Top 5 Cruise Ship Facts


when you think cruise ship
you probably think vacation romance and
all sorts of summer fun Under the Sun or
maybe you just think of the Love Boat
either way this video is about none of
that an hour from now I’ll be surrounded
by seaman sperm whales and seamen full
swallow welcome to watchmojo.com Minh
we’re counting down the five strangest
most fascinating facts we could find
about cruise ships fair warning if you
have no desire to tarnish those pleasant
images we just spoke of hit the back
button on your browser and cruise on
along take it to see mr. Murdock
let’s stretch your legs yes sir number
five cruise ships are popular targets
for pirates I’m sorry
no pirates worth
still a real thing that’s right folks
captain Phillips ain’t the only one
who’s got to be on the lookout for
pirates especially around the Somali
coast look at me sure look at me sure
under captain now on board the average
cruise ship are thousands of tourists
and what does that mean
tourists carry lots of cash for all you
married or engaged lovebirds out there
they’re probably gonna start with that
precious diamond around your ring finger
and that fancy advice with numbers
around your wrist should reel in a few
pennies your regimen me no I’m a rich
man my men taking this off for you
not to worry though it’s precisely for
this reason that most cruise ships have
well-equipped armories high pressure
hoses and sonic weapons that can
permanently damage uninvited parties
outside the ship yes apparently sonic
weapons are a thing number four
cruise ships put up with people’s crap
literally when it comes to the problem
of pollution cruise ships contribute
significantly on multiple fronts in fact
some release the same amount of sulfur
dioxide that over a hundred million cars
can produce from just one day of
operation that doesn’t make you gag get
a load of this
on a standard week-long cruise a single
ship produces an average of between
150,000 and 200,000 gallons of sewage
that is one big pile of so how do
they deal with all this crap the word
dump comes to mind in that they
literally dump all that dump straight
into the waters they so innocently tread
upon also yes this is all perfectly
legal provided that the ships are a
certain distance away from the shore
Louis it is called the poop deck that is
why I pooped there you’re disgusting and
you’re misleading number three many
cruises reportedly use unethical
employment practices whoa a
multi-billion dollar industry is
treating their employees poorly did not
see that coming so what is it unfair
wages little to no benefits no break
times
nope apparently it’s far worse than any
of those from any ships crew members
have been recruited from third world
countries and may have paid as much as
$1,500 for a mere interview some even
charge an additional 1,000 to $2,000 for
airfare and uniforms in essence
prospective workers actually owe money
to the cruise lines and the recruiters
before they’re even guaranteed a job bad
as that sounds it
even worse as new hires are often met
with unrealistic workloads and deducted
wages for unmet quotas you thought your
job sucked if we don’t consider him a
human we just consider it act I think
we’re in the clear like the Flying
Wallendas you know a lot of those guys
died but they never sued anybody number
two
cruise ships have their own wargs cruise
vacations are not always for spring
breakers and honeymooners spring up here
Michael typically the average guest is
more likely to be a grandparent than a
young bachelor bachelorette with longer
trips said to have more elderly
passengers in fact several studies have
even indicated that retiring on a cruise
ship can be more cost effective than
retiring in a home or community that
said when you’re carrying that many wise
and aged souls aboard a vessel
sadly the inevitable happens
necessitating onboard morgues
while many liners try to keep the number
of deaths that occur on their cruises
under apps most ship morgues will
typically have the capacity to hold
between one and three bodies suddenly
haunted ships like the Queen Mary are
beginning to make sense now aren’t they
number one cruise ship disappearances
are frightening ly common wallow would
kill you and you thought that last entry
was creepy evidently the number of
missing people last seen or heard from
aboard a cruise ship is so high that
they’ve come to be accepted as a regular
occurrence
while many of these cases have been
resolved the majority of these
vanishings remain an eerie mystery with
close to 200 disappearances reported
since 2000 this statistically translates
to at least one missing passenger per
month
what’s even more unfortunate is that
since many cruises are hardly regulated
full investigations from their end are
mostly discretionary you shut of a bitch
if I had a gun on a boat I’d shoot you
with all that said maybe you just want
to stick to theme parks for your next
family vacation you’d probably have a
better chance at finding someone if they
got lost still no word on the
disappearance of Lois Griffin housewife
and mother from Quahog who vanished from
a cruise ship six days ago well folks
that’s the news and I am out of here
