Bottled water on board

[exiles]

Looking at the gift list of things to pre-order. It's shows a picture of Dasani water instead of Evian. Have they switched brands of bottled water?

 

[DISNEY FANTASY]

Yes a while back as Dasani is a coke company.

To be honest you really don't need bottled water. The tap water is well filtered and treated and tastes better then the bottled.

They've generally had Dasani (because of the Coke contract) on cruises out of the USA and Evian in Europe.

We got Dasnai in the Med in 2014.

PS

Spell Evian backwards and that tells you the joke about the water and if you buy it.

Thank all of you for your replies but why when someone asks about bottled water, people have to tell everyone that the water on the ship is great and is just as good. When they desalinate water there is residual salt that is in the water and causes discomfort for some people. I just wanted to know which brand Disney is now using.

I asked a similar question in April 2015 prior to our cruise in May 2015. They had both on board for sale. I am trying to remember now, but I think you got a few less bottles with the Evian case than with the Dasani. We chose to carry on two cases of Dasani water for a 14 day cruise, yes, 2 cases! And that bag was HEAVY! I found that the cruise ship water made me swell up. Something about the desalinization or something, so I was glad we had the water with us. The ship water tasted fine...but it definitely was not "cleansing".

 

[MunFam]

Ha! Posted at the same time as you. I definitely had an issue with the desalinization

Got to say I agree I answered your question directly and didn't add an opinion. The thread then jumped over to another discussion on the merits of ship water. That was not asked, your free to do what you want.

I do drink ship water, but I buy bottled water for ports of call so there are assumptions made that are incorrect.- I do not buy Naive (Evain) but proper bottled water.

On the 6/6 Norway cruise on the Magic they had Evian. I don't think there is any Dasani being sold in Europe? At least in Germany the water sold by the Coca Cola Company is called Bonaqua.

On the water quality: I used to always drink the tap water from the room, but this time the water from our room had a definite chlorine taste to it. It was mainly noticeable once it was filled into our water bottles to take it with us during the port days. When we got it from the drink stations, it was fine.

We also saw a very long baby blue hose attached to the Magic when we were in port in Stavanger that had the following printed on it "Only to be used for potable water". So, I guess there are different sources where the drinking water can come from.

Just out of curiosity: Why is Evian not proper bottled water?? Since I am not a bottled water drinker (unless we are talking sparkling waters), I would love to know what you would consider proper!

Me being slightly jokey, To me its not a good taste its over priced and there are far better (English) natural waters with a full taste. Evian is bland its "water" but nothing interesting and as good as tap water. imho.

From concierge we got a create of free Dasani in 2014, so maybe they top up in Europe.

thats pretty harsh. i think the responses were meant to help you. not everyone knows that the water on board is filtered and that information has saved a lot of people money. drinking the water on board may not be an option for everyone but it is for some and the posters just want everyone to know it is not dirty, useless water.
if you ask a question, be ready for all kinds of information which is mostly meant to help, not hinder.

Sorry to discuss a related subject and possible save a.fellow cruiser some money.I was just pointing out a alturnitive.

Just for the record there is not any residue salt in reverse sasmosis/filtered tap water, except for the minerals added to it after treatment to give it flavor of regular fresh water.

We were on the Magic in March for a west bound caribbean and were in Concierge and the water they brought us was Evian.

Not necessarily true. for water to be considered fresh water it must have less than 1000 ppm of salt. This means that the water can have much more salt than most of us are used to getting in our water. That is why some people have problems with the ships water.

 

[Tonka's Skipper]

Sorry, I disagree knowing a little about the suytem. However I don't want to interfear with the thread topic.
