Carnival Cruise Line: Carnival has one of the loosest beverage policies of all cruise lines, allowing each guest to carry on a maximum of 12 sealed 12 oz.cans or cartons of a non-alcoholic beverage (e.g., sodas, juices, milk, or sparkling water) – a policy that most cruise lines have eliminated.
Cruise ship tap water is safe to drink unless you are told otherwise by the ship's authorities.

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.
Most ships can store 500,000 gallons of fresh water in massive tanks located in the hold area. After guests have used the water for showering, toilet water, laundry, etc., the crew treats it before releasing it into the ocean. A cruise ship will bring fresh water onboard when they visit ports.
