Celebrity is trying to lessen their environmental impact, do they still allow plastic bottles in Florida? Didn’t have any available In Hawaii (no plastic bags either) or in Greece. Lucky I don’t like the taste of water from a plastic bottle. Last thing I’d be “concerned “ about hauling on a ship is a case of water. At a campground sure, on a cruise, come on. Reminds me of a great Dolly Parton song, “Nickels and Dimes”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miched Posted September 8, 2021 #29 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Beer and soft drinks have been in aluminum cans for years. There isn’t any aluminum taste as the cans are coated. The same with canned water in aluminum cans as they are coated. It is just your perception that it is in a aluminum can so you can taste it. What does aluminum taste like? I think the issue is you are tasting water that doesn’t taste like what you normally drink Take a can home and have it analyzed. I am sure there is no aluminum in it Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Edited September 8, 2021 by miched 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted September 8, 2021 #31 Share Posted September 8, 2021 For those with less "discerning" palates, DS and I used the aluminum bottles of water throughout our Millennium cruise and never experienced any issue with the taste of the water. It tasted like....water. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there is no aluminum in it Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 The Swiss company SIGG started making refillable aluminum water bottles back in 1908, many decades before before single use plastic water bottles became ubiquitous. I still have one with my camping gear that dates back to the early 60s, and I've used dozens of aluminum bottles since for camping, hiking, cycling, the gym and just about every other activity where one might want to bring along drinking water. And, yes, DW and I each bring one on our cruises for use both on and off the ship. In all my years of drinking from them, I've never found that they have had any impact on the taste of the water. In my experience, it's the water source and not the bottle that influences the taste. I've also used stainless steel bottles with the same results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandhop9 Posted September 8, 2021 #33 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Be glad they don't use the "Just" water milk cartons NCL uses. That stuff tasted like cardboard, ship water was better. For cans I think it can make a difference if poured into a glass versus drinking straight the can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not Spring water but something processed..there was once an article posted about it. We have alum water btls that clip on to our bikes..they are lined in glass( maybe like a thermos)...but water tastes fine from those. As does canned water given at some hotels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really bad tasting. Even our portable brita filter system could not make it taste any better. For us, it is not to save money, but having something we can drink during the cruise..we drink alot of. water. Buy what we can onboard but no thanks on the gray btls!

Not saying it was an aluminum taste, but definitely not what we liked. Maybe your palette and ours are different. We wit purchase the Evian and transfer it into plastic bottles or Tevi cups we bring onboard. Edited September 9, 2021 by RICCruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fstuff1 Posted September 9, 2021 Author #44 Share Posted September 9, 2021 one bad thing about the new water cans is that it's tough to tighten the cap. it's hard to line the cap to screw back on. i've tried on several different cans this cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
