Kayleigh Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 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 Report Share Posted March 27 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 Author Report Share Posted March 27 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...

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 Report Share Posted March 27 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 Report Share Posted March 27 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.

I don’t understand why Royal isn’t using the aluminum twist top, re-closable, water bottle that Celebrity is using.

KDK Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 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 Report Share Posted March 28 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...
Michelle Barker Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 You can buy can covers for this purpose also. I'm also weird about creepy crawlers and germs going into the open can Kayleigh, Jakejosa, Spang1974 and 2 others 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazingau Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I think they're having a materials/bottling shortage for the aluminum cans and bottles. We had plastic bottles on Navigator a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAYNO Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Earlier this month on Odyssey, we had a combination of plastic bottles and pop-top cans. Also, available for purchase nearly everywhere are a plethora of drink can covers. whitsmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
