ilovebananas Posted January 18 #1 Share Posted January 18 When I sailed on the Majestic and Discovery Princess they had filtered water bottle fill stations in the buffet area. I have since sailed on the Caribbean and Emerald and they did not have these devices. Has anyone seen them on the Regal Princess or any other cruises?

Get the water into one of their plastic glasses and then transfer to your bottle. We cannot be trusted in the whole to not contact the water spouts with our own containers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not what was asked, as its on some ships already. From memory they are on the Regal Edited January 18 by antsp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare luv2kroooz Posted January 18 #4 Share Posted January 18 As long as they are contactless like those in airports, it's a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted January 18 #5 Share Posted January 18 Maybe a dumb question. Isn't all ship's water as pure or purer than city, well or bottled water, and isn't it all filtered in its production? If filtered at the tap what is being filtered out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise ship drinking water has to meet standards from the World Health Organization and US Public Health Service. Whether testing and published reports are available for the public to read, I don't know. More than filtering happens for certain. I would think water would be desalinated by distillation rather than reverse osmosis because of the amount of heat available from the engines, then minerals added for taste. The water is very "soft" and I wonder if, or how much, salt (NaCl) is added back. https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles/cruise-ship-drinking-water-what-to-expect Edited January 18 by mtnesterz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory they are on the Regal I was on the Regal in April 2023. I did not find any water bottle filling stations. I filled my bottle in the buffet, using a buffet glass to get ice and water. (I thought i had explored the entire ship, but might have missed one, perhaps in the gym?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might of been on the Sky, all cruises blend into one after a while, but they definitely exist Edited January 18 by antsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the water at the buffet may be filtered to take out the chlorine taste? I've always thought there was more of that taste from the stateroom tap, anyway.

MTAK Posted January 18 #11 Share Posted January 18 (edited) I am on Discovery right now an have not been able to find the water bottle fill station, maybe it was removed? Edited January 18 by MTAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadn13 Posted January 18 #12 Share Posted January 18 The buffet area as long as your lid can be completely removed as in the part you fill and drink from aren’t the same it was fine otherwise you need to use a cup to transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked for it in Dec & couldn't find it either, I was pretty excited when I heard they had one but think it has been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
