What kind of bottled water is available?

[inkmahm]

Anyone know what kind of bottled water is available on Princess (Diamond Princess to be exact)? I'm curious about the ship as well as on the land tour to Denali and McKinley lodges.

 

Dasani? Aquafina?

 

Anyone remember how much it costs?

 

I drink a lot of bottled water and generally try to stick with purified water rather than natural Spring Water. I'm trying to figure out if I need to haul water with me from home for our cruisetour.

The water from the ships tap supply is as pure as you can get - just bring some empty containers.

Thanks, but that wasn't my question.

 

Anyone know the answer to what I asked?

Can’t remember the name, I believe it was up to $4.50 for the tall bottles last cruise.

 

As for the second poster and tap water, he was correct. Princess ships make their own water from reverse osmosis, which 80% of bottled water companies do on land. Not pushing it, just try it.

Don't remember the brands but it was $2.00 for a regular size bottle

On CB, Crystal Geyeser spring water, $4 for larger bottle.

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of.

We also had Crystal Geyser on the Golden last month and last Sept. on the Island it was the same.

You can get Pellegrino water from the bar by the bottle.

I was just trying to be helpful - one poster said it is crystal geyser spring water - you said you don't drink spring water.

Soooooo - either take a case with you or empty bottles and fill from the tap.

I plan to take a case+ with me now that I know the bottled water is spring water.

 

Thanks for the info!

I always thought the brand varied, depending on what they get when they last loaded up in port. But, I haven't paid close attention, though I know I've not always gotten the same brand.

Some of the major brands that are not spring water are bottled tap water.

 

The tap water on the ship is at least the quality of those brands.

She/he don't want the tap water - let them haul a case of purified tap water aboard it is what they want. For me tap water is OK. My wife cannotm drink municipal tap water unless put through a Brita filter. She drinks the ship water with no problem.

Its the same thing that comes out of the tap and it is not poisoned by plastic. (just in case you have not been reading the news lately)

I don't care how the water starts out as long as it is purified before it is put in the bottle. That's Aquafina, Dasani, at least one local brand that I buy at home all the time, etc. The bottle will tell you what has been done to the water. I don't buy it if it isn't what I want.

Wait until you've been sickened by tap water and then you might change your mind, too. Spend a few weeks throwing up and in pain from stomach cramps and that changes your perspective a bit.

The water on the ship is purified by reverse osmosis, the same process used to purify the bottled Dasani, etc.
