bonvoyagie Posted August 21, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Since the ban on take on water and soda in July. Has anybody tried to bring empty water bottles or other refillable containers as part of their carry on? I have not found water an issue on the ships so I was thinking about taking the stainless water bottles I use for hiking and simply filling them on ship before getting off in port.

Rare BirdTravels Posted August 21, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Not an issue. There was a big pile of water bottles before the security check point from all the people who tried to bring filled water with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted August 21, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Yes Not an Issue if the bottles were EMPTY ! EMPTY water bottles canisters casks vessels containers etc. should easily pass muster - nothing times nothing is after all nothing unless you are dealing with NCL who would like to escalate the ole hidden water trick ! Now as for filling such water bottles at the Buffet filling station beware of the NCL water police enforcing the sanitary dispensing beverage act - - - *** NO CONTACT BETWEEN THE WATER BOTTLE AND THE BUFFET DISPENSER *** Use of a single serving water glass; pitcher or plastic cup to fill your personal bottle will be required - easier to fill it from your cabin sink faucet - ice it down and place in your mini-fridge the day/night before. Have you cabin steward provide you with an ice bucket. You can take as much water off the ship as you heart desires. Imagine the fiasco to have to smuggle water on board in this day and age ! Really NCL %$#@*& ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare firegal2539 Posted August 21, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I just got off of the Escape last Sunday and there were boxes of water bottles (with water), and coke cans, and wine and I saw a few empty aluminum bottles, so I don't know. I think it depends on how busy they are, if they have time to hassle you and how knowledgeable the crew is about the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where was this - at the initial security screening/scanners before getting to the check-in desks or some location getting onto ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare firegal2539 Posted August 21, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2016 This was the scanners getting both on and off the ship. It looked like the crew would be well hydrated for the cruise with all the stuff in the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetboy66 Posted August 22, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) We brought a Brita filter pitcher with us and filled it from the bathroom faucet. We kept it in the mini fridge in the room. Water tasted great. We used refillable containers to take it with us if needed.

sunnydaygirl Posted August 22, 2016 #12 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) My trusty glass is going with me. A fake Yetti, trust me when I say, this $10 knock off from Wal-Mart works just as well. We tested it. The green is for mixed drinks by the pool, ice doesn't melt. 20oz. The pink, 30 oz, is for ice water all day.

sunnydaygirl Posted September 20, 2016 #13 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I actually found a Yetti knock off handle on Amazon I like better for the 30 oz cup. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
