Interesting and informative. When I first cruised,back in 1970,I remember when bagged garbage was thrown overboard and one would see these plastic bags floating behind the ship,much to the dismay of us passengers. Thankfully this practice no longer exists
Thank you Chris. A very detailed explanation both 'then and now' of how waste is handled on ships. Appreciate your sharing your expertise, looking forward to exploring more of your older videos as well as keeping up to date with the latest. Thanks again.
Hi Chris. Although You operate out of Australia You referred to the U.S. conversion of Gallons into Litres. 1 Imperial Gallon equals 4.5 Litres. Not 3.7 as is the U.S. conversion from U.S. gallons. Regards. David.
I was on a p&o cruise recently and I filmed sewage being dumped at sea, it looked horrendous and it didn’t look like it had been treated. I was really disappointed I thought sewage was dealt with in port.
That was really interesting 😊 I'm glad to know that the shampoo etc I bring on board are good in the gray water and discharge as they don't have parabens, micro plastic or harsh sulfites or chemicals. Honest, I just have hyper sensitive skin so I can't use product with those ingredients
The easiest solution worldwide would be not to use products that have microplastic inside them. They're also very difficult, I think, to remove in land based treatment plants.
What an interesting presentation. I hope all ships are monitored for any possible violations and held accountable. You presented some good points that we as passengers need to adjust to. Thanks Chris for a great job.
Thanks so much!! I’d love to do more lectures on P&O. I’m not booked at the moment. If you have a moment to let them know you’d like to see more maritime history talks aboard that would help 🎉🙏 thanks for your support and kind words.
Had you ever wondered?
Wow this video deserves more views
We agree 😂

I need to know which products to take on my next cruise, later this month. Good info Chris.

Thanks David. We don’t use gallons at all in Australia as we are fully metric here. Thanks for the info! Chris.

Dumping any waste into the sea is not good for the environment.
The grey water should be treated to remove the chemicals.
It’s a pity more isn’t done to remove chemicals and micro plastics from water that goes into the ocean.

I agree. It’s a shame. I love ships but feel guilty.

Good to know care is taken on ships to protect the environment
Where does the semen go?
Hi Chris! I am such a big fan of the channel, I was wondering if you would be on the Pacific Encounter in October? Love your videos
