Shellbelle28 Posted September 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Looking forward to a relaxing cruise. The aroma of the ship is... interesting. Like sewage. Hoping it won't smell like that once we are moving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping it won't smell like that once we are moving? The “sewage” smell is the exhaust coming from the funnels. It actually smells more like burning garbage. If there was a sewage smell your steward would be horrified. You won’t always be right in line with the ship’s exhaust. Enjoy the hours of fresh sea air when you can have them. But the stink from those things is just intrinsic to cruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll pour vinegar down the drain I agree. If this smell is strong, is likely coming from your bathroom or a bathroom close by. I'm assuming none of the carpet in the area is wet. Tell your steward. Sometimes it's an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just our room. All over the ship. Seems to be better now we're moving. Fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted September 29, 2022 #15 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Enjoy your cruise on the Sun. If suspecting a problem with the plumbing system ... either speak to your steward and/or dial 00 to inform guest services, as they will dispatch a trained crew member to look into it (on embarkation day, however, they are often busy with the ship's overall mechancial & related sub-system, give them time to respond.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the odor has persisted. The entire aft stairwell/elevator lobby smells constantly with a smell like a landfill. The cabins aft of that also have it. It isn't coming from the plumbing in our room though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted October 3, 2022 #22 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Didn't they run a Q&A session on how to run a cruise ship during the week, as that would be a good time to ask the bridge and/or engineering department team on what the smell is all about ... since we can't sense, smell or really help with an answer. Guest services might not know but someone on duty wearing one of those white overall ... usually have a pretty good idea, especially since the entire fleet had their HVAC systems and filtration upgraded as part of the enhanced airborne response due to Covid-19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
