Do You Have to Pay for the Water on a Crusie?

If you've started researching cruises online, or you're reading books on the subject, you've probably learned that those "all inclusive prices" aren't quite as all-inclusive as you were hoping. Sure, your cabin, your basic meals, and the cruise itself are included, but you'll find yourself paying for quite a few extras.

But surely not the water, right?

Well....

If you don't mind drinking tap water, your water is free. It is potable, but it's common for the water to have a strong chlorine taste, so it may not appeal to you.

You may find bottled water in your cabin, but don't assume it's free. Just like with a mini fridge in a hotel, you'll probably be charged if you drink it. Likewise bottled water available elsewhere on the ship will likely come with a price tag, unless you're on a luxury cruise ship where such things are usually included in the (much) higher price.

You should be able to find a card somewhere that lists the price of water and other beverages.
