workingtocruise-59 Posted March 6, 2018 Author #26 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I don't know what lines you have cruised except for one, but I don't remember ever having anything other than some type of plastic in the buffet. On most lines the buffet is near the pool and to not have plastic would be pretty stupid in my opinion. Azamara, Oceania & Silversea... but, as DarkJedi posted, these cruise lines have few(er) children onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted March 6, 2018 #27 Share Posted March 6, 2018 LOL....I can't fathom why this would matter much less to create a post about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingtocruise-59 Posted March 6, 2018 Author #28 Share Posted March 6, 2018 LOL....I can't fathom why this would matter much less to create a post about it. It doesn't matter ..... I was just enquiring as I had never come across this on my previous cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I looked up and learned what melamine was, how it is made, and what other uses it has. So if nothing else it has been educational for me.

And I have learned many things from the posts. I have read that melamine scratches easily, is hard to disinfect /clean and is mostly for "institutional" usage... This will be my first experience of NCL and so some things are "unfamiliar" to me... I am sorry to have to ask all these questions...

Got the exact opposite on disinfecting and cleaning. Since it handles much higher temperatures it can be cleaned and disinfected easier. Plastic has a low enough melting point that Hep A can actually survive normal cleaning. Which is why you should always use a straw when using reusable plastic glasses in public.

I should have added mass marketed. Yes,some of the upscale lines handle things differently but I wasn't thinking straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted March 7, 2018 #33 Share Posted March 7, 2018 LOL....I can't fathom why this would matter much less to create a post about it. I totally agree. OP said wasn't an issue, just curious, but obviously it is an issue to her.:p:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
