So we should not be allowed to fill water bottles or should RCL put in touchless refill stations?

The idea is that your water bottle/thermos/whatever does not go near the water dispenser.  Anything that touches your mouth should not be near any dispenser whether it’s water/coffee, etc.  Use a new cup or glass when you need a refill anywhere on the ship.  If refilling your personal water container,  use a fresh glass and then pour into your container.  Put the now not needed glass in the area for dirty dishes.  This is a common courtesy not followed by all passengers but a great way not to spread germs whether it be covid or something else.

I don't understand why some people keep mentioning reducing food waste at the buffet over and over again as if it is such a huge problem. Everything about cruising is an indulgence. What about the carbon footprint of cruising. Why focus on the food? There always seems to be plenty to go around.

Oh great....moving the thread to a ‘carbon footprint’ discussion. Next up:  ‘Should smoking be allowed in the casino’.

What are your thoughts on moving the thread from infection control to food waste?

Oh, how wonderful.

 

An endless buffet of food after quarantining on your rear end for 6 months. Our country is doomed.

 

The choice between covid and heart disease is a difficult one for some, I presume?

 

What??? How dumb.   🤔🙄🤐😱🤮

yes, however even those that use a glass to fill, usually reuse it, and water kind of goes all over and makes a mess, perhaps now finally ships will install touchless.  I was thinking perhaps they dont want touchless because then people wont buy water, (I have never bought water on a ship)

Refiling of water bottles from a water dispenser needs to be prohibited, full stop. You can take a clean cup of water and refil your bottle from there.
