They should not be charging people for their water when the website says you can take the water out of your room. I've had them charge me for my free drink at sea day brunch when it should be free. Etc. The paper certificates and automatic delivery were much easier. Carnival isn't randomly charging people for water or denying people their free drink. There is a logical explanation. And apparently some don't care how much waste is generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time the person at pixel said we had to go to guest services for our gift, then guest services got annoyed at pixel guy for telling us this..all for a dang coozie thingy I have never used Personally, I think it’s the perfect place to pick it up if we have to pick it up somewhere. Pixels never has customers anyway, so no lines, no waiting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally took the chance on a stateroom water on the Radiance three weeks ago and it worked out fine. They applied the credit and it was free. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clear up alot of confusion on taking the water bottom from the room, carnival should be bringing back this sign on the bottles 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't care to be preached to about waste from a company that prints thousands of photos every cruise on many of their ships that are simply thrown away. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cruise Critic was the majority of cruisers, maybe. This site generates about 1 percent of people that cruise. And that being a tiny drop in the bucket for the cruising population.😁 Edited April 1, 2023 by BasicSailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are apparently people on here that are convinced that Christine Duffy and other Carnival muckety-mucks actually follow CC on a regular basis. And that griping on here will actually change things. Edited April 1, 2023 by staceyglow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, that's why a QR code would eliminate paper waste (Carnival pushing technology into the future) 🤥. But they did make great trash can liners😁.

Did you get any of the large bottles prior to this, perhaps in the MDR where they seem to bring them to cheers people without even asking when they order a drink? If so that may have been your free water in Carnival's eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
