I think once at a certain point offshore, one onlyhas to have a macerator to offload the waste. I know the boat I was on actually treats the water to drinkable before turningit back to the ocean.
I would declare this an emergency and if brought to task, pay the fine.
I'm sure there will be some innovative solutions developed to prevent the PR of "bags".
Despite this, I'd take a free cruise to anywhere warm RIGHT NOW!
What if this had been a nude cruise --- that would have doubled the coverage
I don't know, it's one thing to macerate and dump a 15 gallon holding tank far enough off shore but when you are talking about what 3,000 people would generate I'm not sure there's a way to justify it dumping all that. There may well be some innovative solutions that come out of this but for now the bags serve their purpose when needed and I think most people would be able to handle it if they had a situation where using them was necessary. Hopefully nothing like this will happen again anytime soon! I'm happy everyone is finally back on land and wish them the best.
