Description
Thank you for stopping for a closer look. Any and all comments are welcome and appreciated.
I did a tour of the inner workings of the ship. The galley (kitchen) was a very impressive site. This shot shows just the prep line, they make 4000 gourmet meals 3 times a day here. The organization involved was awesome. The cleanliness was even more astonishing. These folks work long hours and do fantastic work to help keep the guests pampered to the limit.
The old days of dumping your waste overboard are long gone. The amount of waste (including human waste) created on a ship this large is gigantic, but the new systems they have for processing it ensure there is virtually nothing dumped into the ocean that is not totally safe. With solids, anything that can be recycled like plastics paper and so on are sorted, put into a giant crusher and loaded as securely tied bundles onto pallets to be taken ashore at the next port. Food (including bones) gets processed down to where it is pure liquid and that gets sent over the side as long as they are 50 miles from shore, there is nothing there that isnt edible for the fish. liquids including bilge water and toilets and showers and such goes thru a 7 stage process that in the end has it cleaner than the sea water then it is expelled over the side. solid waste that isnt able to be recycled such as soild toilet waste goes into a large incinerater and in the end there is a small bucket that gets loaded ashore, the exhaust from the incinerator even has filters on it to avoid any toxic fumes from escaping.
The end result of all that is these ship builders have created floating cities that have almost totally eliminated the impact they have on their environment. If land cities could follow simular processes the world pollution would be something for the history books.

Nice capture Jim, this really is a magnificent looking galley. It was great that they allowed you to take photographs of areas like this one

I have to admit quality and quantity of the food on the Cruise we were on was staggering, gained 20 lbs in 10 days. Thing is though, Shipbuilders have been implementing those standards only the last 10-20 years and absolutely not all ships are created like that. No offense to the Navies of the world but they dump tons of garbage in the Oceans everyday and implementing those processes on a scale 10 to 100 times for medium to large Cities would make Property Taxes skyrocket. Saving the Planet starts with the individual, Don't buy the Crap you just end up throwing away, Recycle and I don't mean just throw it in the Trash. Peace

"If land cities could follow similar processes the world pollution would be something for the history books". My thoughts exactly Jim!... Now as far as the kitchen image....Like my 1st thought when you mentioned about taking a tour of the inner ship....Why did I not assume the kitchen was going to be on this tour.......rofl.. Though it's nice to actually see the inner workings and how unbelievably clean this kitchen appears to be from your capture.Thanks for sharing for those like myself that will only ever see this kinda place through pictures as a cruise is something I could only ever dream of taking....(sigh)...

Brilliant info! Now they just need to see to the fuel..the change to diesel could see cruise fares rocket so they are very reluctant.

awesome capture jim, love your commentary to the hilt, if only the cities could follow such processes, the environment would surely be healthier! i was in the navy too and agree with lenord!:)*5

a nephew that works for Norwegian usually works long hours 10 to 12 hours daily, but after hours he simply repairs the computers from his room. his last stint in the Caribbean he was doing extra duty like checking passengers on and off in ports because of lack of personnel. he has a sweet deal, but I think I would be claustrophobic. his room is not much more than a closet down deep in the ship thanks for sharing this Jim, as it is very interesting

Now that is a very impressive kitchen you have captured and I like the idea of the ship doing everything it can to leave a very small footprint. It makes for great reading.

Great shot!!

Beautiful capture, what a big kitchen, my father always dreamed about such ones, the U-Boot kitchen's have always been just such tiny ones - Lol!
