Bringing bottled water onboard

[QTBabyNurse]

If we wanted to bring a 24 pack of bottled water onboard, is that a problem on Princess?

[karatemom2]

No problem at all. But the water onboard is actually very good. However, if you prefer to bring your own you are free to do so.

The water on the ship is distilled so it is probably more pure than the water at home and the water in the plastic bottles. If you use any ice, it is made from the water on the ship. The bottled water is good for taking ashore when in foreign ports. I just bring a plastic sports bottle, fill it on the ship and take it ashore with me. Nice free water!

You can carry it on, but you are wasting your money. The ship water is purer than most water systems and most bottled water comes from public water systems.

I agree with all the above.:cool:

No problem bringing it onboard. We do when we sail from our home ports. I can't stand the taste of the ship's water. Bleck! :p

We put ours in a box, tape it up and attach a luggage tag.

 

It usually get's delivered along with our other bags and boxes ;)

The funny thing is that about 1/2 the time, we have one bottle missing. Very funny!! I suppose some luggage handler was really thirsty. :D

The food, the ice, the tea, the coffee, the lemonade----everything is made with the ship's water....why lug a bunch? Bring a bottle or two and refill as needed.

Go ahead! The water on board taste better than bottled!

No put a luggage tag on it and give it too the porters.

The fridge might take a few bottles plus the ice bucket, so I guess the rest will go under the bed with the luggage.

I always take seltzer on board because it is my purr-furred beverage. Princess will not care.

 

However, I agree that just plain bottled water would be a bit like carrying coals to Newcastle ...

 

I have a very finicky stomach and have been sick from drinking municipal water in some major U.S. cities, but ship's water is incredibly pure and has never bothered me. If you're planning to bring bottled because of purity concerns, I can safely second the recommendation to bring a sports bottle or two instead and fill them with ship's water for shore excursions.

 

Hope that's helpful,

I have heard the ship's water has a high salt content, thus the reason for some people swelling on the ship. Is this not true with the Princess line?

[QTBabyNurse]

Thanks everyone for your replies. I fully understand that the water is purified and safe in every way. It's just a matter of taste preference for hubby and I...nothing more, nothing less! :)

No salt in the drinking water.

 

Can't say the same about some of the food.

[m steve]

osmosis. It's fine but my partner has me bring 24-48 bottles on board depending on the length of the cruise. It's easier than argueing.

Never had any problems bringing bottled water onboard.

... the way I feel about my seltzer (all about the taste not purity concerns) then bring on your bottled water - no reason not to - no weigh limit.

 

We usually stop at a store in port and stock up on seltzer - sometimes we put in in luggage or if we can find a case "check" the whole thing.

 

That way nobody gets "scratched." Cheers! HCBI
