Cruise lines consider the distilled water a "special need "and will have a gallon in your room when you arrive. I don't know about hotels.

My husband carries small bottles with a night's worth of distilled water in his checked bag so he doesn't have to look for it. Of course, you wouldn't want to put them in a carry on.

Also, TSA stipulates "Declared liquid medications and other liquids for disabilities and medical conditions must be kept separate from all other property submitted for x-ray screening" ..and that can include water. http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/ ... index.shtm When I last flew, we took an unopened bottle of water for spouse to use for taking meds.. Agent at MN airport tried to say no, but I quoted TSA and they backed off, finally. Good Luck on your travel.

Distilled water isn't too hard to find, Target, Walmart, Wallgreens, CVS, I bet most any grocery or drug store carries it. I wouldn't risk it when a gallon is < $1 everywhere I check.
