Summit water

[the sea and me]

Hi all , last year when we sailed on the Summit it was canned water, is it still?. The can had an aftertaste. Rather have bottled.. thx. 

[Btown cruiser]

I believe so.

[phoenix_dream]

yes, still canned

[jelayne]

If you have the premium package you can get Evian.

All the ships have the canned water as they are eliminating plastic wherever possible.

Premium can also get glass bottles of water….Aqua Panna or Vennnoo

CBP. Cans. Brand is Rain.

what kind of water can you get with the classic beverage package? The same canned one you mention? Also, what kind of water do they put in the AQ staterooms?

Rain. If you want another brand you will pay the difference plus 20% gratuity.

Classic beverage package gets you canned water (Brand is called Rain).

 

Premium beverage package gets you bottled water (Brand is Aqua Panna).

LOL...some crew member gets the job of holding them over the side during precipitation and filling 'em up....😆  So when you go on an excursion you also get a can of water instead of a bottle?

It depends on your beverage package - classic get can Rain; Premium can get bottled.  There is more water in the can so we take canned on excursions.

I think we'll opt for bringing along our own (empty) plastic bottles and filling them as needed.

Are you sure about your statement or are you just guessing?  I do not believe the non alcoholic drinks work the same as the alcoholic drinks, where you pay the difference.  Of course Celebrity may have changed their program.

Are you? Why wouldn't it? No change in the program. No difference if it's an upgraded alcoholic beverage or a bottle of water or water ever beverage that isn't covered under the CBP.

We have found that if you put a slice of lemon or lime in the water it's tolerable to take on an excursion... otherwise, tastes like what I would imagine dirt tastes like... lol

A bottle of premium water is full price plus gratuity with the Classic Beverage Plan. It's the primary reason I will probably upgrade to premium for my August sailing. One VitaminWater and 2 Pellegrinos per day and I'm just about at the break even point without factoring in any premium liquor.

When we were on Royal in November we brought our own bottles and filled up at night at the dispenser in the cafe.  I’m guessing we could do the same thing at the OVC.  Of course we use the ship’s clean cups and then fill up our bottles.  The ship water is all filtered and tastes pretty good.  Many people on that cruise were doing the same thing as well.  Canned water; no way. Yuck.

On our Infinity cruise in March, the bottled water changed several times during the cruise as each restocking port provided a different brand. They even ran out of bottled water at one point and we had to use canned water.

What RichYAk said is my understanding of how the program as always worked.  Why?  Probably to encourage more people to upgrade.  
 

Celebrity has discontinued  the Classic and Premium nonalcoholic packages and replaced them with a Zero Proof package.  I would not be totally surprised if they included the Zero Proof in the Classic package at some point. (With a price increase?). I thought you may have experienced a change on a recent cruise.

Yes you can do that, and many people do

Refilling water bottles is not recommended, as studies show that increases the leaching of  carcinogenics - https://www.onegreenbottle.com/this-is-why-you-should-never-reuse-single-use-bottles/#:~:text=Health advocates advise against reusing,but reuse should be avoided.
