martinchem Posted March 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Wouldn't it be nice if Carnival brought back the ship portrait placemats, I really don't like having my silverware directly on the tables when I know they are cleaned with a dirty rag. With the placemat you have a healthier and more attractive setting and a great souvenir too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare stevenr597 Posted March 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The Carnival Placemats which would be signed by the waiter at the end of the cruise was a nice touch that Carnival provided. In a way it said thanks for coming on our ship by your waiter and the cruise. When we returned home, we would cover the paper placemats with plastic and use them for dining. It is a shame that Carnival discontinued this practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny1 Posted March 11, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Maybe the issue could be pushed about the unsanitary issue of the table being wiped with used cloths, or maybe take your own placemats and see what reaction you get with it..You would hope that Carnival would put sanitary conditions on the top of the list but ya never know..:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted March 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 11, 2014 We never used our watercolor placemats for dinner. We were handed them the last night after we finished. Are there other "placemats" you are referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there other "placemats" you are referring to? Our experience as well. Never saw them before the last night at the end of the meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mere08 Posted March 12, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'd rather have bare table than paper placemats. If I want to be that casual, I'll eat in the buffet. Cloth placemats would be nice, but would probably defeat the reason they took away the cloth tablecloths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the placemat you have a healthier and more attractive setting and a great souvenir too!! They were never a placemat vs. tablecloth item. They were given out (not used) as a souvenir after dinner on the last night. And as for the tables being cleaned with a dirty rag....I'm very sure that Carnival is taking that into consideration and that the they are changed repeatedly, and tested during inspection.

Linerguy Posted March 12, 2014 #14 Share Posted March 12, 2014 What's unsanitary is the rotting flesh of the dead tablecloth horse that's been beaten to death....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
