rcprncss Posted April 2, 2011 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2011 This has never been a problem before but I have heard it may be a problem now. Has anyone recently been on the Constellation and brought a case of bottle water with no problems? Or problems? I want to be prepared. Thank you! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamoni Posted April 2, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I was on the 3/12 sailing and we took two cases of water. No problem at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellybutton530 Posted April 2, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Not just water, soda too. Just slap one of your extra luggage tags on the case and leave it with the porters. PS: Don't forget to tip them for these "bags." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thmpsn Posted April 2, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 2, 2011 After you go through final security and before you go up to board the ship there are a few shops. You can buy wine and water and take on the ship. No further checks. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted April 2, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 2, 2011 No so in Ft. Lauderdale, or Miami, or many other ports. In fact, the only port I can think of off hand that has a shop like this is in San Juan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellybutton530 Posted April 2, 2011 #7 Share Posted April 2, 2011 WalMart has a box containing 3 gallon jugs. The cost for each gallon? $0.62, plus tax. On a 14-day cruise I bring 3 boxes. Total cost: a little over $6.00. Now that is a bargain.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbels Posted April 2, 2011 #8 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Why bring bottled water at all? The water from the taps on the ship is the same water that they use to make ice. It is safe to drink and tastes just fine to this Brooklyn girl who is used to drinking our fine NYC water(not kidding- it's the best) Just bring along some BPA free water bottles for taking water off the ship and you are good to go. Do you know how pure that cheap Walmart water is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how pure that cheap Walmart water is? Better than the ship's water with the residual sodium in it. The spring water has 0% sodium. For me at least. Hey, I'm not twisting anybody's arm to do something that works for me. If you like ship's water, drink ship's water. If you don't, there ARE alternatives.
