Plastic or metal or waxed cardboard carton ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted May 31 #2 Share Posted May 31 On silhouette earlier this month there were plastic bottles and glass bottles. No metal and no cartons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted May 31 #3 Share Posted May 31 (edited) Our most recent experience was also with plastic. Have seen aluminum cans by Dasani a few years ago (RCCL for sure), but I think that has been discontinued. Never seen waxed carboard.

jalves Posted May 31 #4 Share Posted May 31 I believe it is highly dependent on which ship and where it is sailing from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplsmurf Posted May 31 #7 Share Posted May 31 I haven’t seen aluminum in quite awhile. On our last few cruises it was plastic for the classic package and glass (Evian and Aqua Panna) for premium 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also intended for Celebrity, although I think if we saw it on Celebrity it would have only been on one cruise, likely Equinox. I believe the program was discontinued a couple of years later as I have not seen it on any RCCL / Celebrity ships in recent cruises. Not sure the full reasoning but believe it was in part cost related and replaced by Evian returning to plastic.

Since then it has plastic. Evian isn’t in plastic anymore either, only glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think between the onset of the pandemic shutdown and 2022, as mentioned we saw them on two ships - one each on RCCL and Celebrity.

Plastic and glass are prohibited for safety/environmental reasons. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Celebrity go the same way someday. We use our own insulated, refillable water bottles. Lots of places/ways to refill them onboard, and the liquids stay cooler on excursions. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted June 1 #17 Share Posted June 1 (edited) Several years ago (2018) I saw the waxed cardboard used on Celebrity in Alaska. Never saw it again Edited June 1 by cruisestitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting. My guess would be that, while admirable with environmental motives, the cost of the packaging with waxed cardboard v aluminum v plastic would make a product such as water not viable in containers other than plastic. It may also be difficult to get the alternative containers on a network wide supply chain limiting availability to certain local areas only?

Not being a crybaby, but we had the aluminum screw cap bottles once on the Equinox, and believe me , the edge of the screw caps were razor thin and you could very well cut yourself badly if not careful when opening the bottle or handling the cap.

Rare Tyler414 Posted June 1 #21 Share Posted June 1 On a recent Beyond cruise it was plastic for basic and glass for premium. They used to have aluminum bottles, but was told people were cutting themselves on them, so they stopped using them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bEwAbG Posted June 1 #22 Share Posted June 1 Waxed cardboard cannot be recycled so that's just a bit of green-washing. I think cruise ships should do glass bottles and clean/sterilize for reuse, personally. Or just stop providing the single use plastic bottles altogether. I mainly drink canned sparkling water and it's in a standard soda can that is hard to cut yourself on. Why they chose the cans they chose is a mystery because they were dangerous.

lwid77 Posted June 1 #23 Share Posted June 1 Just got off the Constellation on May 24th, embark/debark in Italy. We had aluminum, screw top cans of water and when those ran out they had plastic- very thin plastic bottles. Sparkling San Pellegrino was in plastic bottles.

It's a plastic in the ocean issue. Waxed cardboard supposedly degrades fairly easily, without leaving harmful waste. Plastic doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they got rid of single-use water bottles, regardless of material, there would be a big backlash from those who claim it's not a luxury experience. It should be noted, from time to time, there are reports water comes out other than crystal clear, here's one example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
