Bring your favorite water bottle with you that can keep your beverage cool all day (we love HydroFlask and Swell bottles). The cruise water at the buffet is perfectly safe to drink. If you don't like the taste, throw a lemon or a few strawberries into it.
Since the drinking water on cruise ships is safe to drink, refillable water bottles and drinking cups are the ideal way to stay hydrated, both onboard and in ports.

Water is always free of charge on most cruise ships. You may be asked to pay a fee for some versions of bottled water. However, you can likely ask for a jug of iced water in any restaurant or bar for no added cost. There are several water dispensers present on a cruise ship so that you can help yourself.
Water used for drinking is usually taken from seawater undergoing a desalination process. River cruise ships have smaller water stores. Fresh water supplies are topped up during each port visit, which isn't a huge problem since their travels don't run several days between port visits.

When a toilet is flushed on a cruise ship, the sewage travels to the onboard treatment plant. Here the waste is filtered before it enters an aeration chamber. The aeration chamber cleans the waste. It is then sterilized using UV light and released into the ocean when clean enough to do so.
Can you bring snacks, like candy, on a cruise? Shelf-stable snacks like chips, pretzels, protein bars or any other items packaged in sealed wrappers are permitted on every major cruise line.
In many cases, no. Several of the biggest cruise lines, including Carnival, Holland America and MSC Cruises, have a rule that if one adult in a cabin orders a drinks package, all adults in the cabin must order the package. This is to prevent two or more people in a cabin from sharing a single drinks package.
It depends. Some cruise lines, such as Carnival, limit the number of alcoholic drinks that any one person can order using a drinks package to 15 in a day. That is, of course, an enormous number — more than most people will ever want to order.
Guests who bring their own bottle of wine into the dining room are charged a corking fee. You can, however, bring a glass of wine to dinner and not be charged. Just ask your stateroom attendant for some wine glasses and a corkscrew, and you can sip and savor a glass of wine whenever you'd like.
DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN toilet paper, or flush so-called flushable wipes. The plumbing system is not like what you have at home. If you clog your toilet, you affect others on you hallway. The TP provided is specific for the system on the ships.

You might be a big fan of bottled water and refuse to drink tap water, but a cruise ship's water is MUCH better than tap water. They have high-tech filtration systems that allow the water coming out of your bathroom sink to be clean and more than pure enough to drink.
