Brad548ye Posted November 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Hi, Does anyone know if there are basic water fountains available on the Oasis please? I very much doubt they do but just wanted to confirm it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted November 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'm on Oasis now. Don't recall seeing any. Maybe one. There are drink stations that offer water. Use a ship glass provided. They don't want people filling their own water bottles to prevent transfer of germs from personal bottle to ship equipment (health code thing).

Grandma Dazzles Posted November 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Also any bar or food location will give you a glass of water/ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 30, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Just go to any bar or eating venue and they will give you all the ice water you want! You can also get water from your cabin sink...but it will never "run cold", so ice is needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted November 30, 2018 #6 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Also, there are 'Freestyle' soda dispensers at a couple of locations. They will only dispense using one of the coded cups that comes with a drink package, except ice and water which can be dispensed without a coded cup. I just grabbed a glass from Sorrento's and used it to get ice and water from the Freestyle machine in the promenade here on Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use one of their glasses. Fill it, dump that into your personal water bottle. I do it all the time. Bring a small container of dish soap to wash your personal bottle daily.

Tap water from your cabin is as good as any other water on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, it's the same water, but the cabin tap does not have any filters to remove the chlorine. Water from bars and restaurants have the filters.

But the sinks are so shallow that it can be hard to get the mouth of a water bottle under the faucet. OP -- just fill the ship's glass with water and pour that into water bottle. Problem solved.

Linking the two it seems clear that the chlorine kills off the noro bug. Perhaps some will disagree but the proof is in the pudding. This is a Friday with not much to do.

iuki Posted December 1, 2018 #15 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I fill my 30-oz Yeti cup with ice from my cabin, and fill it with the water from the water glasses in the Windjammer. I use to do the same with my Contigo thermos bottle. However, there is still some ice left in my Yeti cup the next day. Guaranteed cold water the whole day. When I run out of water, I just add more to the ice in my cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender1158 Posted December 1, 2018 #16 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I am on Oasis now. I have seen one drinking fountain on the deck 5 track, starboard side aft. There may be others, but what I thought might be one in front of Park Cafe turns out to be an odd hand wash station. /Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a Friday with not much to do. Bob didn't mean water from sink was dangerous or you get Noro and not likely you'd get Noro from ship water anyway. You might be thinking about Legionaries.Anyway both sink and fountain drinks water is from same source, filter just removes the particles and Chlorine taste. If you fill up a cup from sink, leave it overnite after settling it might have slight taste of that Chlorine. I travel all time, have been for 35 yrs and some water around US has been treated same way. Edited December 7, 2018 by ONECRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iuki Posted December 12, 2018 #20 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I’m currently on the Oasis and found two drinking water fountains. One is in the exercise room, and one is on the running track on Deck 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john9543 Posted December 12, 2018 #21 Share Posted December 12, 2018 There are "water fountains" under the rising tide bar, but as for "bubblers" there are only the two that iuki mentioned 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
