I was curious, why do people need to bring their own water on the boat? I was on a Carnival cruise last year and the regular water they had tasted fine to me. Which is surprising for Carnival. Don't most ships at least filter their 'tap' water? I will be on the MSC Divina in a week. I figured I'll just bring a water bottle to fill up as needed. This should work fine, right?

I'll be bringing my kids on a cruise later this year and I will definitely bring water supply enough for the whole duration of the trip just for my two kids, Me and the mister can drink anything it's just that the kids have sensitive tummies. Making sure they won't get sick on board.

On most of our previous cruises we almost always drank tap water. Very safe and it never tasted all that bad. My wife would fill up bottles for shore excursions etc. I don't care much for the taste of chlorine though, especially in my coffee. Bottled water was preferable for me except it was rather expensive and my wife would give me a bad time when I bought them on board. We cruise on three lines, Princess, HAL and Regent. Regent gives us bottled water for free, so I really get spoiled on them.
Recently though, I discovered that on Princess we could order a case of 12, waiting in the cabin, for .57 cents per bottle---500 ml. It is my understanding we can get the same on board by the case anytime for the same price, but a case for two weeks is more than enough. For a month cruise I would order two cases. I'm not about to pack an entire case on board in my luggage, besides some lines are beginning to prohibit that practice.
