greatestvalue Posted September 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2022 What words do people not understand? On the Voyager of the Seas and it's amazing how many people can't read, or just have complete disregard. It has clear signage do not fill your water bottles. Im seeing people put the mouth of their water bottle on the spigot of the water spout. Nothing like spreading your germs. The staff is doing a good job of asking them not to, and showing them the proper way but really. Adults need to be told ... 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted September 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Totally agree. Fill them sure....but use a cup first and then fill their bottle from that. Ewww...like kissing strangers when they stick the used lip of their reusable bottle directly on the spigot....gross!! 🤢 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare moposh Posted September 2, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2022 This was a big pet peeve of mine on Enchantment. The signage is clear as day. I did not see any staff telling people not to do this. One time I was waiting a while to get some lemonade and then I saw the woman was filling her water bottle so I just put my cup down anyway. I asked Guest Services where I could fill up my water bottle. It must have been the first time anyone asked. Three employees were consulted. They finally told me I could go to the fitness center or fill a cup up and then transfer to my water bottle. The water fountain in the fitness center says not to fill up water bottles. I filled my water bottle up in the WJ by putting water in a cup and transferring. I saw a couple other people do this, but most did not. In my survey, I said that the ships need water bottle filling stations. At least one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thptrek Posted September 2, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Ships could change out their water fountains to the kind that has the bottle filler spigot. Almost all gyms and schools now have this type. Problem solved. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really a matter of whether any of us like it or don't like it. The cruise line has guidelines and rules, like the many other rules we need to abide by to cruise. This one is no different. I just don't understand people's complete disregard when there is a sign right in front of them. It's about --- Follow the guidelines & rules. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how hard it would be to put in a bottle refill station somewhere on the ship. Not gym. Would need to be more accessible to cruisers. A lot of people do not go to the gym. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALKID Posted September 2, 2022 #15 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Just buy the water. No need to risk getting sick from a malfunctioning water system they maintain as well as the air conditioning filters, which have been shown here to be completely clogged, and that’s what you see. Imagine what is hidden from passenger view? Better safe than sorry! Don’t ruin your cruise to save a few dollars regardless of what you read here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the ship, I settle for an hour. Am at the gym by 5:30 am to get my hour in and feel good for the rest of the day. Unlike a lot of people, I see no reason to gain weight just b/c I am on a cruise. I eat no different than at home. Because I work out, rarely do I come back from vacation gaining more than a pound. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are also in the gym every morning as both are competitive athletes. Wife CrossFit, me a pro athlete. We try to keep the same routine as home, but do enjoy ourselves as we meal plan year round and splurge on vacation. It always amazes us when we see some much food piled high on two plates being carried by someone in the Windjammer. Everything is good in moderation. Gotta love all of the variety of food on a cruise as I'm a huge foodie 🙂. We use to refill our bottles, but out of respect to others, just purchase the water package.

Ft. Lauderdale Native Posted September 3, 2022 #25 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I haven't cruised for over three years now. In times past we checked in a case of water along with our luggage. Besides drinking, I use it for a CPAP. Is this still allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
