Pre-Purchase Case of Water

[GeriatricNurse]

May a case of bottled water be pre-purchased and placed in your stateroom prior to boarding?

[Gail & Marty sailing away]

It is a good idea.

If interested, distilled water is $2.95/gallon.

The tap water is fine. That being said, there have been recent statements about reducing the use of plastic, and perhaps using reusable metal water bottles.

I've never had distilled water.  Does it taste as good as Acqua Panna?

Probably not but I have been told that is perfect for Scotch Whiskey as it does not alter the purity of the Scotch. 

 

Distilled water is used for CPAP machines but part of the HAL Water Package.

You can still bring water aboard - but qty is limited to about 6 liters (Check your contract), and cannot be in the dreaded plastic. 

I am going to try something new for my forthcoming Alaskan cruise...have a case of water (in boxes) shipped via the fine Amazon Prime folks to my pre-cruise hotel (Called Hotel and they will accept) and (Possibly) a case of root Beer (in cans) - If for no other reason to see how it all works, and see if the packaged water is...acceptable...to DW.

If not - can always order the HAL Bottled water they have aluminum small cans, or 1 liter glass bottles.

Note:Need to hand carry the water/coke/wine through security. On previous cruise I have emptied out one roller bag (Into our emergency extra nylon bag we carry - usually for foreign purchased) and put the hand carry liquids into a roller bag. I also always carry a big plastic contractor bag I double wrap - just in case there is a leakage of some of the liquids (DAMHIK). 

I am a (now retired) engineer - so I am real big on Just-In-Case.

Reminds me of a story from a colleague after he flew on South West Airlines. The Captain introduced the names of flight and cabin crew. How impressive that he said something like " ...and our co-pilot is Justin Case."

Not even close!  Everything is stripped out of it.  You "can" drink it, but why would you?  I'm really picky about water but I'd drink tap water on the ship before I'd drink distilled ... but that's just me.

We've been drinking the tap water for years.  And as you say, filling reusable bottles with it, or for a long day, CamelBak backpack or other comparable backpack that has a water bladder inside.  Still here to tell the tale.  🤷‍♀️
