Distilled Water request

[craftsrdkc]

Traveling Regal Princess in 2 weeks...curious...has anyone had to get distilled water in their room.  Husband has CPAP machine and needs distilled water for it.  Has anyone ever traveled with this sleep machine and needed distilled water? Can I simply request from purser's desk, or should we just go to the Walgreen's by our hotel and pick up a small jug before boarding the ship?  Thanks for the help.

Many CPAP users cruise. It's listed in amongst the dietary etc requests in the Personaliser. It will either be waiting for you in your cabin, or remind your steward after boarding and it will be there shortly.

Thanks.  Was trying to find that in the Personaliser.  I will go back and see if I can find it.

Yes order in the personalizer.

You can always just ask Stewart.

Worse case scenario just use the ships tap water.

Don't know how well the Personalizer will work for this, but we've had no problem at all asking Stewart for a jug of RO/Distilled water when we meet him or her for the first time. The big bottle will be delivered to your cabin very quickly, no need to buy it off ship and drag it on board.

Thank you.  I appreciate that.  I put the request in the Personalizer but, as you thought, I may be too late for this cruise request, but I will definitely ask the room steward.  Good to know.

CPAP user here.   I generally put it on the form for medical issues.   AND my TA always enters it.  AND it is never in the room and  I always end up asking the Steward for it.  AND it's always in the room before bed time.  

 

For my upcoming cruise I didn't bother with the form and I'm just going to ask the Steward. 

 

Your mileage may vary.

Just tell your cabin steward, they will drop it off.

I also get the distilled water, not for a CPAP but to use with a neti pot. It’s come in handy a couple of times the ship has lost temporarily water and I have to use it to wash my RGP (hard) contacts too. When I request it on the Personalizer but don’t say it’s for a CPAP, it always gets questioned via an email from Princess, but once I explain what it’s for, there’s no issue.

My mileage is the same as yours.

You can also request an extension cord for the CPAP, you will probably need it.

I have been using a CPAP for over 10 years . You can request it thru your cruise personalizer , thru Princess direct or your TA if you used one.
