I’ve probably drank about 12 of these JUST waters in the past three days. I actually like it. Your hand also doesn’t get cold from holding it like a normal water bottle would. Could you post a photo of the 'ingredients' listing shown on the package - interested in what 'Just Water' is made up of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all potable water on cruise ships are safe to drink. As you indicate. Reverse osmosis will remove sodium. That is a fact. You can filter sea water with one and drink it. Many bottled water companies add vitamins, nutrients and flavor. Others just bottle tap water. Have witnessed ships in various ports of call taking on potable water. It's not all coming from reverse osmosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds right. Though had talked to one officer during a luncheon (from engineering department) who told us they do take it from the ocean, but are limited as to where they can dump the brine. He told me they needed to supplement with potable water from ports. Grenada seems to be a usual they take on water each time we are there (as was two weeks ago).

Spring > UV light > Ozone > Package If that's accurate, the only makeup of that water is what's in the water quality report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure anyone buys that you "swell up with ship water". You have NO right to say what health issues I have with ship water. Maybe one day you will have the Pleasure of having your ankles swell to where you can 't walk....then come back and be snarky. I am not selling so you don't have to buy.

Can see it on the coast road going towards airport/Maho beach. My sister lives north of you in Vero Beach. Nice area you live in. 🙂 Edited February 13, 2020 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of bottled water in screw top P;LASTIC bottles at the bars on the ship' I don't know where this DASANI can stuff started, but as of five minutes ago it is hogwash at least on the Grandeur. Just got off Grandeur last weekend (sailed 1/31), and yeap, plastic bottles of water at all the bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is NOT what Chengkp75 has said before. They RO SEA WATER. Potable water brought on board is not treated. They rely on shore side treatment. To do what you are saying would require a large storage tank for raw water, and a separate storage tank for treated water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted February 14, 2020 #163 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Okay. Yup. He is the only one who knows. Guess I am the stupid one. The water comes in and it is filtered and then sent to the holding tank. Same as any city does. There is no holding tank before the filtering process. But I know nothing. So no sense listening to anything I say. Not only did I work for our cities utility department for 10 years and I am very well versed on how it works. I was also give a tour on a ship by the chief engineer. Saw there reverse osmosis system. Exactly the same as the cities but much smaller. They do it exactly the same way. No difference at all. But again. What do I know? I certainly am not the so called expert on everything imaginable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted February 14, 2020 #164 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Gosh, maybe I am not so stupid after all. Water is often brought onboard in ports. On some ships, water from ports is used strictly for non-drinking purposes like laundry, engine cooling or ballast. Other oceangoing ships treat port water along with the seawater they desalinate to increase the available drinking water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted February 14, 2020 #165 Share Posted February 14, 2020 So from what I read on that. There is a separate holding tank for water pumped onto the ship. Hum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
