The toilet tissue on ships is thin due to them using pallet loads of it each week, and to keep cost down. It is not special TP like motor homes or boats, and in reality it needs to not break down easily to ensure the "product" plug can be sucked down the full length of the vacuum piping to the engine room. Makes sense, I was just going by "experience" from our TP with the travel trailer. Plus, kinda thought the system would want it to break down. Have a great evening.

That is, unless you are sitting backwards. Do you approach the commode with your eyes closed? Do you "back-in" from the door? Does your bung orifice make that beeping sound when in reverse? Enquiring minds want to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put them in the garbage can. No sanitary products either. Put in a bag.ask for more bags. nothing flushes except the thin TP tha Carnival has on board. Otherwise your cabin might get flooded!!! lol Just read this? Unknown before the reading? Is that the lol part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply to replying to hurricane0226, who said "you would think that they would read, especially when sitting on the throne." And yes occasionally my "bung orifice" does make that sound, but it has never been described as BEEPING! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since you asked, dead mice/gophers (presents from my dog), tropical fish, last month's jambalaya or any other science experiment found in the back of the fridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted June 5 #37 Share Posted June 5 Consider yourself extremely lucky that you managed to flush a gopher down the toilet without incurring a couple of hundred dollars worth of plumbing bills. San Francisco sanitation workers must love your street. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
