brigittetom Posted November 29, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I observed this on our last Jewel cruise and I can't believe that no one else has a problem with this. Every day in the Windjammer I noticed people using the tongs and tossing them back onto the trays. Never just leaning them as is normally the custom, just tossing the tongs onto or into whatever dish. Obviously the next person in line gets to fish out the tongs. With all the concern about viruses, shouldn't this be a concern??? My question is simply, WHERE WERE THESE PEOPLE RAISED??? The cruiselines work really hard to avoid contamination. Why can't the passengers put in a little effort to comply?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightsluvr Posted November 29, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 29, 2007 My question is simply, WHERE WERE THESE PEOPLE RAISED??? One possible answer... they may have been raised in a $3/day boarding house... (or they just act that way) LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysgrandma Posted November 29, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 29, 2007 At least they were using tongs. I've seen too many to count that use their bare hands to pick up cookies, cake and sandwiches. EEWWWW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thing2 Posted November 29, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 29, 2007 At least they were using tongs. I've seen too many to count that use their bare hands to pick up cookies, cake and sandwiches.

shirleygr Posted November 29, 2007 #10 Share Posted November 29, 2007 At least they were using tongs. I've seen too many to count that use their bare hands to pick up cookies, cake and sandwiches. EEWWWW! I saw someone pick up 5 or 6 cookies from the tray in the Windjammer on my last cruise. I got a crew member and insisted it be removed. :mad: There is no excuse for that kind of ignorance in this day and age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence22 Posted November 29, 2007 #11 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Not to mention countless number of people who don't wash their hands when they use the bathroom! What is worse is when a man leaves the urinal and goes straight to the hand drying machine. I have witnessed this several times!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise_lover Posted November 29, 2007 #12 Share Posted November 29, 2007 That is why I liked sailing on NCL this past January. No one served themselves when going through the buffet line. They had servers, wearing gloves and using tongs that served everyone. And if you felt that the portion they gave you was too small all you had to do was ask for another serving and they glady gave you more. From some of the posts I've read on different subjects, here at Cruise Critic, my first trip on Royal Caribbean should be an interesting one.

Dr_DNA Posted November 29, 2007 #18 Share Posted November 29, 2007 OK. I've got one that really tops all of these. It will make your stomach curl so STOP if you don't want that to happen. Note that this didn't take place on a cruise ship (it could have), but happened instead at a buffet with self serve ice cream. A lady right in front of me scopped ice cream out, licked the ball on the scoop, and tossed the scoop of ice cream back into the ice cream container. I was there with my tounge hanging out and when I finally said something to the effect "I can't believe you just did that," she shrugged her shoulders and said that it was bad and walked away. The resteraunt threw out the container but I'm still dumfounded to this day! It is truly unfortunate that many in today's society live in a "me, me, me, ..." world.

CruisenChic Posted November 29, 2007 #21 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I don't do buffets anywhere. It is bad enough that the resturant servers may not be as clean as I would like, I know the general public is not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG :eek: - some people have ABSOLUTELY NO COMMON SENSE!!!! :mad: It's almost as bad as this kid at walmart with his head tipped upside down and his mouth wrapped around the nossel of the selfserve icy machine as the "mother" (I use that term loosely!) nudges her hubby, points at her son and laughs!!! :rolleyes: I wanted to walk up to them and tell them their pieces of straw were missing from their teeth!! :p Geeesshhhh DANG HILLBILLIES!!!!

LEESRE Posted November 29, 2007 #24 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Also how many do you see filling water bottles from the wter fountains many many people. Thye do not realise that they have had their mouths round the neck of the bottle so all their germs go on the water fountain. Also people filling their bottles when the juice is around at breakfast too mean to purchase any during the day. We also saw a lady, I will call her that, who put her finger in the sauce, she said she wanted to see what it tasted like before she put it on her salad. Said yes thats nice and immediately put her finger in the other sauce to taste that. I agree about the ashing of hands the number of men that do not do this once they have used the toilet just amazes me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
