Just curious as to why the need to bring your own water on board?

I like some very specific bottled water and I often find other water tastes funny and then I don't hydrate enough. If the on board water meets my fussy standard I'll just refill one, but I won't know that until I'm already there...

I did have a look around before starting another thread, but I couldn't find a clear answer: taking bottled water on board, how much are we allowed?

Some places say 12 soft drink items, some say 1 bottle each. What I'd like to do is take a six pack each of our normal 750ml bottles we usually have in the back of the car, but I don't want to have them embarrassingly confiscated :-).

@Kastaka Did your question get answered before this thread went off the rails? You’re fine. Probably a jumper instead of a hoodie for warmth. None of the posters on this thread will be on your cruise. The fjords are amazing!

Yes, the quotes from the FAQ were useful :).

Kataska, if you are going on a Caribbean (or other warm weather cruise), you might want to buy an inexpensive sundress or 2. They are my go to and so easy to throw on with a pair of sandals. Also take up very little room in suitcase.

It's a Fjords cruise - I do own some dresses, just nothing suitable for colder weather :). 

Oops, it looks like this is more contentious than I was expecting! I'm female, by the way. I have some corporate polo shirts from a few companies ago, it sounds like they'll be okay?

I'm a bit worried about the smart casual requirements for dinner - as a tech worker my entire wardrobe is tshirts, hoodies and cords :). Do I need to go buy some nice tops or am I going to be okay? 

I have successfully cancelled this cruise - the people on the phone were very nice and clearly they're having to do a lot of this, there was no hassle (our deposit went to FCC but it was only a tiny deposit so we're not fussed).

My deposit is quite small so I am not worried about that, but someone in another thread said that they were hit for a 25 percent of total cost cancellation fee and that would not be small... 

I suspect absent some kind of miracle cure I wouldn't go anyway, as my lungs aren't the best and I shouldn't be taking risks; I'm just worried to cancel because other people have reported money being taken from them on cancellation.

Cruise is Northern Europe so some of the ports may well have reopened by then, but possibly not to UK people given we're somewhat behind...

Before all this started I booked a cruise for August. Final payment is due on May 31st. Obviously I'm not very keen on the idea of NCL having more of my money right now, especially given the worrying financial report. What are my options?
