P&O sells its cruises on the promise of a COVID safe environment. What they appear to be saying here, assuming that this is genuine, is that it’s safe only if you make it safe. Though having said that, you’re far more likely to contract the virus by breathing it in because of poor ventilation than touching a surface, and that’s much more difficult and expensive to deal with. Harry I have just rescued the E-mail, and actually read it! it was direct from Cruise Critic, dated 9th December and the article and advise was from the correspondent called the INSIDER!

More a case of P&O not being prepared to provide sufficient staff to meet the necessary health standards. As per Mercury7289 update, the email was not sent by P&O, was nothing whatsoever to do with P&O or any other cruise line. I received (and deleted) the same email from CruiseCritic, which assumes we want to spend our time sanitising everything "so we can relax". 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, whilst cleaning surfaces is good practice, it is of little use in reducing the spread of Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought P&O had actually installed higher quality Hepa filters to reduce the possible spread via the aircon? I felt sure I had quoted Harry's post about aircon for my reply, if so yet another quirk of the CC IT system. Maybe they should spend more time sorting that out, rather than trying to sanitize our posts! Edited December 10, 2021 by terrierjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why aren't the cabins equipped with soft close doors and drawers as standard ? I agree. We always seem to end up next door to passengers who are incapable of remembering where they have put everything and seem to open and close every single drawer and cupboard in the cabin every time that they need something. 🙄 Edited December 10, 2021 by Selbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So really if we were going now ... if flying the aircraft had been treated and they specifically say don’t wipe it With your own wipes ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep they say that but when you watch the aircraft come in and 10 minutes later your boarding the same aircraft that passengers have just come off I’m using my clinell wipes to wipe down everything even seat belts , I use the same as the hospital uses and have done for years 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
