Dragonjojo Posted February 18, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Going on a 7 Carnival cruise on the 5th of March on the Dream. Would you guys recommend bringing bottled water? If so should it be carry on? What about a water bottle? I use a stainless steel (Klean Kanteen) that I love and was thinking about bringing it.Would it being stainless steel cause problems or would I just need to make sure that when boarding the ship it was always empty and carry it on? [*]If the stainless steel isn't recommended do you guys recommend bringing any sort of reusable water bottle? Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted February 18, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Bring the water bottle and refill it with the tap water from the ship. That water is purer than bottled water and free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonjojo Posted February 18, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hah! Much easier then lugging around a bunch of bottled water. Thank you! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Mom Posted February 18, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Bring the water bottle and refill it with the tap water from the ship. That water is purer than bottled water and free. That's what I was going to say. Also, I might bring one of those BPA free, unbreakable, reusable plastic bottles (like you can buy in the Target sporting goods section) instead of metal. If you are out and about in a hot climate, the metal ones can heat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 19, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 19, 2011 You can bring any liquid (except alot of alcohol!!!!) onto cruiseships. If you don't bring a bottle, they have glasses! You'll be able to drink water, no matter what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie J. Posted February 19, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 19, 2011 water at the buffet is very good - just keep refilling you own bottle. If you aren't flying you can bring it full. We have two stainless thermoses that Carnival gave us and we use them on all our cruises, never a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be aware, the ship's water is as good as any bottled water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted February 19, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 19, 2011 We always take the large bottled water they put in our room (they charge us $1-2 for it) and than just refill it every morning. In most cases the water on the ship is actually made on-board via desalinization. Sometimes the ship buys water if the sail time between ports is short (the sailing time is important because they use the heat from the ships smoke stacks to desalinate the water). We learned all about this on a Q&A with the Captain aboard the Noordam. Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're picky about water and have found the water onboard ships to be usually quite good. I would remind everyone to keep good sanitary practices by not filling personal water bottles directly at the buffet beverage stations. Instead, fill a clean glass from the buffet and then transfer the water into personal water bottles. beachchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
