Are water bottles free at Royal Caribbean?

On hot days, the water isn't always very cold, but you can always ask your stateroom attendant to bring you some ice for in your room. If you prefer to drink bottled water, you won't be able to get this for free on the ship, unless you bring it on board with you.

Royal Caribbean's deluxe beverage package has no limit, but there are rules. You can buy only one drink at a time (although you can generally order a double or a mixed drink with a floater). Technically, you're supposed to wait five minutes between drinks, but that rule rarely comes into play as bartenders are busy.

On all Royal Caribbean ships, there is complimentary soft-serve ice cream on the ship. Usually, it is near the pools and there are ice cream cones available to pour the ice cream onto.

While water, juice, and tea are usually free on a cruise, you often have to go to the ship's restaurants to get them. Meanwhile, non-alcoholic drinks like sodas cost extra (usually around $2-3 per serving), so bringing those on with you when allowed can save you a decent amount.
