Kayleigh Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 I know some ships (maybe all) are transiting to canned water. Can someone please tell me if Independence has canned or bottled water? My husband and I leave for Independence in 5 days and if they are canned water, I'll need to bring some tumblers for us (well me mainly). It's something about canned water and not being able to close it back up. Thanks SaddenedAlmostDiamondPlusM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby Dick Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Good question, Kayeigh. I'm wondering if, when they say "Canned", does it mean the "Aluminum" type material. I know there are some folks, like my father was, that can't put "Aluminum" on his lips. It caused the nastiest sores on his lips and knowing such things beforehand would, like you, necessitate bring a tumbler or get something while on the ship. Of course, if you get the drink package, you get a Coca-Cola tumbler in your cabin when you arrive. Happy sailing to you/all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayleigh Posted March 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Thank you! I'm more concerned about the water being "left open". I'm weird (and extra ) when it comes to water. Mainly during the night if I need a drink, I don't have to worry about something floating in there. I'll most likely bring my tumbler anyways (this time around we aren't buying any drink packages. We are just using our many OBCs) Moby Dick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one reason I really like drinking water from bottles, you can close them up as you go along. Cans - well, if I can't/don't finish whatever is in it, I just throw it away especially carbonated drinks, they go flat and are nasty. BTW, I don't throw away much beer, imagine that!

barjpoe Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 We did a B2B on Mariner end of Jan beg. of Feb. 1st cruise was canned, 2nd cruise was bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moby Dick Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 This thread make me think of a question. Cans are what 8 - 12 oz., I remember when we would depart the ship at port(s) of call, they, the crew, would be at the exit/gangplank selling liter/2 liter bottles of water to take with you while in port. I wonder what they do now? I don't think I want to carry around several "cans" of water OR one large "can" of water. Like I said earlier, you can't seal off an open can of water. Unless they have though of a work-around, I don't think I like this new policy. Maybe they should sell beer cans as we exit the ship, no waste there.

KDK Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Yes, I was also wondering how I can travel on excursions with canned water. It seems you would need to drink the whole thing in one go. I actually cancelled my water package and ended up getting the refreshment package instead once I found out that the water was in cans!

Ampurp85 Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Indy had the cans in Jan, but other ships seem to have a mix. In Feb on Freedom, the crew were drinking the cans while guest was getting the water bottles. There is no discerning taste to the cans, and they can be left open. I usually bring a water bottle to fill up so either way I can reseal my water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAYNO Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Earlier this month on Odyssey, we had a combination of plastic bottles and pop-top cans.

Neesa Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Nice! When we were on the Odyssey in December I purchased a case of Evian for the room. They said they ran out and provided Dasani instead, a few extra bottles for the "inconvenience" I quickly sent it back and asked for any type of spring water. Dasani taste is not at all pleasant to me. They did adjust the pricing and deliver in a blue can of Royal Spring water but I was upset they thought that was okay. They never found any Evian for us but by the end they took off the charge and the Royal Spring Water was better then I expected, it was weird at first the whole can thing but it was just fine surprisingly. With all of the sodium in the food and being on the ship I drink a lot of water and monitor my ankles daily, Dasani seems to add to the swelling in my opinion. A successful sailing is when my ankles are still ankles at the end. Big Tule 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Green Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 I just saw this on my Oasis Cruise Planner under beverages, buy you can get 12 to 24 cans of water under Beverages. Looks like RC going to cans. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those look so good. I had ordered the "24 cans of water" on Symphony back in Feb. They sent us 48 10 oz plastic bottles of Evian at no additional charge. We much prefer a bottle to a can. We gave our cabin stewart the extras because we couldn't drink them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 I had cans replaced with big Evian bottles last July. Two weeks ago the bottles were just regular ole Sam's Club type bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed- I drink it all the time in the room without issue. The only downside is it's usually tepid or warm - can't get cold drink unless ices is available.
