Clarea Posted April 12, 2015 #26 Share Posted April 12, 2015 In your opinion, do you feel the Evian is best for swelling. I have no swelling except when on a cruise, which is so strange. Would like to prevent it if at all possible. Thank you for your reply. Any bottled water seems to help, the brand does not seem to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted April 12, 2015 #27 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Any bottled water seems to help, the brand does not seem to matter. So, which is better, their bottled water, or their distilled onboard water (free)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 12, 2015 #28 Share Posted April 12, 2015 So, which is better, their bottled water, or their distilled onboard water (free)? The water that is made onboard tastes fine to us. However, for whatever reason, drinking the onboard water as opposed to bottled water causes ankle swelling. I don't know the science behind it, but I suspect the level of sodium is higher in the ship's water than in bottled water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-P Posted April 12, 2015 #30 Share Posted April 12, 2015 What i received with package on vision ots Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk To be clear, the 16.9oz Crystal Geyser is what you typically get if you purchase one of the beverage packages (Premium, Ultimate, etc...) If you purchase an actual bottled water package, you get 1L Evian bottles. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenembeckey Posted April 12, 2015 #31 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Just got off Indy 2 weeks ago. Bought a case of water at the grocery store in FLL for $4. We transferred items from a carry on bag and put water in it. It was delivered to our cabin with other bags. I had no swelling problems in hands and feet for the first time on a cruise.

The straps on my sandals were cutting into my feet, they were so swollen. Bottled water does help. We also don't eat in the main dining room as much anymore, and I wonder if the food is salted. In the windjammer, I mostly eat salads, some pasta, a few slices of meat. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr3939 Posted April 14, 2015 #33 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Oasis the small bottled water that I could get with my PP at any bar was generic labeled "Oasis of Seas." By mistake, I didn't realize the PP included the bottled water so I also ordered the water package from Gifts & Gear. It was $40 for 12 large bottles. As stated, those bottles were much to big to lug around off the boat and I think we left four behind even after giving some away to our friends.

AirMike Posted April 14, 2015 #35 Share Posted April 14, 2015 So if you get a beverage package that includes alcohol and includes things like water - where do you get the actual bottles of water and are there limits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 14, 2015 #36 Share Posted April 14, 2015 So if you get a beverage package that includes alcohol and includes things like water - where do you get the actual bottles of water and are there limits? You can get water at any bar or restaurant. No total limit, but they will only give you one bottle at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we need to bring our water from home. We drink a lot of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinola Posted April 14, 2015 #39 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Since this post, I have been researching, who would think water could make you swell, well apparently it can if you do not drink the right kind. From what I have googled so far, Evian seems to be the best to prevent that. The only thing it swells is the wallet. Think I will go for it on next cruise.

pamrose228 Posted April 19, 2015 #41 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I will be purchasing royal replenish will they allow me get a bottled water with a frozen virgin cocktail or coffee. I always need my water. Also can i get coffees and virgin drinks in the MDR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted April 19, 2015 #42 Share Posted April 19, 2015 In the MDR, specialty coffees are not a problem. Regular coffee is free. However, it has been our experience that bar service for any sort of cocktail in the MDR is not readily available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
