Cruiser Frank Posted November 18, 2021 Report Posted November 18, 2021 My wife and I normally do the Evian water bottle package on Royal Caribbean, but noticed that on Adventure of the seas they only offer canned water. Can anybody advise if we can bring our own bottled water from home and if so, how much can we bring or if there is a limit. Quote

smokeybandit Posted November 19, 2021 Report Posted November 19, 2021 I've brought a full case of water on on multiple occasions. But then they changed the rules to where you couldn't check it anymore and lugging that thing around the ship kind of killed the fun of it. THat said, when I was on adventure, it was advertised as cans of water, but on board it ended up being bottles. Quote

GaryAA Posted November 19, 2021 Report Posted November 19, 2021 I was on the Ovation last August and called guest services the first day and was able to get a case of Evian liter sized bottles. They were not shown online before sailing, just the canned water Quote

It is filtered right? I can't drink tap water from most locations as I get really sick. I wish I didn't, but unfortunately I do. I believe someone said all boats are reverse osmosis which is the same process Dasani uses and I can drink their water with no issues. Quote

Yes, the water on the ships is Reverse Osmosis filtered. teddy 1 Quote

smokeybandit Posted November 19, 2021 Report Posted November 19, 2021 I wonder what the ships do with that salt slag leftover from the desalinization process. That's been a big challenge for the commercial plants as well Quote

Are you still able to do that post covidtide? We've always done this, but I heard somewhere that you couldn't right now. Quote

That's been a big challenge for the commercial plants as well Its still salt water, not hard salt , just hyper saline and is passed out of the ship. The fresh remains inside a permeable membrane that allowed fresh to pass under about 900PSI. I have a small water maker n my boat and yes it is near rocket science. I only make 125 gallons a day and thats enough of a pain to frequently monitor the gauges in a hot engine room. The first 7 gallons we make goes back through the system to clean any remaining hyper saline remnants from last usage... Mrs. RoyalMoyal 1 Quote
