John117 Posted October 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2019 With the purge to reduce the use of plastic I wondered if Regent were still issuing bottles of water to take ashore? We join Mariner in Lima on 16th November 2019 and if necessary we will take our own reusable bottles for the trip and fill on board. The reason for my question is that when we sailed on Seabourn Encore round the Mediterranean in September they had switched to reusable bottles which were filled on board and not ideal to take ashore (the water also tasted peculiar). The bottles were also heavy and difficult to drink from so not ideal to take on excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandra cruiser Posted October 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Yes, gave us plastic bottled water to take ashore,,,we were also in S. America.But glad you told me about Seaborn,since I ll bring an empty plastic bottle to fill and take ashore . A little tip for that county,,take lots of TP and hand san,since many toilets we went to lacked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted October 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Not only are they available to take ashore; ask your room steward and you can get some for your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMARINER Posted October 25, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 25, 2019 IMO, They will have plastic bottled water for ShoreEx for the foreseeable future. Even after they introduce the Vero system, it will be along time before (years) they get 100% passenger acceptance. J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flossie009 Posted October 25, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 25, 2019 We now bring our own re-usable bottles for use in the suite and on excursions; filled from the Vero glass bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC in CA Posted October 28, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2019 John117, We were on the Panama Canal cruise 9/30-10/15/19 on the Mariner. There were plenty of disposable bottles of water ready for folks to take as they left the ship on excursions. Jerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
