Netti Pot Water

[mzloolue]

Now that I can't carry on my own bottled water I have a question.

 

Is the Carnival bottled water appropriate for use in a netti pot?

[firemanbobswife]

It is filtered. But if you are concerned, I know they do have distilled water onboard for CPAP machines. Perhaps you can request some of that. I think it comes in gallon size, though.

I have used the netti pot for 10 yrs now a swear by it. And have been on 8 cruises and just use the water that comes out of the shower, just like I do at home. No problems.

You're taking your chances... Neti pots are great, but using tap water isn't.

From what I understand only sterile water should be used

Well I guess I'll take my chances then if it means no more sinus infections (which i used to get about 8 a yr and have maybe had 4 in the last 10 yrs since i started using it. ) so if thats the outcome of taking chance I'm all in. I was giving MY experience of using regular water. And I have plenty of friends that use regular water and no problems.

That's what I like to see. A guy being a guy. I live on the edge too. Take chances and lead or get the *%## out of the way. "Rules, we don't need no stinking rules."

You go, brother! :cool:

Thanks y'all!

 

I used to use tap water, but then I heard about people dying from organisms that eat your brain.

So now I boil tap water to use, but where I live we are blessed with artesian water...

 

Two people in areas around New Orleans died from using tap water.

So even if I still used tap water at home I would not use it on a cruise, especially out of New Orleans.

 

But thanks for letting me know that you have done it and apparently your brain has not yet been eaten.:)

 

And I am guessing that the "Carnival" bottled water does not say sterile?

 

Does distilled have to be pre-ordered?

I don't believe ANY bottled water is "sterile".....but they will supply you with distilled....you can also buy pre-mixed solution in any pharmacy...just bring that with you! It's considered medical and totally allowed.

 

I've never had a problem with allergies or sinus infections at sea.....but I do at home...big time!

You can request it thru Room Service, I think. Seems we forgot to pre-order for a CPAP machine and called RS, it was delivered shortly.

You might need to contact:

specialneeds@carnival.com

and order a gallon.

I have the same experience that somehow on a cruise and I have wondered if it is the salt air or just getting away from stuff I am allergic to.

 

I wish I could spend ragweed season at sea. :)

I would use bottled water since it is filtered rather than ship's tap water no matter what.
