Can we talk about how disgusting cruise ships are and how they pollute so heavily and are filled with old rich boomers? They're truly the worst and are very OSHA.

I would actually be interested in an effortpost on the various problems with cruise ships for those who don't know much about them.

Cruise ships are full of them to the point where they regularly have outbreaks of diseases that only come about when people basically poo poo in their hands and then touch food with their poo poo covered hands. That alone sums up why anyone who wants to go on a cruise is a horrible poo poo monster.

Hey now -- let's be realistic. The organism most commonly implicated in cruise ship gastrointestinal outbreaks, norovirus, can survive on hard surfaces for weeks, is transmissible by aerosol, and is so contagious that as few as three individual viral particles can start an infection. You absolutely don't have to be making GBS threads on your hands to transmit it. Just walking through a bathroom where someone was making GBS threads or puking explosively in one stall is enough to get you. In one case, a woman threw up at a table in the corner of a restaurant and within three days 52 other people who were in the dining room at the time had also contracted the illness. It is truly a miracle of efficiency

Lazyhound posted:So what check keeps it from spreading uncontrollably? It's not a very long-lived infection, and people who are exploding fluids out both ends dozens of times a day tend to be incapacitated enough that they don't go to work and infect their whole office like they do when they have the flu. In an environment where there are lots of people in close quarters, like a cruise ship or an elementary school or the republican national convention, it does spread quite uncontrollably. The only way to really stop transmission is quarantine.

Or if you are in the cruise industry, encourage everyone to walk around 24x7 coated in Purell. That won't do it either but like airport security it helps everyone feel better, and provides for handy scapegoats ("I bet that poo poo-handed fuckhead didn't slather his body with it like he was told!" and so on).

I'm sure the ship staff are more concerned with catching an STD than the turd-cyclone virus.

Norovirus is like a chemical weapon. If you’re anywhere near it, you’re hosed, but anyone dealing it isn’t going to be in a condition to do so for long.

I was on a cruise ship going through ~25ft seas and could still walk a reasonably straight line down the hallways, we didn’t get to where the furniture was sliding around though.

Platystemon posted:Norovirus is like a chemical weapon. Really the one saving grace of norovirus, the thing that prevents it from being a constant pandemic, is that it's so violent and nasty (yet mostly harmless as long as you stay hydrated) that even the assholes who regularly come into work/school all snotted up and spewing germs are too wiped out to leave their houses. Anyone who shares a household, and especially a bathroom, with an infected person will probably also get sick -- but they too will be too incapacitated to go out in public and it self-limits. There's a couple of days' incubation period from infection to first symptoms, so sometimes it'll sneak up on someone and they puke all over the school auditorium or the cruise ship dining hall, and then yep everyone in the room is hosed. But most of them self-quarantine as well, so they're not likely to infect any of their other social groups unless it also sneaks up on them, and so on. It rips through any closed population like wildfire though. One of my cousin's babies brought a norovirus home from daycare and within a week their entire extended family of 30+ people had caught it because they all kept showing up at each other's houses with soup or whatever.

There is no doubt in my mind that people in the full grip of it will still get their rear end on the cruise ship because they paid good money for it and aren't going to miss the trip.

And I'm sure they treat things differently but the people letting you on the cruise ship don't give a poo poo either. Their hard limit for pregnant women is like 6months- any bit over and you're denied entry. My wife was something like two weeks over and we had to forge papers to get on- stupidly we left the original paper from the doctor in the file and the dude checking us in was like "ok, which one of these dates do you want to use?"

Just prior to Thanksgiving, I had just gotten out of the hospital after three days being treated for a making GBS threads/vomiting lower GI infection. My kids had all come home for the holiday, and my wife (who works at a local HS) picked up Norovirus, and (I think) transmitted it to me while still at the hospital. Came home, and yep, within 24 hours I was trying to puke out my entire GI tract every 10 minutes on the hour. I was like, jfc, I was just dehydrated, and borderline kidney failure, and now this. Every single one of my kids got it, in repetition, roughly 24 hours apart. Needless to say, we "quarantined" in our house, away from the relatives, and no Turkey was eaten by anyone. That's my norovirus story, and oh, I live about an hour away from Norwalk, OH where it was first isolated, I guess.

My norovirus story involved making the wrong split second decision when having to decide whether to put my face or my rear end into the toilet first when I had to violently puke and poo poo at the same time, so I ended up painting the wall behind me with poo poo every time I heaved into the toilet.

Having said that, those waves have to be goddamn monstrous to roll that ship around Your ship would've had big old fin stabilisers, the effect of which is highly related to the speed of the ship through the water. For an anchored ship they do diddly. Doesn't really take much for big ships to get a decent roll on.

A bathroom where you can't sit on the toilet while vomiting in the sink is just faulty design.
