Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Safe, FUN drinks while on a cruise??

I went on a cruise last june and finding something to drink was the hardest. The only drinks that are free are coffee, lemonaide, ice tea, and fruit punch there in those fountain machinces, so I have no idea what's in them. Everything else costs money including bottled water, which can add up fast. The next time I go I'll bring some water and my teas with me. You can also buy more bottled water when you make port it will be less expensive that way, than buying one bottle at time on the ship. I don't drink beer or mixed drinks, so I didn't pay attention to how they were made. I know the coke, (my husband drinks it) came in cans so maybe the fruit drinks come in mixes due to storage issues I'm not sure. They have a ton of food to choose from, so that's not a problem, you can literaly eat 24 hours if you wanted. Be careful about touching the hand rails and elevator buttons, usually someone else pushed the floor you need, I saw alot of people get stomach problems, mostly sevre d. b/c of a virus. Take hand santizer with you. Have fun and be sure to check out the spa! The hot oil and scalp massage was fantatic.

p.s. put your swimsuit and maybe an extra pair of shorts or something in your carry on, that way if you want to hit the pool right away you can b/c it took several hours to get our suitcases, they bring them to your room.
