Since a dozen has 12 items, the box has 2 dozen water bottles, a total of 2*12=<<2*12=24>>24 water bottles.
The box also has half a dozen more apple bottles than water bottles, meaning there are 1/2*12= 6 more apple bottles than water bottles.
The total number of apple bottles in the box is 24+6 = <<24+6=30>>30
In the box, there are a total of 30+24 =<<30+24=54>>54 bottles
