jujucrew Posted July 15, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2010 hi all, please forgive me if this is a stupid question but i must ask this, is this correct that you should bring water bottles with you? can you buy this on board? as you probably have gathered this is our first cruise very excited already,but have questions too. we are going on the independence of seas next year thanks for any advice here;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted July 15, 2010 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2010 It's a good idea to bring water bottles with you so you will have them for your visits to ports. No question is stupid and the only poor question is the one someone did not ask. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurscorner Posted July 15, 2010 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Hello. No you don't "have" to bring water with you. Bottled water is available for purchase aboard ship, it's a little expensive though (3 or 4 dollars) We bring two or three bottles with us and refill them aboard. The tap water on todays ships is very good. Hoped this helped, Have fun!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted July 15, 2010 #4 Share Posted July 15, 2010 The only water bottle you need is a wide mouth sports bottle, so that you can fill it with icewater prior to going ashore in port. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted July 15, 2010 #5 Share Posted July 15, 2010 You can buy bottled water on board, however, the ship's tap water is purer than most bottled water. We bring a couple of empty bottles and fill them from the tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewgill12 Posted July 15, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yeah, you can take them, cruises are all for enjoyment. you can take any thing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 15, 2010 #7 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I just ask for a glass of ice water, if I'm thirsty ON the ship. You may want a bottle to take ashore, if you are a "water-carrying" person. I don't generally walk around with water. The ship's water is fine to drink. Your food, drink and ice is made from it!

kgd123 Posted July 21, 2010 #8 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Why pack anything extra? We usually buy just one or two bottles on the ship, then refill. Its worth the couple of dolllars not to have to pack sports bottles! oh, and Youll love the Independence!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjmarante Posted July 21, 2010 #9 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I know that Royal Caribbean has a beverage package that can be purchased for having water bottles delivered to your stateroom. If you want to save a little money, than maybe bring them, but I don't see why you should have to carry around the extra weight in your suitcase. Oh, and also, no question is a stupid question, especially if it comes from a first cruiser. Have a wonderful time on the Independence of the Seas, a great ship and you will bring home great memories from your first cruise!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted July 21, 2010 #10 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yeah, you can take them, cruises are all for enjoyment. you can take any thing..... I can think of many things you cannot bring. Water bottles are not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
