Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. That whole story is clickbait. Its no worse then any other year. Not an issue at CC. Costa Maya on the other hand is always full of it.
  2. top # 1 answer on the board.....SUSHI. Not only bacteria, but parasites, Thats why all sushi sold in the USA must be frozen first, to kill all the parasites.
  3. Thats a cool setup. My line of thinking was because of the massive steel in between floors, the signals are pretty much isolated anyway, so why not break it up. But i see your point.
  4. Guess and experience. I designed and installed my resorts wifi network. I have 600 users, they have 10,000 users on a metal ship. If i were designing it i would have one for every floor. I do not know but i am guessing also they have multiple wan connections as i do to split it up. I have not personally worked with starlink so i dont know how that works, but it seems is would be easy to have 5 different steams.
  5. Latency on the lan Probably due to insufficient upload.
  6. Too many users for the installed equipment. Latency sucks.
  7. Wow what a pass the buck. The ta makes little to no $. I never use them on comp bookings. Just complicates things. And yes whatever you are sailing on when you book NC will be in the computer. You have to tell them to take it out.
  8. This is a major problem that rccl needs to address. You can book all you want in advance on day 1 of opening which isnt even clear. Otherwise you can try once onboard for the scraps and if you are savvy or are willing to accept obstructed view you can do it onboard. Why not let everyone book 2 shows and fight the rest out onboard. Why reward the bored who are on the computer all day?
  9. I researched the cdc vessel plan and the usph requirements and they are the same as local. Anyway that is all out the window as every pool and spa has a designed bathing load. In fact the frequency of water changes is calculated by the number of USERS. On a ship this is insane. Nowhere does the number of users approach that of on a ship. in addition the design bathing load is not enforced. Therefore everything else is out the window. Once i started researching this topic, in addition to my personal illness from a ships hot tub, i was unaware of the number of Illnesses that can be and are contracted in any public hot tub anywhere. Finally, i am aware thatpeople get sick everywhere from a variery of avoidable behaviors, My experienced has ruined my love for hot tubs. I could not even sit in there without being grossed out. So to each their own. The odds are low, but they are there. Everyone individually needs to figure out if its worth it to them. Anyway thanks for your input, I dont mean to be adversarial, I just have a strong opinion and training and experience in this area. I am very thankful we have such a knowledgeable individual here on ships.
  10. The thing is most people i talk to on ships didnt pay a thin dime for their cruise. We have not paid doe the last 8 cruises. They are losing money on us.
  11. The funny thing is, most people would never consider bathing in a bath tub that just one individual had already used, maybe even if its your spouse or family. But they will readily jump into a hot tub, drink in hand, smiling while they say hello to the eight other questionable people that have been in there for hours.
  12. I understand completely what you are saying. I have also had many cruise ship illnesses as well. But this topic is about the hot tubs. what should be done to make them safer…..well its all technology. Maybe the newer ships have or will have it. Maybe restrict to 6 people at a time would help too. since i have training and expertise in this area i am sharing what i know with those who do not. Its my opinion and i do not know it all. i will test for my own opinion and to post the results here good or bad. I will get cups of water indiscriminately from the tubs and do the testing in my room. trust me, the crew already knows exactly what they are experiencing. I dont need to tell them anything.
  13. So hot tubs on ships are safe but not on land, that are not open 16 hours a day? There is no situation that i can think of where the bathing loads even come close to what i see on ships. Plus the number of small children. It stands to reason a higher metric would apply vs land. Anyway i am living proof that they are NOT always safe. I’ll bring my test kits on the next one and post what i find. i am a certified pool operator and have many years of experience taking care of my resorts large overcrowded pool. If you talk to my cpo instructor, who is one of the most knowlegeable people in the united states on aquatics and he will give you an earful. The simple fact is they are not safe 100% of the time on land or sea. But i am quite sure worse at sea due to the absolutely extreme bathing loads in the tubs.
  14. Most of these people made or inherited alot of money and are old and some have no kids to leave it to.
  15. Rashes are very common, if you use bromine instead, it will cut down on that. Its a better solution for a personal hot tub imo.
