Then, when they are full I can see squeezing it and dribbling water down my chin. Ask for a plastic straw. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If NCL has successfully made the switch on a cruise line and millions of others in North America have as well then why do you assume X customers are so “special “ that they refuse. Enjoy your cheap plastic bottles of water and I’ll choose my alkaline spring water in environmentally friendly packaging. It does look like the environmentally friendly carton has a plastic cap.

Rare Fly and Sail Posted August 8, 2023 #56 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Aluminum Bottles on APEX in AQ this week. Talking about beverages, why are all the Soda's from South Africa?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare What A Market Posted August 8, 2023 #57 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Currently on Apex. All aluminum. These new cans are easy to open. Agree with previous posters that the older cans from one to two years ago were a b@tch to open. Please Celebrity — do not go back to plastic! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tyler414 Posted August 8, 2023 #59 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Just got off a Virgin cruise in the Med. They have no bottled water, you are provided with 2 carafe's filled with water in your room that are refilled as needed by your room attendant and there are several water filling stations around the ship. I did pack two different sizes of stainless steel water bottles with me (I was freaking out packing these things as they take up a decent amount of space) I thought I would hate this, as I like having bottle available at all times... It actually worked out GREAT. The water I brought on excursions stayed cold and the one time I needed more water on an excursion I just bought a plastic bottle for $2 On previous cruises I always over packed water on my excursions because I did not want to run out, and always seem to come back to the ship with un drank bottles that I carried around all day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PTC DAWG Posted August 8, 2023 #60 Share Posted August 8, 2023 If I’m going to be on board the ship for a while, I just ask the bartender for some ice water myself…I like cold water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the US, most if not all the Starbucks sell water in plastic bottles If you ever sail on an X Caribbean cruise in the Winter you would not find Canadians in the minority?😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stuff the clean stainless steel bottles with clean socks or clean rolled sleep shirts to preserve packing space. Yes, I'm weird. Yes, it works.

Yes, I'm weird. Yes, it works. Why pack it at all? Whether in an airport/plane or waiting in line to board the ship, having a water bottle "stuffed" with, you know, water, that you can access anytime is its biggest benefit. We wouldn't want to carry it everywhere so we use a backpack with bottle holder pockets on the sides yet various $5-$10 solutions exist on Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you sail again and they actually haven't removed the metal cans fleetwide, I recommend you try what I do. I bring one of those rubber grip bottle openers. Makes it much easier to open.
