It will be delivered to your cabin - much better than lugging water bottles around. I just bought 12 bottles / cans for $11.99. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS IS PER STATEROOM, not per person. You must carry it on, it can't be in checked bags.

Many bottled waters of this size list the 500 ml more promentity than the ounces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero ability for the port rent-a-cops to figure out who is traveling together (re: this is per stateroom). On the other hand, I would never carry around a dozen bottles of water in my handcarry until the rooms are available. I just buy it on the ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though have seen Cruisers stopped walking together trying to Carry 12each instead of per Cabin. This in April out of Miami and 2.5yrs ago out of Boston trying it with 2each Bottles of Wine, this where they even counted my 12 Pop Bottles Edited July 10, 2022 by ONECRUISER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra36 Posted July 10, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Water bottle vs bottles of water. Guessing from the OP's wording I am not aware of any restriction on the type or size of a water bottle allowed on board. As for bottles of water this seems to have been thoroughly covered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmarya Posted July 10, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Thanks, I was actually concerned about a refillable bottle. I have sometimes used a plastic 20 oz. coke bottle for bringing water ashore--if I lose it no big deal, I can recycle before heading home. Holland America won't allow any plastic bottles of this kind onboard. If not permitted, I will bring a more traditional water bottle. Thanks!

neverbeenhere Posted July 10, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 10, 2022 As long as it’s empty upon boarding, size doesn’t matter. So, I’ve heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
long4acruise Posted July 10, 2022 #10 Share Posted July 10, 2022 And as long as the personal water bottle is filled by dispensing the water into a clean glass to pour into the bottle! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted July 10, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 10, 2022 We take wide-mouth reusable bottles. Easier to fill from a glass, and can put ice in if we want it. I had mine in my carryon, and port security asked me to show that it was empty. Once she saw it, it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, along with tea, lemonade, coffee, hot tea, and a flavored sugar free drink along with some others. This isn’t bottled water, but ship water which is perfectly fine for drinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if anything was said to them as they got on the ship, but I kinda doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinking water is provided free all day in many venues. In addition to meals, you can get a glass of ice water free from any bar. Bear in mind that the water provided by the ship is produced by the same method as most bottled water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of the swelling / water retention issues are related to salt in the food and too much alcohol, rather than the water 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
