Review summary

The cruise was great the food, the service, the people were all outstanding. My family had a great time however would be great if the children 4-10 had move activities to do. Also, there needs to be more theater nights, the ones I was were wonderful but you need more of them.

My one complaint is that every beverage package did not include bottled water. Why would I pay for beer, wine and soda and no water. Most people do not drink soda any longer but do drink bottled water. You need to add bottled water to you beverage packages.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

We never got to St. Thomas and that is where our excursion was out of. There was nothing at Costa May for the smaller children to do since they were 4,5

Now water is included in the premium drink package. The water package is one liter bottles of Evian at room temp not a nice cold 16 or 20 oz bottle of cold water.

I had the royal replenish package $19 a day and it included everything without alcohol in it. I not only had water but Frappuccinos and mocktails. Never paid anymore.

I agree water should be offered with every package. We are bringinging some with us. I think u are allowed 12 bottles (individual). What a waste of carryon space.

Water should be offered at a decent price. It is $39 for Dasanti water only. Sorrrrry! I will drink tap water and put it in a carry bottle.

If you went up to a bar with your drink package and asked for bottled water would they not give one to you? That sux for all that you're paying. They used to have flavored Dasani water on the coke freestyle machines
