Before we started cruising, I used my soda stream every day!! I don’t like flavored soda full of sugars, but I LOVE sparking water with a slice of lime and I also add sparkling water to my wine to make wine spritzers. I really wasn’t sure how I was going to survive without it.
I was not going to purchase single use bottles and create even more plastic pollution. I also did not want to purchase and lug cans of club soda back to the boat.
I started researching how to exchange and/or fill empty Soda Stream canisters in the Caribbean and my research was not coming up with good news and I almost didn’t bring my Soda Stream with me….. But, I am very happy I did!! I have good news for all of you Soda Stream users, on boats cruising the Eastern Caribbean.

We loved our SodaStream and bought a 5lb CO2 bottle and adapter so we didn’t need to worry about refills for long intervals. Friends aboard another boat carried two 10lb canisters which lasted for ages!!
