I was listening to Raf on ABC Melbourne just now, he had an interview with a CBS journo who went on this very vessel last year. Apparently anyone who goes on it has to have a special diet for a few days before to minimise the need for using the toilet on board, which is basically a piss bottle and ziplock bags for anything bigger. The 'toilet' is behind a modesty curtain and they turn the music up to cover any noises. Passengers are not allowed to bring any extra food or drink onboard :0/
It sounds like Colonoscopy prep. Which is done so that your bowels don't explode due to a gas build up during the operation.
