Was it a short CRJ flight that didn't have any bev service? Been a while since I was on a torture tube barbie-jet, but back then it was a 90 min flight so had beverage and biscoff.

Snack basket in C+ is only for 900+ mile flights, CRJ2 or otherwise. Water is always "in a cup". Not sure what you were expecting or who set those expectations, seems like you got the appropriate service.

I believe many of the USB ports only put out 500 mA. Note that the older system designs on aircraft like the 763ER's pre-date devices like iPhones/iPads (think iPods). Depending on your device, that may not be enough to both operate and charge at the same time (particularly tablets). If you power them off, they will typically slowly trickle charge with 500 mA USB ports.

100% false. Water in the ocean is not in a cup. Water that exists as steam is not in a cup.
