cruzinblondie Posted August 10, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2009 The last time we were on Ecstasy the drinking water tasted bad. Anyone that has cruised lately, is the drinking water good from the buffet lines? Or should I bring some bottled water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One cruise may be completely different than another one. You never know. Be safe. Bring the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder315 Posted August 10, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I take a couple of bottles person per day, and then buy a more at each port, to replace the ones we have consumed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 10, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2009 We cruised Ecstasy in fall 2006 and had things floating in the drinking water that really upset a couple of my table mates. It mostly looked wierd and smelled bad, but I drank it. Last time the water was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you bring that much water on board? What about just bringing a case of water and sticking a luggage tag on it and checking it with checked luggage :o. Has anyone done that?

Scott_F Posted August 10, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I was on the E two months ago and it was very heavy chlorine taste. I drank a lot of iced tea with my meals. bottle water is a good call. The water isn't undrinkable, but it's not very good. One of those Britta water pitcher filter things might come in handy if you have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallas52 Posted August 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2009 does anyone really know where bottled water comes from, ive seen it bottled just out of tap water and people swear it taste so good, just catch it in a plastic bottle and it is good.

What do you think the ice tea was made with :p What about just bringing a case of water and sticking a luggage tag on it and checking it with checked luggage :o. Has anyone done that? It has been reported by many cruisers that they will NO longer take a case of water or soda with a luggage tag on it. It must now be in some sort of bag. I always take a collapsible tote bag that I put our water & soda in and if we don't need it on the way home it gets folded or rolled up and put in one of our other bags. I have never had a problem checking it with my other luggage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnd03 Posted August 11, 2009 #11 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Just got off the Ecstacy last week (8 aug 09). The water did have a chlorine taste. I opted for the tea, which was very dark but tasted OK. I also drank Jack Daniel's:D and water which seemed ok. The only time I drank the water was to take my thyroid med every night.

texas greeneyes Posted August 11, 2009 #12 Share Posted August 11, 2009 When I was last on the ship in April 2008, the tap water had a faint but unpleasant taste and odor. Strangely enough, though, water that came from ice melting in the ice bucket was just fine. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamletx Posted August 11, 2009 #13 Share Posted August 11, 2009 We just got in on Saturday as well - I drank water every night in the dining room and didn't notice anything odd - in fact it was refreshing. On the Lido I drank ice tea w/a splash of lemonade in it ... That was pretty good too!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not meant to. That "blink" is a "wink" and it was meant in a jovial, goodnatured manner. The internet is notoriously devoid of tone and intent is often misgauged.
