Pretty cool. A big water tank for flushing up above, or many smaller ones?

heheh. said to be as stimulating as it is pleasant.

"Photo06 - The Blade-Douche Room - The Latest And Most Novel Form Of The Bath In addition to these there are other apparatus that give needle, spray or "bulb" effects. The "blade douche" can be directed on any portion of the body desired, and it is said to be as stimulating as it is pleasant. There are slight corrugations on the slab that are not seen in the picture that allow of the descending water readily passing away and so not causing discomfort to the bather."

Put several thousand passengers plus crew on a single cruise ship and offer buffet dining where passengers help themselves to food and food while supposedly monitored still sets out in the open. Add to that miles of surfaces like handrails that are touched by everybody. You have all the makings of a floating epidemic.
