what drinks are free

[Crosby3]

:o Hi all,

 

Just wondering what drinks are free? I've heard people bring water on board. Are soda's free? Or should I pack some of them also?

[pmfan]

Lemonade and ice tea are free. Sodas are not, neither is bottled water.

Coffee, (in the cafe promenade), lemonade, iced tea, fruit punch, milk, orange juice.

what about "tap" water? is it safe to drink and available at drink stations, dining rooms, etc?

[Crosby3]

dont' know good question!!

 

anybody know the answer???

[Jtd724]

Absoutely safe to drink and it is served at dinner

[cb at sea]

The tap water is probably purer than bottled water--it is quite safe. After all, every water-based drink is made of it, and all food cooked in/or with it!

The ice is made from tap water! It's fine.

It is very "soft", so shampoo will lather like crazy--use only about 1/2 of your regular amount of shampoo, or you will be rinsing for days!!!!!

lol... that's great!

 

yes, water is safe to drink. Now if you're going to Mexico... don't drink the water on land... just trust me on this one!

That's universal, not just Mexico. Your not even supposed to drink land water if your going to a different state thats pretty far away. Different places carry different bacteria in the water. Were already immune to the ones here but lets say you drink in Arkansas. You will get diarhea.

Is the iced tea sweetened?

[cruisePRN]

No drinks are free but some are included in your cruise fare at no additional charge. Soda is $2.01 per can or you can buy an unlimited soda card for $6.90 per day. Lemonade and ice tea and hot tea and coffee are always available. The tea is unsweetened.

Is the iced tea sweetened?

Yes. Right after you add sugar and stir well. :D

[yogimax]

No, but the sweeteners, as well as lemon slices are free

Maybe on another cruise ship line - but there has been a charge since our first cruise in 2004.

I found out about this the hard way many years ago when I got my first show kitten - everytime we went to an out-of-state show and stayed in a hotel, she would wind up with bloody diarrhea. Finally figured it was the water and started bring a bottle of my own (long before bottled water was readily available, just filled a bottle with house water).

 

The ship's water, however, is fine for people.

Are juices i.e. orange, tomato, free at the bars during the day. If not are they free when you order room service during the day?

[Retired LEO]

lol... that's great!

Sounds like you've been on the losing end.

Soda used to be "INCLUDED" in your cruise fare in the dining room at lunch and dinner but RCL found it was a source of revenue and Poof away it went :(

[firsttimecruiser44]

is fruit punch included at no charge?

Is the iced tea sweetened?

I have been on over 25 cruises on several different cruise lines and I have never found one that had tea that I liked. I guess I am a southerner and like our southern sweetened iced tea. I usually get soft drinks instead.

I'm glad to hear its unsweetened, thats how I prefer it:D
