6 pack bottled water

[scootch]

Did I read somewhere that you can just order and pay through room service, rather than filling out the amenities form prior to sailing?

 

[clten]

Yes, you can order a 6 pack through room service any time you wish. You can even go to one of the bars and pick up a six pack if you would prefer not to sit around waiting on room service. Of course either way it is at DCL prices and includes the mandatory gratuity but . . . we usually get bottles of water onboard for convenience rather than lugging our own.

The water on the ship is actually very good. If you haven't tried it, you should. I am a runner, so I always carry a refillable bottle with me. The one I use on the cruise is decent size (about 24 oz.) and has a wide opening on the top, which is convenient for filling with ice, and an insulated cover which keeps it cold. I find this great for walking around the ship, the treadmill in the fitness center and going on excursions. I just refill it (with ice and water) at the drink station on deck. But if you go this route, just ensure you use one of the disposable cups provided to fill the bottle.

THIS! And the same applies if you're going to be getting something other than water from the drink station - use their disposable cups to fill your reusable one for hygienic reasons.

You can order the 6 pack from bartenders around the ship on sailing day. They'll be delivered to your stateroom that evening or the next day.

How much is a 6 pack of water on board ?

(and if anyone knows, how much is a 6 pack of soda/pop cans from room service?)

I just looked on the disney cruise line website and it used to be evian water now it appears to be disani a 6 pack is 9.75 plus tax and gratuity and a 24 pack is 39 plus tax and gratuity. We are sailing next week on the magic we are bringing a case of water I can get 36 poland spring bottles for 6 dollars I will go that route.

For those of you preaching about the water on board, remember taste is subjective and I personally am not a big fan and would rather have bottled water.

I know it is more expensive, but no way I am lugging water onboard. Still like to have some in the room in case of an emergency. I know we are not on Carnival, haha.... but still prefer to spend a bit to be prepared.

I usually pre-order water and the bottles would be in the room waiting for us to arrive. Since it's only two of us, the convenience justifies the cost. One less thing to worry or pack.

They were also selling beer packages, and coolers filled with your beverage of choice onboard Dream last week. The cooler with six imported beers was $39.95, and I believe the cooler with six waters was $15-$19-ish. Since we received two nice hot-n-cold CC travel mugs in our stateroom along with the beach bag, we just used those for water.

But on Carnival, you can pre-order a 12 pack of water for $3.99, and two six packs of beer that will be waiting in your cabin on arrival. Carnival also puts a one Liter bottle of water in the cabin for every returning guest, so there's no need to lug anything onboard their ships. I wish Disney would take a hint from that and do something similar.

Is it cheaper to pre-order the water bottles from the gifts and amenities before your trip or to buy them on board or are they the same?

 

[JanBlessed]

Learned something new....

However, a PP mentioned bringing a big pack on board. I've read here on the DIS, that you just bring a pack of water with your luggage and the CM's bring it in to your room!

If that's still true, it's what I will do. Also: I drive from my house to PC, so its not an inconvenience at all. If I were flying in and using DISNEY bus transfers, then NO, I would not bring my own water.

DCL policy requires any beverages brought onboard by guests be in their carry on bags, not checked. Time was that many full cases of water/soda were taken by the porters to be handled as checked bags, but DCL doesn't allow this. Yes, the porter at the dock will say that you can check it, but they do not work for Disney, and they're wrong.

They are the same if you preorder they will be in your cabin when you get there if you order on board you have to wait for it to be delivered.

We are sailing out of NY and live in NY so it isn't a big deal to bring the water on board I am also bringing cans of soda since I like to have some of that if I order room service. I am not criticizing anyone who orders it from Disney I have done it on European cruises I just can't believe the markup for disani I can get 2 cases for what they are charging for 6 bottles

We just got off the Dream last night. They sold a choice of Desani or Evian water in 6 / 18 / 24 packs. You can order them onboard at any of the bar areas on deck or through room service. With each package you get a DCL soft sided cooler. The prices ranged from $9.75 to $38.00. They deliver them to your room if you want, and you can order them anytime. It worked out great for us. We ordered the 18pk when we first got on , and then 6 more on Wed night. We got the cooler for each order.

 

[eskimoinparadise]

And they're really nice coolers

 

[FigmentSpark]

So you got a large 18 bottle cooler for the first order, then a 6 bottle cooler for the second, or were they the same cooler both times? Also, about how many bottles would the cooler hold? That might be worth the price difference.

As far as I know this is the cooler. A six pack size

 

[FigmentSpark]

Oh, that's quite nice.
