CCJack Posted July 17, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Would there be a place for us to refill water bottles? I would rather buy wide mouth reusable bottles before we leave than buy their bottled water..thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef_christoph Posted July 17, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I have taken a reusable bottle on almost every cruse I've been on. I usually grab a couple glasses of ice water and pour them into my bottle while outside around the pool deck. That way a little bit of water that may spill while pouring from the cup to the bottle isn't going to have to be cleaned up as it would if you try to do this indoors (for example, in the windjammer).

debshomespun Posted July 17, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 17, 2012 We get 2 cups of ice and 1cup of water from the buffet and take to out table and fill our bottle there. There are some people that fill their drink bottles directly from the machine even when there is a sign that says do not fill drink bottles.

MS52 Posted July 17, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 17, 2012 They have drinking fountains all over the ship.. Please don't fill your water bottle from a drinking fountain. Fill a glass and then use it to fill your water bottle. Filling water bottles directly can be a contributing factor to the spread of norovirus.

It is not alowed to refill on on any public 'fountain' and trust me-I hope the day comes that you never have to experience the Noro virus but if you do-you would never refill the bottle from a public source again!!!:eek:;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johneeo Posted July 17, 2012 #9 Share Posted July 17, 2012 They have drinking fountains all over the ship.. Having been on a number of cruises, I cannot remember ever seeing a drinking fountain on a ship. Just curious, does the Oasis have drinking fountains ..... anyone know, as that was my last cruise, and do not remember ever seeing a water fountain?

nancronin Posted July 17, 2012 #10 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I always have the room steward keep my ice bucket filled and as it melts I fill my water bottle. :) I've never seen a water fountain either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call the ice bucket our watermaker. I think there is a water fountain in the Gym an some ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 17, 2012 #12 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Just use your bathroom sink. If you have a wide-mouth bottle, throw some ice in there, too, or put it in your fridge. The tap water on ships, while perfectly fine to drink, will never "run cold" from the tap! You will need to chill it somehow....ice works fine!

Booking It Posted July 17, 2012 #13 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I call the ice bucket our watermaker. I think there is a water fountain in the Gym an some ships. I do recall seeing a water fountain in the gym on the Allure. As far as around the ship... I cannot recall because we would just grab a glass of ice water from a venue (such as Windjammer or Park Café). Do NOT refill your water bottle from a drinking fountain on the ship if you do find one. Maybe it's because I'm a teacher and see how students use drinking fountains (it's not pretty), but some people like to literally put their lips around the spout. I'm totally not a germaphobe, but this is the one thing that I stay away from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted July 17, 2012 #14 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I have always used our sink in our cabin to fill our bottles. I like to bring a couple with us on tours, yet I drink more then my DH. I have no more then a couple total and just refill them but never in the public rooms.

DonnaK Posted July 17, 2012 #16 Share Posted July 17, 2012 There is ice water in the Cafe Promenade, as well as all other food venues. As others have mentioned, fill a drinking glass with the water, and then pour it into your refillable cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLCruiseGal Posted July 18, 2012 #17 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I agree with the others that are asking you to please fill a glass and fill your bottle from the glass. Folks could potentially be putting the lip of the bottle against the water spigot. Take a long, hard look at those folks that are doing it and think to yourself, "Hmmm, I wonder where his/her mouth has been. . ." After about the third person you see doing this on the ship, I guarantee that you will NOT drink from any public water dispenser on the ship.
