penang Posted May 4, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I am going to Alaska with Island Princess. I drink only water and tea. I wondered if the water they serve in the dining room is filtered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwinfl91 Posted May 5, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 5, 2004 All the water used on the ship is actually produced on the ship via a desalination process that takes in salt water and created what amounts to distilled water. It is similar to the process that some bottled water companies use to create their product. While occasionally ships will have a problem and the water will taste a little salty usually it tastes fine and is perfectly safe to drink. Here's a web site with information on the type of systems cruise ships use. http://www.ship-technology.com/contractors/desalination/ Does that help? Have a great next cruise.

Florida Beach Posted May 5, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 5, 2004 There was adiscussion on this topic a while back, but I can't find it for you. In a nutshell, the water is filtered and cleaner (?) than bottle water, but I brought 2 cases of bottle water for the familiar taste. Have a nice trip March 28, 2004 - Mariner of the Seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
