Canned Water

[bmill7272]

Anyone know what a single 12 ounce can of water costs on Oasis of the Seas?

I’ve noticed RC sells a 12 pack of 12 ounce cans of water for $15.99, but that figures out to be $14.21for a gallon.

Also, how does it taste?

Would like to know also, I purchased 24 cans for our 1/20 cruise.

Celebrity has been doing the canned water for the past couple of years...had it first on a TA in 2019 and recently on a b2b for 21 days.  I didn't detect any tin or metal taste at all.  It was fine and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

I bought some for my 1/29 cruise but since it was Dasani I cancelled my order.

Good to hear.

On Harmony we had cans the second week,  No difference in taste at all.  Not as convenient to reseal, so I poured them into some bottles I had left over.

That's a good idea CK! I was looking at can resealing options, but just bringing a few bottles of water on board might solve the problem.

I know you all are saying there's no taste difference.....but I just can't get my head around drinking canned water

No different than fizzy water, beer, soda or anything else in cans.

yuck.  😉 

 

I dislike those, since you cannot recap it.  We had bottles on first leg Harmony, then they went to the cans.  I was keeping some of the empty bottles to dump the canned water into the bottles.  Then I tried to use the tap water from the bathroom sink...was actually better than the taste of the canned water.  😄

I brought on my allowed 12 bottles.  🙂  Went through all of them AND the ones they gave me as a perk.

like the difference of canned beer versus bottled.  Bucky won't drink the beer in a can.  I don't blame him.  😉

I'm right there with Bucky on that. I'll only drink beer in a can if that's all there is but in my house, it's only bottles. 🍻 I drank a lot of beer in tin cans long before the aluminum cans came around. When I use to drink coke I always preferred it in the bottles over cans.

Order the occasional Pelagrino.  It still comes in a resealable bottle and you can transfer the canned water to one of em once you finish.

So...just how bad does the tap water taste? I know it's desalinated ocean water. I drink a fair amount of water and plan on making coffee and tea in cabin. Wondering if taking a Brita style water purifier might be worth the effort and better than canned water by Coke.

The water taste fine. But, my feet always swell on a cruise, and only on a cruise. They say the sodium content is supposed to be low but I only drank bottled water this cruise and no swelling. 

Unless you are in a suite (Maybe?) no making coffee or tea in room.

Only speaking for my wife and I, the ships tap water taste good to us. We don't think it taste bad or get any side effects from it. Our house has a water softening system in it.

My feet only swell on cruises as well. I have low-sodium listed as my diet, and I try to avoid the tap water (though it tastes fine). It’s hard for me to avoid the ice though. 
 

I’m on Anthem right now. About halfway through the cruise, they switched from bottled water to canned water. It tastes the same to me.  We poured it into a bottle to take it on an excursion. 
 

Edit to add:  We are in a JS and have a coffee maker and a tea kettle.

I plan to use the water kettle for pour over coffee.

I'm curious if they are charging the same price for the canned (12 oz) vs bottled (16.9 oz) water?

 

They should give you two cans for the price of one bottle.  🙂

I don’t know the cost of either, as we both have a drink package.

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to ask this🤣🤣

I am fine with the can.  I drink beer and soda out of cans also.  If I cannot reseal it, I don't care, I have the package, so I will just order another one.

I'm going to bring some empty water bottles and a small funnel to pour the water into bottles to reseal.
