Cruise Question: How to request distilled water?
Bringing a CPAP on a cruise
If you use a CPAP machine, you may need to request distilled water on your next cruise.
I also recommend bringing your own extension cord. You want to make sure the cord is in good condition and does not include a surge protector. Here’s an example of the cord we bring. If you want to order it, click here for my Amazon affiliate link.
Holland America Line - Charge
You can carry it on with your device. Purified or distilled water in factory-sealed containers (including plastic containers) for use in conjunction with medical device(s) are allowed.
As a travel agent, I can request it in advance for you. Holland America does charge for it. It’s about half the price if you pay for it in advance versus ordering it via room service.
Princess Cruise Line - Included
You can request it in advance by emailing: dietaryrequest@princesscruises.com. You can also find it in your Cruise Personalizer under dietary requests. Go to:
