Bottled Water?

[Lex]

I am looking forward to my first cruise in March. Probably aboard the Mariner. Can anyone tell me whether there is bottled water availiable? If not, is it a problem to bring a case aboard?

Thanks.

The two cruised that I have been on there has been bottled water available for purchase. I have read of people taking soda on board with them so I imagine water would be no different.

To me it is to much of a hassle to carry on so I just buy when I want something.

A large Bottle water is I believe $3.50 plus tip. We have brought onboard 12 1 liter Diet Pepsi to help keep the costs down. It is also nice to have it in your cabin when you need to wet your whistle. There is soda in the fridge but if you drink one I think 1 can of soda is like $1.50. You can buy soda in a port and carry it on. They try to block alcohol to come onboard but many people bring cases of beer every cruise.

We brought some bottled water with us while travelling and for excursions. You can keep them in the refrigerator in your room (Mariner).

You can purchase them from within your room which are more costly (Evian??). You might be able to purchase elsewhere, but I cannot remember.

I also remember they were also selling larger, cold bottles of water as you were in line, exiting the ship for excursions. Have a great trip! Mariner is awesome!!!
