Bottle Water on Carnival

[Senvy797]

Is it me or is it cheaper to get 12 pack of 16 oz for $4.50 compared to 8 pack of 50 oz for $20 ? 

 

Did I overlook something?  I want to save the environment and order the 8 pack.  But it is more expensive right?

John Heald posted today that Carnival is doing away with plastic water bottles and is going to cans. Not sure what size the cans will be.

Ugh - hate canned water.  I use crystal light flavor packets - not sure how that would work with cans.  Also, the cans probably aren't resealable.  This means I will probably pack my own water bottles and use them - I don't mind ship water at all.

If Carnival eliminates the option to buy bottled water and will not allow us to bring our own we will probably not cruise with Carnival again , simply cannot drink the ship's water due to being allergic to chlorine.

Unfortunately, all lines are moving away from single use plastics. To my knowledge, only Carnival and NCL have a full outright ban on bottles, with NCL not allowing anything.

I didn't read all of John Heald's posts but what I saw lead me to believe that cans were an option, but it was not yet settled.  Hope they are cartons by the time we cruise in February.  If not, I may just cancel my 3 12 packs of bottled water that I ordered. 😞

If Carnival does away with bottled water, what happens to the Gold perk of a free liter of water?

 

Canned?

  so canned or cartoned water are not acceptable, only plastic?

[garyw2165]

Cartons may be OK , but how do you carry a carton in your knapsack carry ashore , cans always taste like metal and I'm just guessing but I don't believe that the price of either of those options would be reasonable compared to the cost of bottles.

In regards to can water when we were in the Celebrity Edge, they had disposable water bottles that were just like the aluminum beer bottles with a screw top, so maybe this is what they are aiming for.

My guess it would only by single use bottles and the large bottles would stay.  Let’s not abandon ship until they actually make something happen.

According to his post this morning, John doesn't know what will happen to the plastic bottles and he doesn't want to guess.

I recently carried off in all 5 ports (Fascination) Carnival bottled water.  I think in 3-4 ports I carried back on unopened bottles that were unused.  Never was questioned nor plastic bottles confiscated.  Not much loss if they had confiscated.  

 

I even took off/brought back on my Yeti/Tervis style mug still containing liquids; I offered to empty it out & they said it was ok.  Maybe an exception but I think Carnival’s staff/security is more chill than most folks here give them credit for.

On the Breeze?  If so, you will not be disappointed.

Ummmm I must have missed something, you are not cruising because water costs $4.95?

Seems legit.
