Mr. Click Posted May 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2023 We are going back to Bermuda on the Summit in July and I am wondering if anyone who has been on the Summit out of Cape Liberty AKA Beautiful Bayonne knows 1, are they doing the canned water thing on board and 2. are they allowing you to check a case of bottled water there? DW does not like ship's water and everything I have read about the canned water says it sucks. In the past we have been able to check a case of water to have it onboard as we wanted. Hoping that is still true. Yes, I know it can get "lost" but it is worth risking a few bucks to try and get her what she wants. Thanks in advance.

tompeter Posted May 18, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Just off Summit, they do have the canned water. But they also have mini glass bottles of Aqua Panni available. Not sure of cost, but available at bars, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfTheSeasCruiser Posted May 18, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 18, 2023 FWIW, the canned water tasted fine to our group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_T Posted May 18, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2023 The water in metal screw top bottles tastes fine when cold, it only seems to acquire a slight metallic taste when it warms up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted May 18, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2023 90% of the canned water tastes fine, 10% it can have a metallic taste but it isn't undrinkable The problem with X's policy is they seemed to remove what's allowed on for drinks. Past recent reports say carrying on plastic water bottles is fine, but it's unclear if that's X's policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. IMO, if water is warm it doesn't taste good no matter if it's in a can, glass or plastic bottle. Gotta be cold for me. Also goes for beer. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PTC DAWG Posted May 18, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I have never had any issue with the canned water, I do agree, the colder the better..I usually ask for a glass of ice to pour it over.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Click Posted May 18, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Thanks for all of the info. I guess I will just pick up a case of bottled water before we head to the port just to be safe. In "the old days" we used to just pick up a few bottles during the Elite HH and we were good for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted May 18, 2023 #9 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I do not care for the canned water on celebrity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8fulforcruising Posted May 19, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I agree I found the bottled water did have a metallic taste unless it was very cold. They mentioned evian water for the premium package but did not see any a the bars. THe tap water was just as good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogLover Posted May 19, 2023 #11 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Must be my taste but we found the canned water to have what I call an earthy, soil taste ... doesn't matter if it's cold or not. We have the premium package so we get either Aqua Panna in small bottles or San Pelligrino (yes, carbonated.) I truly appreciate the whole "save the earth" deal with canned water, but yuck.

ela123 Posted May 19, 2023 #12 Share Posted May 19, 2023 We usually have the premium package and get large bottle of aqua panna or Evian depending on what they have at each bar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcpc Posted May 19, 2023 #13 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) I was on Summit April 26. They had canned water (brand was Rain Water) for those with the Classic Beverage Package. If you had the Premium Beverage Package you could get bottled water (brand was Aqua Panna). I do believe the Aqua Panna water was in "short supply" in most bar venues. The only place I saw Evian water was in out suite. The suite had many large bottles of Evian but I only saw Aqua Panna (both large and small bottles) in bar areas along with the canned water. To me, the canned water does not taste good at all.....whether it be ice cold or warm! Regarding your question about bringing a case of water onboard with you. I have not seen anyone doing that lately......but it does not hurt to try. Worst case scenario is that the water will not be delivered to your cabin (so you'll be out a couple of bucks!)

biebz Posted June 8, 2023 #14 Share Posted June 8, 2023 So it has been a few years since we cruised and from what I am reading we must pay for water now? We can't get if for free from the bar or dispensers? Also, we use to buy 6 packs of water on the ship. They no longer offer this service? What about iced tea or coffee? Are they available at a self-service station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted June 8, 2023 #15 Share Posted June 8, 2023 i do not think the " included in pacjage/ AQ class "water on Celeb is Spring Water.. the screw top bottles were awful..have not tried the cans or looked at the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never asked for a glass of water at a bar, but I'm sure they would have some. They no longer offer a "water package" as such. Coffee, tea and other non-carbonated soft drinks are still available in the OVC and the dining rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rxlowry Posted June 8, 2023 #21 Share Posted June 8, 2023 To me the canned water is not so much metallic but a hint of sweet and seems “thick”. I like the ship water better or aqua panna since I have the premium package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted June 8, 2023 #22 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I liked the aqua panna and San Pelegrino. The cans were fine. Can't stand Evian, would rather drink the ships water as long as it is ice cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Click Posted June 8, 2023 Author #23 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Thanks for tge updates. Ships water is not an option because someone is sure it is too salty so that is that. I will just print a few extra luggage tags and bring my roll of clear tape and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardowMD Posted June 9, 2023 #25 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Just got off Summit in Bayonne 5-13, we took a case of water( in duffle bag that we checked at pier) several 1 L bottles of water for sister and Perrier for me, that we carried on. No issues. I didn’t mind their metal bottled water cold. I didn’t really have to use the Perrier, they had club soda on Elite and Classic beverage package, so could have left that at home. we also bought some larger bottled water in our ports to tide us over on our 10 day trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
