Flushing wipes down the toilet on a cruise ship is generally not recommended and can lead to plumbing issues. Unlike toilet paper, which disintegrates quickly in water, flushable wipes are designed to be more durable and may not break down as easily in the ship's plumbing system. This can cause blockages and damage to the pipes over time.
Cruise ships have specific guidelines and regulations regarding what can and cannot be flushed down the toilet. Most cruise lines explicitly prohibit flushing anything other than toilet paper to avoid plumbing problems and ensure the smooth operation of the ship's waste management system. Flushing flushable wipes or other non-biodegradable items can result in fines or additional charges for passengers.
