Cruise News: Passengers Demand Free Bottle Water
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Passengers on Carnival Cruise ships are expressing dissatisfaction regarding the cost and availability of bottled water. The controversy stems from the fact that travelers are prohibited from bringing their own bottled water onto the vessels. Furthermore, the price of bottled water has seen a significant increase, rising from 4.95 dollars for a case of twelve to 17.64 dollars for the same amount in under two years. In response to these complaints, Carnival brand ambassador John Heel defended the pricing structure. He stated that the company continues to offer some of the most competitive prices within the travel industry. Additionally, he noted that passengers have the option to consume free tap water instead of purchasing bottled options.
