Taking water on board


Recommended Posts

  • Host Sharon changed the title to Taking water on board

As far as I am aware there is currently no restriction on taking water onboard, however you can buy it onboard and you can also drink the tap water.

Yes as long as it's not sea water.

Just buy it, surely?

I would agree, not worth lugging it on.

 

For anyone out there who doesn’t know P&O do a special offer for water in the cabin. it is in cans now and they are resealable which is a vast improvement. I didn’t like the previous iteration as when you opened it for a quick drink it  then went flat (for sparkling).

 

I also take a small insulated flask and get a waiter to fill it in the dining room with iced water. I don’t trust the drinks fountains, too many people put pre  used water bottles against the nozzle this spreading their germs.

 

My big sis takes a mini squeezed thing to make fruit squash in the cabin as she doesn’t like plains water. It’s a tiny but lays all cruise.

Tap water is fine. Just chill in your fridge. No need to buy it. 

Some people prefer mineral water. Yes you can take it onboard on joining, or on port days. Your choice. Drink the water out of the tap if you choose.

agree, that's what we do.  Half the stuff in cans and bottles is just plain water.

All the water used on Cruise ships has been passed by the Captain.

There are drink fountains all around the ship where you can refill you bottle and encouraged to do so .

On Iona and Arvia they got water fountains for sure - I don't recall seeing any on Britannia unless they have added them in the refit?

Tap water is the same as you get in the restaurant and bars. Tinned stuff tastes, surprisingly, tinny!

Totally agree,I tried it once and it was diabolical, the tap water in your own bottle then chilled in the fridge is fine. All this social media rubbish about it tasting salty and causing your feet to swell is rubbish, it tastes OK once it's chilled.
