How To Get Distilled Water On Carnival?

[CChamp]

I have searched the forums and can't find the exact answer that I need. My wife and I are cruising on the Mardi Gras in Sept. We both use CPAP. Is there a way that I can order a gallon of Distilled Water before we go? Is there a website or anything? Thanks in advance.

I call room service when I get aboard, and it is delivered in practically no time at all.

I've used a CPAP on pretty much all our cruises. Ships water works just fine, no need to purchase their distilled water

Living La Vida Loca,

I've even drunk ship's water coming out of the bathroom taps

- and survived to tell the tale!

We called the special needs department in advance and paid a small fee. Maybe $5 for it. It was in our cabin when we arrived. 
But as others have said, you’re welcome to call room service when you get there and they’ll bring it too.

Carnival FAQ states exactly how to get or bring distilled water.

call room service when unpacking your bags, will be there in 15 min every time (YMMV), a gallon for 3 and change plus 18 grats (usually tip $2)

But as pyrate13 said, ship's water out of tap works very well. Even 2 people should not work through a whole gallon on a 8 day or shorter cruise.  My C-Pap holds around a pint and I usually have to dump some when debarking.

Exactly, why pay $5 for a gallon of water that costs $.88  at Walmart when you're going to dump most of it out at the end of the cruise. Tap water is just fine.

I just ordered a gallon of Distilled Water from the Fun Shops phone number:  800-522-7948  It costs a little over $3 per gallon.

I called room service when I got to the cabin. 5 mins later it arrived. $3.75

If I may give some off topic yet tangent advice, there may only be one plug in the cabin.  However, most CPAPs work happily on 220.  I bring a two prong European adapter, and plug my CPAP into the 220 socket.

Isn't the "tap" water on the ship just purified sea water, which correct me if im wrong, its distilled.

Seems to be that is the question of the day.  Be interested to hear if in fact it is.

My understanding is that when the ship is in port, it often (depending on the port) connects to the local water supply. This is cheaper than using the ship's desalination system. Also, water near the port may not be suitably clean enough for this process.

 

When the ship is using the desalination system, the result is distilled water. But, they add back in minerals and/or other electrolytes, mostly for taste.  You can taste the difference between distilled water and the ship's water.
