Thank you to all who answered my question!! I agree that the ships water tastes fine. We've always used refillable cups and bladders for excursions.
However, MIL always carries a bottle of water with her (not a refillable). I didn't want to ask her to change her habit (she's almost 80), so I thought I'd be nice and just bring some bottled water with her.
I was inspired by y'all to ask her what she wants. And, as I thought, she wants some bottled water. I recommended to her that she bring a refillable. She doesn't want to. I will just bring bottled water for her and make the kids drink from their refillables. I didn't want to make her feel like the odd one out, but c'est la vie. I am not lugging 24 bottles of water around the ship on embarkation day.
