Seasoning food is one thing; medicated passengers is another.

That's just a ridiculous allegation. Medicating passengers, good grief... I suppose the people who DO get seasick, or get other ailments, and there are those arent there?, are the people where the 'medication' doesn't work?, or are they obstaining from food, or, are they the 'control group'... Geez I know x-files just came out, but give me a break!

When profit becomes your diety, all things suffer.

Consider this: Isn't profit the primary goal for any company, particularly those that answer to shareholders? Not that that is always the best thing, but, it all comes down to 'the bottom line' eventually.

I agree that Celebrity has a real issue with maintenance and does not keep their ships up to standards one would expect for the price point and the "Premium" label they tout.

I don't agree with that. I havent found the ships to be in such disrepair as is widely reported. In addition, I know I see ongoing maintenance taking place during a cruise. In my 3 most recent epxeriences on 2 different Celebrity ships (Constellation, Mercury). I would not say the ships are falling apart as some may claim.

DARN! those klingons!...:D

"That sagging old rust bucket is designed like a garbage scow"

"Laddie... don't you think you should... rephrase that?"

"Yehhhr right, ah shooold. I didn't mean to say the <pick you ship here> should be hauling garbage, I meant to say that it should be hauled away AS garbage!!!!"

Maybe I can somehow figure out how to put the music with my digital cruise videos and pictures.

If you are running XP and have Movie Maker (bundled in with XP), you can easily do this.

If anyone is interested, I also found the song on ITunes, 99 cents ....

I can't help but wonder if anyone who has seen the light has also heard voices calling out for 'carol anne' to 'come to the light carol anne!'

Galley water (drainage) along with drainage from sinks, and showers, is technically 'grey water'.

Black water is toilet (sewage).

They do not mix the two. I'm sure seabee was pulling our leg (to some extent).

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Seabee:

This has been observed before and adequately explained as follows: The water used in the "black water" system on board the M class ships utilizes the same pipes as the fresh water in the galley; however, at night, the pipes must be cleaned in order to safely re-use the pipes for delivery of the fresh water to the galley. In order to properly disinfect the pipes, am ultra violet light is used. The glow you are observing is actually the disinfection process underway. I'm an engineer and you must trust me on this.

Ok, I might buy the ultraviolet light thing. But, fresh water and black water travelling through the same pipes?? I don't think so (but i could be wrong). I would think the black water piping (waste disposal) would be different from fresh water delivery>?!
