Hey Nonny,
We have never done an Amazon cruise. Our trip on the Stella Solaris was
from Galveston to Athens, Greece.
I don't particularly remember that the Stella had brown water in the taps,
but I do recall that some ship we were on had brown water.
The thing that surprised me most recently was the taste and sediment in the
water on the Carnival Pride on the GGC2007. For the last ten years or so
the tap water on all our cruises has been excellent till this cruise. I
know that most of the ships have a de-salination plant onboard and the tap
water is, in fact, distilled water.
I suspect that the Carnival Pride must have filled their tanks onshore at
Long Beach instead of using the de-salination system. I'm not saying the
water was unsafe to drink, but even the ice had a bad smell, and melted ice
in the cabin seemed to have residue floating in it if left in the glass
overnight.
We have a fridge ice/water dispenser at home and we usually drink about four
times as much water as we could stand on the ship.
