Believe it or not, on most ships (Federally regulated, that is) the black and grey water systems and regulations are more stringent than your cities or towns. Our sewage is directed to settling tanks, macerated, settled again and then directed through an ultraviolet centrifuge which kills everything. What is left over can be pumped overboard, but only in amounts over 15 parts per million.
My bathroom on my ship now is just like yours at home; I've got a sink, toilet and shower in a small room adjoining my bedroom. Most officers have their own suite; most unlicensed crew has to share, 1 bathroom to every 2 or 3 crew.
