On Regatta this past January,requested from our room steward 4 or 5 bottles of the 16oz. water a day.We kept them cold in the fridge because the water at the gangplank is not on ice like it used to be.

Good to know

I will pick up a couple of extras on returning to the ship

As an old English teacher, I appreciated the lighthearted comment and did not feel it needed correction.

I agree; I thought it was funny. Corny but funny.

What is the difference in the water in the blue bottle in the cabin & the ones you get when exiting the ship??

 

Not sure I noticed mineral water

I do not care for Evian so never used those bottles in the cabin & there was also a charge in the early years

 

Except for the large blue bottles in the cabin, isnt mineral, just the same stuff as the little bottle at the gang way... I didn't think the Blue bottles were Evian....

Actualy I always bring a canteen and fill it from the bathroom sink... and it is just fine....
