Rare lyndarra Posted August 7, 2016 #76 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Yeh, you're right, they do indeed. I'd forgotten about those. We're just back from our Alaskan cruise on X Solostice and they have the cloth towels and also auto doors to the washrooms but they are slow to react. No Noro on board. We didn't notice anyone using knuckles or elbows to operate the elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted August 7, 2016 #77 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I noticed on Princess last year, the toilet doors were left open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted August 7, 2016 #78 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Yeah me too. I thought it was a nice touch. Virtually no where gives you hand towels any more. Last place I went that still does it was The Newcastle Club and the Australian Club. I suspect their equivalents in other cities may too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally if I'm at a hotel it's as a guest so use the bathroom in my room. Some resorts around here do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Big_M Posted August 8, 2016 #85 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Not observing their cabin hygiene habits, but no doubt observing their hygiene habits at the public conveniences. Where you'd expect people to be a bit more respectful and do the right thing, rather than behind closed doors where nobody sees them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted August 8, 2016 #86 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Having said that you are aware that those hand dryers in public bathrooms are extremely unhygienic? Basically those machines suck up all the urine and excrement vapour and dissipate it in a nice warm patch all over your hands. Not to mention opening the door when you leave with your hand negates the purpose of washing them to start with. Bit of a furphy there. Any "vapours" are negligible, and in existence that you're breathing in throughout the bathroom anyway. So by definition can't be any less hygienic than the rest of the environment. And for that matter those same "vapours" will linger over those paper towels... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The family just say I'm a nutter, always thought it was because I was good at nutting out problems, maybe it's because I like Cashews, perhaps I should start a poll and see what CCers think.;):p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
