What Happens After You Flush on a Cruise Ship
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лис 2019
- These days, any cruise ship is like a huge city, where every detail is thought out so that passengers feel just as comfortable as on land, only better. You can take a shower, do the laundry, or swim in a pool. But where does all the dirty water go?
The average ship spends about 40-50 gallons of water per passenger every day. It makes tons of wastewater that needs to be utilized. Say, the world's biggest cruise ship, Harmony of the Seas, can carry about 5,500 passengers together with 2,300 crew members. They produce about 312,000 gallons of wastewater daily!

SUMMARY:
- Even though the passengers don’t notice, the water supply system onboard the ship is designed to use the water sparingly.
- And still, the average ship spends about 40-50 gallons of water per passenger every day.
- Greywater comes from laundry, showers, baths, and kitchens. Blackwater comes from bathrooms.
- The highest volume of wastewater comes from greywater. It gets mixed with some of the blackwater and is sent to the bio-reactor.
- Chlorine and other chemicals aren’t used since they’re bad for the sea’s eco system.
- The solid waste that was filtered at the first stage is kept in special tanks until the ship arrives at the harbor where it’ll be utilized.
- Scientists have noticed that ballast water taken from one ocean and thrown into another is bad for the ecosystem.
- The species of plankton and other sea inhabitants vary in different oceans, and the “strangers” can start destroying the “natives”.
- Sensitive detectors measure the level of oil in the water, and if it’s even a bit higher than what’s allowed, the water is sent for cleaning again.
- There’s special staff on board every ship who sort out the garbage into 4 categories - food waste, paper, metal and glass, and plastic.
- Most of the food waste is considered natural: it doesn’t do any harm to the sea’s ecosystem.
- Household waste, cooking grease, and solid waste are kept on board until the ship arrives at the harbor and is utilized there.
- Metal and glass are just thrown overboard. Surprised? These two just drop to the bottom and do no harm to the sea.
- Strict rules also apply to the passengers themselves. On every deck of a cruise ship, there are usually special instructions that forbid them from throwing anything overboard themselves.
- Turns out, all cruise ships have desalinating plants. When the ship goes farther than 25 miles from the land, they take seawater, which goes through a many-layered filter, a powerful ultra-violet lamp, and a desalinator.
- The desalinating plant is the size of a room and gives enough fresh water for all the passengers and crew.

Hey guys! Do you separate your household waste?
BRIGHT SIDE yes I recycle all the time.
hi bright side you are cute lightbulb.🤓💡❤️
awwwwww
Yep
Yes and I love U
"Captain, the ballasts are too low. The ship is destabilizing."
"Call the kitchen. We're serving burritos tonight."
Joke 6:03
He: throws plastic flask in the water
Security: throws him🤣
Why dit I saw this myself but didn't tough about it 😂
xDDDDDD lollol you made my day
Ow man, now there’s two more pieces of trash in the ocean. 😉
If the kardashians were on that ship they would get recycled 😂 lol
😂
*plot twist:*
_they do throw it to the sea but they clean it first_
Young CA transcity
You’re correct
Some still do dump the waste into the sea and CLAIM they treat it first. That's why I don't support cruise lines.
Young CA stop asking it doesn’t matter
@Young CA stop asking so many questions kid
They respect the eco system more than my mom respect me😂😂😂
thats dark but kind of funny 😂
Its not because they want to it’s because they literally have to
@cam Collins no I'm joking

Lol
I learned something new today. Thank you for teaching me about this

That was interesting. Thank you.
Thank you 😍💯 bright side. Your stories are always interesting
Thanks for the information! Nicely presented and easy to understand!
Love how crew ships want to be ECO friendly 😊

@@alemoreno2910 no where in that video anyone claim the guy in the video is the owner of Bright side.....
What a nice supprise! I thought the plastic problem was all the ships dumping rubbish. Thank you ... youve made my day.
In the late 90"s I was on an old Chandris Line cruise ship. I was up late at night, on the stern and looked overboard (towards the ships wake). The crew was throwing all sorts of stuff overboard, leaving a long, floating trail--but it was at 1am, so who noticed.
Did he ask how many people could get teabagged on a cruise ship?😆😆😆
Nobody:
Not a single soul:
UA-cam: Hey, you wanna know what happens when you flush the toliet on a cruise ship?
Me: Alrighty then, I should be sleeping but, i guess I'll watch it.
Edit: wow this is the most likes I've ever gotten on a comment, thanks for the likes!
Lol
💨🏰 , what happens ? Does your pp bend towards the wrong way ?
@@potsy5263 it bends invertly , towards itself , ha ha ha ha ha ha
LOL
Good night
I loved the style of this video, the music and the videos teachings were on point.
Thank you for explaining how it works
80% of the things said here came from Casual Navigator.
I love the epic music that is playing through out the peaceful vid of ships
Gray flask of toyota is milk under a yo-yo of coffee. In france the elephant mobile pizza plays blind
Oh Boy!! I’m glad to have learned all this fun facts!! I wasn’t sure on what to expect …
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!
I was so worried that they were going to say they reuse the water for drinking and bathing purposes lol
They probably do...
Yeah me too
I’ve already watched a video that says the water that we flush is repurposed for drinking water ..... & not 1 comment was disgusted ..... only me 😳
@@FromMaddi2You Yum, with extra flavors...
LoL
When I watch videos like this, I know it time for me to go to bed
I'm lucky I'm home schooled
I feel yah HAHAHA
Bright side videos are awesome!
I was on a cruise ship half an hour ago so this made me shocked and I also learned something new. Thx
Why am I watching this?Im not going on a cruise ship not anytime soon
dude me too. i have no intention of EVER being on a cruise ship, yet here i am, like "yes i should know this"
Wow!!! This video was so informative. Enjoyed it. Also felt good by seeing all of the majors taken to protect Eco system. I hope these majors are getting followed everywhere in sea travel industry. Thank you.
Very interesting information. Thanks for sharing!
The ship systems are really complicated and well-designed.
I love this channel everyday i learn something new ☝
Keep the info coming its very educational
Wow, cruise ships are sustainable (well at least about water)!!! 👍
A lot of rules of when and where to throw trash in the ocean and then it depends on its category like if it metal etc imagine applying to work on these ships and being trained and taking a test on bio hazards and waste lol 😂
If there is a desalination process that converts sea water fit for drinking than why is there a hue and cry about drinking water declining all over the world? Is it the cost involved or something else?
Please make more things like this pleaseeee!!!! I learned so mutch!
Thanks for this
Funny
You posted this video while I’m on a cruise ship
Funnier -- they posted it while I'm on the toilet.
@YT- Saad_Salman cruise ship toilet??
*throws glass *
Dad: thats illegal
Me: it's made of sand
Edit: thanks for 148 likes
Lol
You joke, but there are a lot of cruisers (people who live/travel by sailboat) that actually do throw glass overboard based on that idea.
nuget102 true and XenoGravity Nh true also..
About glass, it's okay. But not with metal.
Metal can still have thin plastic layer in it.
Glass varies some glass is made of sand from beach some isnt.
My favorite channel 💯👍🏼👍🏼
That was fascinating! Really interesting.
As a crew member, for 7 years.. I must say, you guys explained even better than the environmental trainings that we have on board ❤️👍🏻
EDIT: YES, the tea bags are a huge issue when it goes mixed with food waste
This is good music in the background
@@zoltanm3903 😐..........???
I really enjoyed this video
I love your videos!!
Thought this was such a Coincidence cuz I just got back from a cruise on Friday
To summarize, that toilet water gets dumped into the ocean on SOME ships.
This is actually really interesting, glad I clicked on this video!
One of the best BRIGHT SIDES ever in my opinion. I had no idea about any of this. I'm not talking just 50% of the facts were new to me; I'm saying every single fact discussed here, 100%, was new and surprising to me. That's amazing work for the producers/writers to achieve that for 7 straight minutes.
They should make declinator's for places that need fresh water 💧
Yo true declinator’s need to be everywhere so everyone can access fresh water, and water is human necessity
Desalinators* smh 🤦🏻♂️
Me. Sees the tittle then clicks on it and says did I pick this video anyway🤔?
dheerajjadhav it’s Title 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 learn engash
Hi
Thanks I recently went on a cruise to Bermuda and I really wondered where all the waste went 🤣🤣
I love you Bright Side! I have been a subscriber since 2017.
I thought this said “what happens when you flush a cruise ship”😂😂😂 did anyone think the same thing?
Geometry Dash Nebula, me too. XD
Its a surprise to me how its legal to throw glass bottles into the ocean.
That part is not 100% accurate. The glass and metal that does get added to the ocean gets crushed or shredded first so that there is no way for marine life to get stuck inside of it.
But there are some that arnt allowed into the water. For those it getsdesposed of properly on land
Maybe because glass is made of sand, no???!!!!
How else would you send your message??
That’s awful glass is thrown overboard. Broken glass kills marine life
Great video
I’m just loving the music choice
"Now I get it why sea water is salty"
Underrated lol
me: at 3%
youtube: wanna know what happens to human sewage and disposals on a cruise ship?

Lol, I always wondered what happened here. Cool video!
WOW! Thank you!!!
Where do impurities go after filtering water, do they dispose it into the sea?
Guess.
He said worlds biggest cruise is Harmony of the seas... Isn’t it a actually symphony of the seas ?
They're sister ships
i was looking in the comments to see if anyone noticed
Ive been on harmony of the seas and yeah symphony is the worlds biggest cruise
Now I understand why many people get sick on these ships.
I thought I knew quite a lot about cruising but I didn't know this! Everyday is a school day 😁❤️
Worlds biggest cruise ship is Harmony of the seas
Symphony of the seas : am I a joke ????
Symphony is a copy cat

Hello random person scrolling through the comments
I hope you're having a great day
10k subs without a video ! Thanks 🙏
Thanks you too🙂
I like this video so much! Thank you!There are indeed a lot of problems with ships polluting the oceans in our life,however,fortunately,which have been improved. If you don't mind, I would like to ask your permission to share this video to the other wedsite in China for the embarrassing reason that UA-cam is blocked from accessing in China. Of course, i will give sources of the original wedsite.Thank you very much!
Hello friend, I'm Tom Green from Indonesia, I was on board on 2013, to go to Alaska, and they let us to know, their process of their waste. Its very interesting for me, and I hope to supply food for their big ships, when they passing my country. They manage everything well for this nature. At the time, I use Voyage of the Sea...
1:01, is the world’s biggest cruise ship the Symphony of the Seas?
it is, they are off by a couple years
Dis guy yes it is the biggest ship
On some cruise ships if the hit a rock or if some outside party of the cruise ships cracks they put down like the water blocker so the water doesn’t go in all the cruise ship and sink I liked and subbed your the best
I like this video so much! Thank you!There are indeed a lot of problems

Maybe a calmer background music would've done this video better lol. Sheesh who ever picked that soundtrack must've been high on coffee that day.
Correct. Primitive sound! Besides the false info.
Sounds like you're high on drugs. Nobody cares what you say.
Pretty sure once these cruise ships hit international waters they dump their sewage.
I rode on the Harmony of the seas and it was awesome!
Not the video I wanted, but the video i needed!
Well the ocean life does it...
Doesn’t that mean we could too?
Sort it out please
Hi random person scrolling down the comments
Have a great day 🤗🤗🤗
This is nice and am mind blown!!
Every time I watch these videos at the end they ask did you learn something and I learn way *much* more than the title
I thought the dirty water will go through processes and turn into clean water again, like what they do on the I.S.S
Well, that process isn't exactly fast plus the crew is only like what 6-7 people?
You...make my little pony videos?
Who was a fan before 2019
👇👇
Love the vid
Enjoyed this video as i do lots of cruises. Question for you: what do they do with passengers that are unruly or cause serious problems while at sea? Do they have some kind of holding cell somewhere? What if a riot breaks out because the cruise line is unable to stop at ots original ports that passengers paid for? What happens then?
So if desalination works that well, how come California still have water crisis?
Dam Son: Because They're Not Dutch...!!
Desalination is expensive and power hungry. A cruise ship is already running a heat producing engine which helps to keep the costs down.
Cost really. Desalination is really expensive, it takes a ton of energy and filters need to be changed often. A cruise ship is producing that power as a byproduct of moving through the ocean via a engine. For that to be done on land you would need
1) a MUCH bigger desalinator
2) the power to run it.
It would be a huge tax on a existing cities power grid, so that would have to be accounted for as well.
UA-cam: do you know what you always wanted to know?
Me: euu, no
UA-cam: You want to know what a cruiseschip does with its trash!
Me: oké, not really but hey, here we go!
Good
It's very useful
that's a happy way to talk about all the garbage they are still allowed to throw into the sea. if the treated waste water really would be "cleaner than the ocean water" they would re-use it as drinking water instead of desalinating ocean water.
Who else gets a notification and wonders what it could be and excitedly you press it, It’s BRIGHT SIDE
Me: YAY MY DAILY FACTS NOTIFICATION
Me see thumbnail: That’s why ocean are so salty
Also me: All that time at the beach...I think ima throw up now
Thanks
As a marine engineer i thinck this video can be used as training for the marine student.. nice video
World’s largest cruise ship is symphony of the seas
More than half of the first comments I see is: *fIRsT!*
Thanks!!! The only issue is GMO or Non-organic food and BPA cans/metal thrown into the ocean - which is bad for our ecosystem too. Remember national parks or even parks urge people not to feed animals or throw anything on ground, because it does alter their ecosystem. I am very impressed by what they had done with everything else on the ships! This is such a great relief. I just hope they realize the facts about our food-waste and metal/cans. The other potential harm about metals/cans are that some fish/mammal parts might get stuck in them.
GREAT MUSIC DUDE!😎
Imagine being one of the first...
