Buying water on a Royal Caribbean cruise in 2026 can be done in several ways depending on your budget and preference for convenience. The most common method is purchasing a Water Bottle Package through the online "Cruise Planner" before you sail. You can typically order cases of 12 or 24 (12-oz or 1-liter) bottles of Evian or similar brands, which will be delivered directly to your stateroom on embarkation day. This is often cheaper than buying individual bottles at the ship's bars. Alternatively, if you have a Beverage Package (such as the Deluxe Beverage Package or the Refreshment Package), premium bottled water is included and can be picked up at any bar or cafe on the ship. For those who want to save money, "ice water" is free at all dining venues and the Windjammer buffet; many seasoned cruisers bring their own reusable bottles and fill them at the filtered water stations found in the fitness center or buffet area. However, keep in mind that Royal Caribbean's official policy prohibits guests from bringing large cases of water as "carry-on" luggage, though small quantities (up to 12 standard cans or bottles) are usually permitted if they are in your hand luggage.
