple of bucks difference, I want the water. . Maybe they will give you a12 pack and a 6 pack with once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtw Posted February 17, 2017 #81 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Ice tea from syrup vs fresh brew not so good :mad: Agreed!!!!! We brew tea on the ships. Hot tea poured over ice. Way better than fountain tea. Try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it what you must, but popularity of a thread says a lot for the content. And if you are tired of reading this, imagine how NCL feels. Instead of lowering their price from 4-5 times the competition to only triple the competition, maybe they should consider how sensitive the bottled water is to so many guests, and maybe they should make this available at a reasonable price. I agree, some of you don't care, and will cruise NCL anyhow. But the market share that does care clearly feels NCL is taking advantage of them. Reading the threads, I imagine that neglected market share is close to half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you feel insulted when you can't bring your own wine into a restaurant, but instead have to pay for it and pick from a list supplied by the restaurant?

ceeceebat Posted February 17, 2017 #88 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Is there something wrong with the "tap" water that makes people buy the bottled water? I always take an insulated water bottle and refill 5x/day. I would drink a 6pk of bottles (20oz) per day. Am I missing something? Same! husband and i filled our 32oz cups regularly at the buffet and neither of us turned green or developed dysentery :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtw Posted February 17, 2017 #94 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Do you feel insulted when you can't bring your own wine into a restaurant, but instead have to pay for it and pick from a list supplied by the restaurant? Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app I've don't know any restaurants that forbid bringing in a water bottle, nor have I ever paid $6 for a bottle of water at a restaurant. Not sure your wine example really fits here. Especially considering you can carry on a bottle of wine with NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine water has been overpriced for years. Didn't really matter when you could BYOW. And I don't know "what they are by now". Please enlighten me. Spell it out. With a wink, if need be.
