Hello.,

I think I asked this already but can't find that thread in search. We cruise next week! Can we bring a case of bottled water on and if so, do I just put a luggage tag on it?

Thank you

Yes, as much as you want.

Yes, put a luggage tag on it.

OR save time and $$$. Drink the the ship's water. It is purer than anything you can buy. OR bring a Brita filter bottle and make your own bottles of water.

They are all good options.:D

We brought a case of bottled water on board.

Wrapped around it once or twice with duct tape to reinforce, affixed a luggage tag with clear packing tape so it was easily read.

Dropped off with checked luggage.

It was delivered to cabin with other checked bags.

 

Easy Peasy! :D

Agreed. Someone posited that the ship uses reverse osmosis to filter water. It's better than anything you can buy. DH and I bring a couple of bottles with us to refill when we go ashore. Have not had issues with ship's water on any of our cruises. Others may have had different experiences.

I brought a water bottle on and always had bartender give me ice and water. The shipboard water is just a good and save you the trouble of lugging on a case of water.

 

Bringing on more plastic just creates more waste that is hard to dispose of.

Someone may have posted this, but it is not correct.

 

Princess either bunkers water in port, or uses flash evaporation to

produce fresh water.

 

On most cruises, they have a lot of waste heat. On some itineraries

where they are not cruise at speed for a long enough period, they can't

make water fast enough and have to buy in port.

 

Sometimes, there is a behind the scenes program running on board,

and flash evaporation is one of the things that is covered.

 

They also collect air conditioning condensate, and use that for things like

deck washing.

Sure you can.

 

Remember all the water in the world has been recycled, many, many times.
