Does Princess Cruise provide bottled water?

The package includes sparkling or still bottled water (500ml or less), fountain sodas, fresh juices and healthy smoothies (unlimited juice bar), specialty coffees and teas, Frapp?s at Coffee & Cones, and Red Bull energy drinks.



Princess Cruises does not provide unlimited complimentary bottled water to all guests, but there are several ways to obtain it. In 2026, guests who have purchased the Princess Plus or Princess Premiere packages receive unlimited bottled water (500ml) as part of their "all-inclusive" perks. For those on a standard fare, bottled water is a "for-purchase" item, though you can pre-order a multi-pack of water for your stateroom at a discounted rate before the cruise begins. It is important to note that the tap water on Princess ships is perfectly safe to drink and highly filtered; many experienced cruisers bring their own reusable "BPA-free" bottles and fill them at the buffet's water stations or in their cabin to save money and reduce plastic waste. For elite members of the Princess Captain’s Circle (Platinum and Elite levels), a complimentary "welcome" mini-bar setup is provided, which usually includes several bottles of water. Overall, unless you have a premium package, you should expect to pay for individual bottles of mineral or sparkling water at the ship's bars and restaurants.

If a symbol is displayed on your cruise cabin door, it means that you are open to the experience and other swingers are welcome. Worn on your clothing (pineapples, pink flamingos, and a black ring), it says that you are “secretly” looking. It acts as a subtle signal most casual glances wouldn't pick up on.

Bringing your own water bottle when you travel is a great way to save money. It can be easy to spend a lot of money on bottled water when you're on the go, but if you bring your own bottle, you can stay hydrated for less. Water bottles are also great for carrying other drinks like coffee or tea.
