NW Pacific Posted August 5, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Can you purchase in advance using your OBC for the Aquafina water pkgs. If not, can you buy them once onboard with your OBC? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted August 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2017 OBC is used on-board. Yes, you can use it to buy the bottled water package after you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW Pacific Posted August 5, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted August 5, 2017 The prices online pre cruise stated reduced rates; $14. something for a 6 pack. Figure once onboard the prices will increase. Hoping to buy in advance, but doesn't look like I can use OBC until I get onboard. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted August 5, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2017 OBC means on board credit, if you aren't on your cruise, you can't use your OBC, i.e. You have to board first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highpeaklad Posted August 5, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2017 See if you can find a European with the water included. We got 1 litre bottle per person per day. At the end of the 10 days we had 10 bottles going spare ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newistcruiseaddict Posted August 5, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I'm quoted $17.62 ($14.95 plus 18% gratuity) for a 6 pk of 1 liter bottles and per the website, this equates to a 55% savings. I hate spending that much but if purchased on the ship individually, its $2.75 for a smaller bottle (16oz I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you don't even need to purchase water, its free from any bar, any tap, any dispenser in the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ankles swell when I drink the ships water. So does my husband's, so its hardly a coincidence. Plus..how far is that dispenser from deck 8 on the Getaway when I wake up in the middle of the night thirsty? That free drink package is great, but I have to rehydrate at some point and I tend to do it at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckybee Posted August 6, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 6, 2017 OBC means on board credit, if you aren't on your cruise, you can't use your OBC, i.e. You have to board first. To be fair, to the OP the answer is not as obvious as you may think, and varies with the cruiselines. We just booked with Royal for next year and our on board credits can be used for any advance purchases that we will use while onboard including bottled water, specialty dining, water, shore excursions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
