Cpap

So if no water is allowed now, how do I bring distilled water onboard? Have a smaller bottle of sealed distilled water I found. Leaving from Canaveral on Magic on Saturday. :)

Lucky you found a small bottle! We were going to take on a gallon, but just used regular bottled water instead. It worked fine.

You can order distilled water from room service for $3.

Ah, didn't know that. Thanks. Zzzzzzzz

I think you are supposed to call a week or more in advance, but you can go ahead and call Carnival Special Needs department and request distilled water and an extension cord. https://www.carnival.com/about-carnival/special-needs.aspx

 

"If you need general information about accessibility before you cruise, please call our Guest Access team at 1-800-438-6744 ext. 70025 or email specialneeds@carnival.com"

 

We have done this several times and the supplies were waiting in our cabin when we arrived.

My wife has used a Cpap machine during the last several cruises using the water on the ship with no ill effects. Note that the ship produces it's own water while at sea and it is a distilling process so that water is distilled. They may purchase water while in port which may not be distilled and that water might be mixed with the distilled processed water. Again, there should be no problems using the ship's water for a week or two. When we return home, my wife reverts back to the distilled water for the Cpap machine.

Asked my cabin steward to get a gallon of distilled water for me for $3. No problems getting it.

I've used ships water in my machine on many cruises. No problems at all, everything was fine, no need to buy the distilled water on board.

What everyone says is true; however, if you insist on carrying on distilled water (rather than the options above), you can. I, personally, don't see it worth the trouble to save $2.

 

From Carnival's website:

Distilled Water

Guests may bring on board distilled water for use with a CPAP machine or nursery water for families with babies and packed in carry-on luggage.Distilled water may also be purchased onboard at $3.00 USD per gallon by contacting Room Service. The CPAP machine must be packed in carry-on luggage.

DH is planning to call Special needs and order some. So much easier than carrying it on.

If I even bring my humidifier portion of the CPAP, I use ship's water from the faucet to fill it. It doesn't hurt anything for 1 week.
