Bottled Water question

I drink about 100 oz of water a day, not to mention what the rest of the family drinks so bringing our own saves a lot of money. I also like to have a bottle while out on the verandah in the morning (like some people have coffee), so having it in the room makes it convenient.

I see a number of things about being able to buy bottled water for the ship, or some people wanting to bring it on board in their carry on (which I think is allowed). My question is why bottled water?

I drink bottled SPRING water, because bottled municipal water (dasani, aquafina, etc) is not what I like. Ship's water isn't normal water, and doesn't something funky to both my system and DH's. If we drink the ship's water, we swell. If we don't, we don't. And ship water tastes horrid to me. (this is for both Disney and Royal cruise lines, and I'm certain it would be other lines as well...there are a finite number of ways they get water on ships, after all!)

We tend to just buy the water packages, but I've heard that DCL switched to Dasani (patooie!), so should we ever board a DCL ship again we'll be bringing a ton of decent water on in our carryons. With Royal we buy the Evian packages because it tastes delicious to us, doesn't wreak havoc with our bodies, and bringing water with Royal isn't following their rules.

DCL has no limit, but you need to carry it on yourself (can put it in rollerbags, but you have to get those bags up onto the xray machine belt!).

lol! Good point about getting it up on the xray belt. Isn't that what husbands are for?

We don't drink alcohol, so we bought a 24 bottle case of Dasani on the first day of our 3 night cruise using our $50 Disney Visa beverage credit. We ended up drinking about 18 of them without trying very hard.

We brought Brita water bottles on our last cruise. I filled it up at the fountain machine several times during the day. The water tasted fine and it was practically free. We use the bottles at home, too, so we hadn't bought them just for the trip.
