can I bring my own water?

[mcatmcat]

I was wondering if you are allowed to bring your own water.

I know Royal don't care but I have no clue wth X

Thanks

They actually limit it to 12 cans/bottles per cabin.

Is it enforced?  At least out of FLL? Princess says that, but you can bring more, such as two 12 packs each person

I have seen this restriction listed several times but I’ve never actually seen it on any celebrity documentation. Do you have a link?

"They" (as I clearly referenced in OP's original message) is Royal. Dunno if it's enforced. It's in their FAQs . X has nothing in its FAQs.

I see.  But over the years I have seen a lot of posters, who have said that Celebrity has a limitation on bringing water on board but I’ve never been able to find anything official on that. Bringing soft drinks on the board is equally murky.

After paying several thousand (usually) for a cruise holiday, why do cruisers want to carry their own water on?   Ive never had a problem obtaining quality water from the dispensers

Please define quality.

I took 2x 24 cans onto the Millennium in April. Nobody gave a damn.

all ice , soup , bread , cakes , expresso  are all made with ship water 

Ship water is probably better than some bottle water 😁

I agree.  The water out of the faucet and at dispensers tastes better than many municipal water sources.   Especially water I have tried to drink out of the tap in Florida.  Initially, I was apprehensive but no longer.

Some passengers mistakenly believe that there is salt in the ship’s tap water which causes their ankles to swell, and try to avoid that by bringing their own bottled water aboard, especially if they don’t have a beverage package.

 

in truth, this is a mistaken belief. The ships tap water does not contain salt. However, some of the food is heavily salted.   For those who do not add salt to their food at home, they may find that the addition of the salt in the food they consume on board can cause ankle swelling, in combination with some possible mild dehydration.  The solution is to drink more water.  Tap or bottled, it won’t matter.

Quality can be defined as conformance to specifications. The degree to which a product meets the design specifications offering a satisfaction factor that fulfils all the expectations that a customer wants.

As we live in Florida it is so easy for us to carry on liters of water (I like to have them in my room) when departing from FLL as we drive and park.  We carried on 4 liters on embarkation day and then bought 8 more at the first port of call as well as a 6 pack of Diet Coke (San Juan the Walgreens is opposite the port) ... no problem at all from Celebrity (this was last week)

When I drink the ship water , my ankles swell. When I drink the bottle water I carry on they don’t.

The ship’s water has no salt so something else is to blame

I like to take my own water on-board so that I don't have to purchase ships bottles when going out on tours.

Water's getting a bad rap.

Good to hear.  We aren't doing a drink package, so we will bring on what we want.  Thank you.

The water on board comes from the onboard desalinazation system.  Some people find the traces of salt in the ship's water bothers some. Others just prefer their own brand.

You are not alone.  On our recent cruise out of NJ we flew in the night before and did not have a chance to pick up a case but I did see any number of cases of water being delivered with luggage on day 1.

That might be easier to follow if you also said that you don’t drink any drinks with ice, or have any soup, or drink, coffee, or tea, or anything else that is made with the ships water.

I can only tell you what works for me , It’s not like I enjoy hauling the water.
