canadarocks Posted February 8, 2018 #101 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I sent a message to Princess yesterday and got a call back from Kim today. She confirmed that there was some sort of glitch yesterday and that the ability to pre-order bottled water is back on the website. There were never any plans to remove this option. I mentioned that this simple ‘glitch’ drew quite a bit of feedback on CC. Just ordered a case for our January 2019 cruise. I'll bet this "glitch" and the fixing of it have garnered Princess quite a lot of Water sales today! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjrice1 Posted February 8, 2018 #102 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Thank you just order 3 12 pks ... we drink a lot of water vs soda. Edited February 8, 2018 by rjrice1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgidawgga Posted February 9, 2018 #103 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Wonder how many 12 packs Princess has sold today. [emoji57] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegasgal47 Posted February 9, 2018 #104 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Thanks for the heads up! I see it now states for pre-purchase ONLY via Gift Guide or Cruise Personalizer. Did it always have that on there? Yes, it always said that. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhaven Posted February 9, 2018 #105 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Any thoughts on this one: Water is back on all our future cruises, EXCEPT Australia in Sept/Oct this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunsetbeachgal Posted February 9, 2018 #107 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I put a comment on the Princess Facebook page and got a nice reply that it was a “glitch” that had been fixed. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polmcs Posted February 9, 2018 #108 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Strange.. Sailing Australia/New Zealand in March of next year and it shows up.. No water package showing up on our April cruise out of Sydney. I'll just have to make do with the Sip N Sail :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Yoda Posted February 9, 2018 #109 Share Posted February 9, 2018 No water package showing up on our April cruise out of Sydney.

masterty Posted February 9, 2018 #110 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Thank you for the reminder, just canceled my 2 cases previously ordered as we have the PBP as part of a Sip&Sail booking. Forgot the Sip&Sail when I ordered the cases. I plan on religiously bringing a bottle back to the room each time I return. Lets hope they let me keep the cap.

caribill Posted February 9, 2018 #111 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Makes you wonder what this rep was all about Just got off the phone with Princess...was told if I wanted the water package I would have to now purchase the premium beverage package at $68.99 per day because the water bottle package has been discontinued. That would be some expensive water! Edited February 9, 2018 by caribill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calimn Posted February 9, 2018 #112 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Interesting I just pre-ordered 3 12 packs for my March 30th on the Royal. Took credit card, and sent confirmation. No issues Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquishTheWhale Posted February 9, 2018 #113 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Makes you wonder what this rep was all about If they are anything like the NCL reps, they know less about their own cruises than we do. It's amazing how often they haven't heard or something or give our wrong information. It's funny that because of this thread I also went and checked and my bottled water option is 'back'.. and straight away I thought 'ooh I better buy it'! But if they have confirmed it's a glitch then I will resist for now, we aren't cruising until December. I only wanted one batch just so we could have bottles to re-fill really, we're flying in from the UK so that's just convenient for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatcruiseisnext Posted February 9, 2018 #114 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Makes you wonder what this rep was all about Just another example that highlights the fact that the reps that answer the phone at Princess have no clue about about most things going on at Princess!

rjrice1 Posted February 9, 2018 #115 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Just a thought.. why the other line is charging almost half the price.?? But main question is do they still give daily bottle water in suites. Edited February 9, 2018 by rjrice1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimram Posted February 9, 2018 #116 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Just check our cruise in Oct, 23, 2018 from NZ to AUD and the bottle water package is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Yoda Posted February 9, 2018 #117 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yes at least on Ruby this past December. And the Amenities page says: "To coincide with Club Class roll-out suites will get free daily bottled water." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyball69 Posted February 9, 2018 #118 Share Posted February 9, 2018 This is very odd. I just ordered the water package for a Mar 22 cruise and a Feb 2019 cruise with no problem. Confusing to say the least?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StLouisCruisers Posted February 9, 2018 #120 Share Posted February 9, 2018 If your Australia cruise is on an Aussie based ship like Sun, Sea or Dawn, you may not be able to order a water package. We couldn't on the Sun last fall. If it's another ship like the Golden, etc. you should be able to get the water package. What I ended up doing is buying water in 1.5 liter bottles (6 or 8 packs) at grocery stores in ports where groceries were close to the ship or close to the shuttle bus back to the ship. I saved a ton of money since water was cheap there. We ended up paying about 55 cents a bottle USD or 70 cents AUD(1.5 liter) versus 4.95AUD on the ship.

Northumberland Posted February 10, 2018 #121 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I ordered and paid for the bottled water a few weeks ago. Also, just checked the beverage package and saw them listed for sale at the very bottom of the beverage package list. Not sure why others don't see it, but to me it looks like you can still order cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koko1 Posted February 10, 2018 #124 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I just ordered water 5 minutes ago & paid for it with Paypal. The option does show up under beverage packages so maybe it was just a computer glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsSoCalCruiser Posted February 10, 2018 #125 Share Posted February 10, 2018 It was a glitch. I posted something on the Facebook page for Princess and they responded that it was a glitch. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
