Water in Dining Room?

[joyyak]

Do they serve water at the table in the dining rooms? That's all I drink and I'm wondering if I have to buy bottled water every meal or they have water in glasses at no charge?

Princess does. They have very good tap water in the rooms and served in the dining room.

Thank you! Glad to hear that!! Will take a Nalgene to fill and carry the rest of the time!

The potable (drinking) water onboard is distilled and very good to drink. We also take a couple of 1L insulated water bottles when we cruse. That way you do not have to buy bottled water to take off the ship.

All cruise lines have water available at no charge, not just in the dining rooms, but also at drink stations near the buffets. The ships desalinate ocean water, which is purified and usually quite tasty; however, on one ship (out of my last 10 cruises), the water did have a rather funky aftertaste. Bottled water is also available, at an extra charge. Some folks bring aboard their own bottled water-- I've read on these boards of passengers bringing a full case with them when they board.

We bring our own bottled water on board to take on shore excursions but drink the water in the dining room and never had any problems with the taste. I don't drink soda at all.

While I drink bottled water for obvious reasons, I've never had a problem with the water in the dining rooms on the various ships we have been on. :cool:

We take 12 1.5 litre bottles of spring water in a suitcase when we go onboard. It is better thank buying water, especially when you go off of the ship. The empty suitcase we have after the water is gone doubles as a souviner carrier.

I recommend bringing a couple water bottles for each person, which can be refilled at the drink station. These will be very useful for shore excursions -- water runs $2 per bottle!

In the dining room, you should receive water for free without asking.

Each cruiseline provides different beverages.

If you have a specific ship in mind, you should ask on their specific board here for correct info.
