OlsSalt Posted May 2, 2018 #26 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Here is what the Zaandam is offering for our upcoming cruise: 6 one-liter bottles 6 Bottle Evian Water Package Price$27.60 Or a 12 pack for $42. They also sell one gallon distilled water jugs, which I assume works with passenger's CPAP machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edi1140 Posted October 13, 2019 #27 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Posting late but I will anyway. I take a small sample sized bottle of dish detergent with me and a clean cloth, and give my ice buckets a cleaning before I use them. I'm sure HAL does clean them but hey, better safe than sorry.

No one has actually answered the OP's question... There was was a report that one of the new ships has a modern "fill your bottle" water station. My hotel has one attached to the lobby water fountain: you place your bottle on the "ledge" in the system and it is filled up. The bottle never touches the filler. The airport at San Francisco has these now, too. The photo below is a sample of the new bottle filling stations: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use these all over the place in my hometown and when I travel and they are fantastic and in my experience are totally sanitary (plus the water is chilled!). We sail on Niuew Statendam next month.

You'd be amazed at the process the ships use for purifying their potable water, so don't be afraid to take advantage of it. It's free and readily available.. I am very happy to hear it's good tap water on the Nieuw Amsterdam, I would much prefer free water, than purchasing bottled water (considering the price) Some cruise lines bottled water package is much cheaper than HA. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one of the Royal Caribbean ships, we had our cabin steward's supervisor come to talk w/ us. She said they sterilize the ice buckets. HAL's tongs are hard to retrieve ice, so I use a spoon instead.

Saw one of those water dispensers at the Houston airport, and it worked great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SumoCitrus Posted October 14, 2019 #34 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I drink the dining room and Lido ice water that they give you and it tastes delicious. We usually order a case of Evian for taking around the ship or on shore excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
