mouseterd1 Posted March 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'm trying to decide whether or not to bring my own stainless insulated water bottle. I can't recall what the do's/don'ts (or ease of) about filling water into it from the Lido are....or is there another option to fill on board. I'm not really all that happy about drinking commercially filled bottled water either (and I know there is always the bring it aboard option) or pay for it if purchased on board. Thank you for your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your comments. You can fill your water bottle on board. Just make sure that the mouth is wide enough that you can safely pour the water into it at a bit of a distance from the spout. For hygenic reasons, they request that your water bottle not touch the spout for the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted March 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2017 You need to use a clean ship's glass to dispense the water into, and then fill your bottle from the glass, preferrably without touching the glass to the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted March 14, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The Eurodam had pitchers and an honest to goodness bottle filling station in December. I never noticed the bottle fill before - but I've been known to miss a thing or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandiego1 Posted March 14, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I used a clean glass to put ice and water in my bottle. There are signs posted on the water machine "Do not fill water bottles" or something like that for sanitary reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My two favorite travel bottles are not wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare POA1 Posted March 14, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 14, 2017 POA1 - was this in the Lido area? Did you notice if it only worked on wide-mouth bottles? My two favorite travel bottles are not wide. Yes, it was. It was a fairly high spout and kind of reminded me of an inverse water fountain. You probably couldn't refill a bottle with a narrow neck like a soda bottle, but most water bottles would probably be fine. If you are worried, buy an inexpensive plastic funnel and take it with you. I apologize for not taking a photo. We had the Elite Beverage Package, so water bottles did not come into play for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1of4 Posted March 14, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 14, 2017 There was a bottle filling station on the Westerdam in April 2015.many times a lido steward would fill our water bottles for us as would our room steward (he offered but we didn't want to add to his morning work load) but he brought us ice. In really hot and humid ports we filled one bottle with lemonade which was effective quenching our thirst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overhead Fred Posted March 14, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The tap water from our cabin worked fine for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisyloo Posted March 14, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 14, 2017 We usually take a couple of water bottles each and fill them with water from our cabin sink and then store them in the fridge in our cabin. They are there nice and cold and ready to go whenever we need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize for not taking a photo. We had the Elite Beverage Package, so water bottles did not come into play for us. My bottles have a 1.5in. diameter, so bigger than a soda bottle. I don't drink soda and I'll save my alcoholic consumption to a glass of wine at dinner and maybe a good vodka straight up as a pre or post dinner drink. I drink water the rest of the time at home, so I'll drink water on vacation,too. I already have a plastic funnel in my travel pantry, so I'll bring it with me.

chengkp75 Posted March 15, 2017 #14 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I suspect it is the same water as that in the Lido. The only difference is that the water dispenser in the lido, as well as all water dispensers in the MDR and other restaurants, the ice machines, and the bar guns, have a carbon filter on them to remove the chlorine, your cabin sink does not. The chlorine removal is for maintenance reasons, not taste management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
