Those large waters are put there for convenience if you opened them yes they are not free. If they were untouched then you could have charge taken off your bill. Problems with A/C should be reported so maintenance can check it out. The shower faucets can be a bit tricky to figure a medium temp. It's all cruise learning curves.

First time ever I have seen someone complain it was too cold in the room, always the opposite complaint

That is weird about having to send money. They let you on the ship without a deposit or linking your account to a credit card? Did you open the water bottles? It's pretty common for hotels to put items in rooms that cost if you use so be careful.

Carnival does leave two large bottles of water in the staterooms, the price appears on the label, $3.95 each. You shouldn't have been charged for them unless they were consumed. Did you ask the room steward for assistance with adjusting the air or the water temperature in the shower? Should've been an easy fix. The WiFi at Pt Canaveral was terrible? Did your phone's network not work?
