girlzillla Posted November 25, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2015 We just got back from a Royal Caribbean cruise with a stop in St Kitts. While having breakfast in the main dining room, one of the crew stopped a the table and gave us a warning about that previous passengers had gotten sick after buying water from vendors while in port. She explained that some times the bottle was opened and refilled with contaminated water and sometimes they inject something into the bottle that makes the person ill after drinking it. We were not sure if she was just trying to sell extra water from the ship or if these accounts were true, so we all bought the water on the ship. has anyone else hear of this? thoughts?

paul58 Posted November 25, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It seems like a crazy and sick rumor. We have been going to and staying on St Kitts for years (since 1989) and have never had issues with the water. The local tap water is safe as well is the locally bottled water.

MommaBear55 Posted November 25, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It is very hard to picture this happening on an island that depends on tourist money for its survival. I am not saying it cannot happen as any one person can do despicable things, just that it is not going be widespread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toes_in_sand Posted November 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'm down in St Kitts on vacation right now, and I can tell you that the crew person was most likely trying to pull a fast one on you to increase their sales. The tap water is safe and drinkable just like in North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lard Greystoke Posted November 26, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Don't know about this, but I was on a Royal cruise some years back where someone who rubbed people with lava stones claimed that she could cure cancer that way. Sure convinced me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
