But: news flash! They also sell them in the Dollar Stores for $1. I've had really good luck with the full-size ones-- not so much the kids ones.

We always bring a case of water on a roller and check the bag, very easy and then use that luggage for laundry coming off. My family does not like the ship water especially in the room where its disgusting

Lugging distilled water would be useless, However if you are into mineral water or spring water for the taste I'd say bring it because the water on the ship is absolutely tasteless!

Tasteless because it's filtered. I have a Zero filter at home, my water tastes flat.

As for taking water off at ports, I've yet to be at a port where there has not been a vendor selling really ice cold water at $1. No lugging for me.

I think people forget how water from place to place differs and they've simply gotten used to their taste at their home or town.

I love my Brita water bottles! I travel a lot, and it's really nice having water that consistently tastes the "same".

 

Big enough mouth on the bottle to add ice, and the filter is easy enough to take out to add flavourings, if wanted.

I rarely drink water at home, we are on a well, and well, I have no idea what may be in it. The water on the ship taste fine and as others have said it is probably better than some of the bottled water. We do buy a water from the ship on the way out on excursions. The price isn't the best but it beats lugging a case of water on board.

Thanks to everyone for your feedback; I like the idea of a refillable Brita water bottle, which I will bring with us.

 

So glad to hear that Coke Zero is also available.

i drink tap water all the time and what do you know, after 25 years im still alive and well! :eek:

 

obviously its filtered... theyre not gonna give you salt water to drink.

 

theres free lemonade and iced tea on board too.

We are traveling in two weeks to Miami to get on the Breeze for 8 days. The last two times we cruised I HAULED water and soda on board. The soda is a given, we prefer Coke Zero and they usually don't have that.

 

My question to all is, do you drink the water on board or bring your own? I only drink filtered water at home. I have read that the water on the ship is filtered....can you tell?

 

Any help would be appreciated. I would rather not carry on water if I don't have to.

My son who only ever drinks Dasni water had no problem with drinking the water on the ship. He mostly went to the bar and asked for water and they gave him a big glass of water with ice.

I must be the exception (or maybe it's psychological) but I found the water on the Dream to have an after-taste ~ I just used lemon or added one of those Lipton Ice tea packs that our steward left us and problem solved.

I always fill my big 20oz. coffee mug with ice and water from the dispenser at the station with the lemonade etc. My mug is also great for getting enough coffee to last me in the morning before breakfast.

In all actuality it is probably the lack of taste that is throwing your brain off.

You are probably right about the brain being thrown off from no taste!
