OCruisers Posted July 17, 2014 #18 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ditto. :) Thanks, Jeannie! Gosh, it's not like we're hiding them ... just putting them away from flushing toilets and such. :) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising_family Posted July 17, 2014 #19 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'd never thought about that though I can understand why people do. Unless I'm mistaken the toilet lids in the cabins must be down to access the flush button. Not sure if that's on all ships though. I also try not to be overly cautious about germs as I also agree that exposure does help build immune system. After my first bout of illness because of this will probably change my view.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kartgv Posted July 17, 2014 #21 Share Posted July 17, 2014 We have battery powered toothbrushes and found little snap-on plastic covers in our pharmacy in the section where they sell travel items. Had to snip out a little larger opening, but it was easy to do. I'm not too worried about the flushing toilet, as someone said the lid must be down, but do think about cleaning products that our room steward might be spraying in the bathroom, or even coughing or sneezing. The precaution is simple, cheap, and easy, so why not do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm a nice person and I can't imagine that he would even think about it. Our toothbrushes are left out neatly beside our other bathroom stuff.
