ping1 Posted May 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hello all. Thinking of returning to cruising, post pandemic. Do Diamond Plus still get free water bottles in the cabins on embarkation day? How many? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djvcr Posted May 14, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) On Harmony 2 weeks ago, both of us were Diamond and there were 6 water bottles. On day 2 or 3 a larger 1 liter "fancy" water bottle was delivered. I think Oasis a month before was also 6 bottles of water. Harmony was a GS and Oasis was JS, not sure if that makes a difference in number of waters. We hit Diamond Plus on last day of the Harmony cruise.

cruisegirl1 Posted May 14, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) We sometimes get 2 each and sometimes 3 each. Does C&A status matter regarding the number of bottles? I thought it was the same for everyone receiving C&A water m Edited May 14, 2023 by cruisegirl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted May 14, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 14, 2023 We got 2 each for D+ last cruise, despite this being after the new 3 each rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted May 14, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 14, 2023 We're both D+, yet last month on the Anthem we just got three for the room. It seems there isn't any continuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can choose other beverages like soda. And once you are D+ I believe you can get beer. I'm also pretty sure bottled water is the default setting; you have to call C&A to switch your choice.

It is now water only. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you still get water in your cabin, and it is two per person for Diamond. Diamond plus might be 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont drink bottled water but I did drink the coke they cut. I get 5 vouchers so I can go get a coke, but the choice of beer or soda is gone. I finally started getting my coke, i had a can of juice from pre covid selected, and had to call in because the juice was gone after covid. It changed twice for me. I just left the water right where they left it. Sometimes I give it away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a covid issue, but an issue, where, they basically downsized your choices just like the changed the meals, and once a day room cleaning. Almost every perk in the service industry has been decreased for the same issues as increased cost of people, increased food cost, and just an overall increase in the last few years. But the poster did just want water bottles. Remember also, you can bring water yourself on board, which was another change not related to covid.

Had a back 2 back, got 3 ea the first cruise and two ea the second. Same number of days. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new toiletry bag isn't bag at all. We don't get an alcohol package either. Even with CK charging a couple of our drinks up there against our vouchers, we still never used all of them in any one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But agree it's kinda nice. Towels you can use more than 1, but I only need so many more bags. I'm trying to par down my cruise stuff to move.
