Bottled Water Yes or No??

[leesee4life55]

I’ve been told I could bring a 12-pack of canned or boxed water. Does anyone know if Carnival is allowing the bottled 12-packs?

Nothing in bottles except on bottle of wine per adult can be in your carry on. Cans and cartons only for non-alcohol items.

Carnival charges about 10.00 for a 12 pack of water delivered to your room which in my opinion is worth it because it saves the hassel of having to lug canned drinks.

I recommend preordering bottled water to be delivered to your stateroom. You can  order small bottles or large bottles, not expensive at all, and not be hauling it onboard yourself.

As mentioned above, cans only or the bottle of wine per person. Buy the 12 pack of bottled water (16.9 oz) from the Fun Shops to be delivered to the cabin. You might consider packs of electrolytes to add to the water as well as you sweat out salts and water.

Another vote for buying a 12 pack from Fun Shops before sailing. We are fine with drinking the water onboard but like to have the bottles available to take ashore.

If you a past Carnival cruiser, you also get a free 1L bottle of water.

Yes but that is gone in no time and the bottle is too big for taking ashore, IMO. But thanks for reminding me to be sure to pick up my bottle.

We always have a 12 pack, or two, of water delivered to room. 

 

I bring powdered gatorade packets.

We had a case delivered to the room for an 8 day it was nice to have. We do it every cruise.

I would just need to take a different tote bag - the one I like the best has a mesh pocket on outside that my water bottle fits in perfectly; I don’t think the liter bottle will fit, but I'll give it a try before I buy a new tote bag.

Carnival sell a sling for the water bottles on the ship.

Liquid Death is a new popular brand of canned water.

We ordered about 8 of the large bottles for the cabin, then each bought one small bottle of water from a bar after we were on board. We just poured water from the large, in-room bottle to the small bottles to carry ashore.

Pack and bring an insulated water bottle on ship with you.   Fill with ice and water from bottle to take off the ship at ports.

Thanks for all your help. My vacation planner suggested packing a Yeti and filling it with iced water on the Lido deck; he also said I could request help from our cabin steward. He reminded me the water they provide is spring water and not purified, but the water on Lido deck is purified.

Cabin Steward will gladly keep you supplied w/ice - we let some melt so we always had ice cold drinking water.

You can, of course, have the bottles delivered to your cabin.

Water on the ship is fine

I find because of the high salt content, can cause retained water( (kankles)

It’s probably safe but …?

I really hate this persistent myth.  The water produced onboard has a lower salt content than most municipal water supplies in the US.  Even a southern city like Miami, that does not get road salt into the ground water, last year tested at 24-41ppm sodium, while ships produce water at 1ppm (evaporators) or 20ppm (RO units).

True that. I would be willing to bet most Carnival food, however, is chock full of sodium.

The bottled water is purified spring water.

It’s not the water, it’s the food.

So sorry that you HATED my references to the desalinated water.

i was relating to my personal experience.

on my many subsequent cruises I have not had similar results after using bottled water.

i will concede that it is possible that on that particular cruise the process may not have been up to snuff.
i will try not to hate a opinion that differs from mine
