Norwegian Cruise Line Water Package Prices
Norwegian Cruise Line passengers who want bottled water delivered to their stateroom can purchase water in packages of 12, 24 or 48 bottles. This onboard NCL water package order form shows the current prices offered on the sailing pictured, along with bottle size, delivery information and the additional service charge.
The prices shown here come directly from a 2026 Norwegian Cruise Line onboard order form. Prices can change, so these should be treated as a real-world example of NCL water package pricing rather than a guarantee for every ship or sailing.

Norwegian Cruise Line Water Package Prices
The onboard order form offers three bottled water packages:
• 12 bottles (16.9 oz each) – $21.95
• 24 bottles (16.9 oz each) – $38.45
• 48 bottles (16.9 oz each) – $54.95
Each bottle contains 16.9 ounces of water.
The larger packages reduce the base cost per bottle considerably.
NCL Water Package Price Per Bottle
Based on the advertised package prices before the additional service charge, the approximate cost per bottle is:
• 12-bottle package – $1.83 per bottle
• 24-bottle package – $1.60 per bottle
• 48-bottle package – $1.14 per bottle
For passengers who expect to drink a significant amount of bottled water during their cruise, the 48-bottle package therefore has the lowest advertised base cost per bottle of the three options shown.
20% Gratuity and Beverage Service Charge
The order form states that a 20% gratuity and beverage service charge will be added to the check.
With that 20% charge included, the approximate totals are:
• 12 bottles – $26.34
• 24 bottles – $46.14
• 48 bottles – $65.94
That brings the approximate final cost per bottle to:
• 12-bottle package – $2.20 per bottle
• 24-bottle package – $1.92 per bottle
• 48-bottle package – $1.37 per bottle
The form also notes that prices are subject to change and that the passenger’s check may reflect applicable VAT for certain ports or itineraries.
How to Order an NCL Water Package
The onboard form makes the ordering process straightforward.
Passengers select one of the three package sizes, enter their guest information and stateroom number, sign and date the form, and leave it with their stateroom attendant.
The available choices shown are:
• Package of 12
• Package of 24
• Package of 48
Water Package Delivery Times
Delivery timing depends on when the request is submitted.
According to the order form:
• Request by noon – same-day delivery
• Request after 6:00 p.m. – next-day delivery
The form does not specify a particular delivery hour.
How Much Water Is in Each Package?
Each bottle contains 16.9 fluid ounces, which is approximately 500 milliliters.
That means the packages contain approximately:
• 12 bottles – 202.8 fl oz, or about 6 liters
• 24 bottles – 405.6 fl oz, or about 12 liters
• 48 bottles – 811.2 fl oz, or about 24 liters
The largest package is therefore a substantial amount of bottled water and may be more appropriate for multiple passengers sharing a stateroom or guests who consume bottled water frequently.
Which Norwegian Cruise Line Water Package Is the Best Value?
Purely on a price-per-bottle basis, the 48-bottle package provides the lowest cost among the three options shown.
Before the 20% charge:
• 12-pack – approximately $1.83 per bottle
• 24-pack – approximately $1.60 per bottle
• 48-pack – approximately $1.14 per bottle
However, the best choice depends on how much water you will actually use. Paying less per bottle does not save money if a significant portion of the package remains unused at the end of the cruise.
