I was on a ship travelling from the United States to Brazil.The cabin I was in had a very luxurious bathroom but it had no windows.Only a door leading to the interior of the ship.I had no compass or any other type of navigational instruments with me.I only had the normal luggage one would take on a cruise.Yet,even with not being able to see outside,I was able to determine when we crossed the Equator.How was I able to do this?

By the initiation ceremony while crossing the equator for the first time on a ship.

The water in the bathtub drain swirled the other way. Toilets can be designed to swirl the water backwards. We had one that did. Just depends on which way the holes face.
Otherwise, I'd say the captain came on the intercom, telling everyone they were crossing the Equator. They like to do things like that. Makes 'em feel important.

If you're going to invoke the Coriolis Effect on the direction of rotation of draining water you should know that its a myth.
