I once cruised on Carnival and they had this huge Evion bottle in the cabin. I want to just bring my normal smaller water bottles from home and refil them while on the ship.<BR><BR>Will the ship's water taste funny (too much chlorine) or should I just bring a bunch of water bottles?

Stay home!

Hi Samantha,<BR><BR>The ship's water in the bathroom is fine to drink. It is the same water that is served in the dining room. Not the water in the toilet. <BR><BR>If you are still concerned get the water from the buffet water counter.<BR><BR>All the drnking water on the ship including the water in the shower is pure desalinated sea-water. You will not taste chlorine.<BR><BR>Paul

Contrary to what Paul said (no - really!)...I've been on 15 cruises and on about 12 of them, there has been a distinct chlorine flavor to the faucet water the day before we pulled back into a US port, ostensibly so they could pass a potential Health exam.<BR>Get a Brita sports bottle with a replaceable filter - it's small, handy, and makes the water taste like real water instead of swimming pool water.

Have always drunk the water on cruise ships, and am amazed at how good it is. I take a sports bottle and fill it up in the buffet area, or fill it up in the cabin, with ice from the ice bucket. I have never tasted clorine.

The price of the water is included in the price of the sheets.

Water - did the water in the dining room also taste like chlorine on the last day? It comes from the same tank.<BR><BR>Paul

I have also noticed a chlorine taste in the water on a majority of my cruises. It has varied from faint to quite strong, both in the cabin and the dining room (and during the whole cruise, not just near the end).
