Charge for water in the dining room?

[michigan tim]

I read somewhere that the only water served in the dining room is bottled water that they charge for. Is this true?

I did some research on that and if you ask for tap water they will bring you that and not charge you.

NO. This question has been asked so many times. Where are people reading this bad info?

 

Tap water is free onboard, bottled water they charge for (obveously). Which is weird because the water on board is just as if not more pure than the water in the bottle. (google reverse osmosis desalination)

I hear the air is free in you register when you get on board. :)

The water is completely free, and you do not have to ask for tap water - it is brought automatically unless you ask for bottled.

Im going to google that because I usually only drink bottle water but the water that they served at dinner was great. No need for bottle water I thought the tap water was better. I made my own Ice tea and it was better than there pre made ice tea

All modern ships use "potable" water which is pumped from outlets on the quayside ( look when you get off the ship for a blue 3 or 4" dia pipe). This water is then processed through reverse osmosis equipment to purify the liquid to 99.99 % pure. Bottled water, however, whatever its source is less than 99.99% pure. It contains allsorts of residues from its journey through the ground to its collection point.Remember a few years ago one French company had to retrieve all of its production as the water was deemed contaminated with "hydrocarbons" which had been collected in the water through the rock formations and not filtered out

I personally do not drink bottled "aqua minerali", when on board , for this one reason .I know, from experience in the shipping industry, which is the purer.

We just got off the Mediterranea. We were served free tap water in the dining room. You could order mineral water if you want, there is a charge.
