Rare May B Posted March 24, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Mr B thinks this is too long to wait. He reported two empty Purell dispensers to Guest Services at 7:50 am. At 8:30, neither of the two had been refilled. He thinks this is too long to wait, especially b/c our sailing follows one where Noro and Covid were prevalent, so prevalent that the ship was visited by CDC and underwent a thorough, and I mean super duper thorough, cleaning before we could board. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PTC DAWG Posted March 24, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2023 This wouldn’t concern me at all…if it did, plenty of washroom around. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeRick Posted March 24, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2023 We found the Purell dispensers often empty on our most recent sailing like at the entrance to the OVC for example. But there was always a staff member there with a squirt bottle for Purell when you entered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean to say that DH did not bring his own Purell just in case??? In health and bon voyage 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturngrl Posted March 24, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I bring my own hand sanitizer in case the ones on the ship aren't working. Gives me peace of mind. Happy sailing! 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chamima Posted March 24, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 24, 2023 We had a small bottle of hand sanitizer in our cabin bathroom when we boarded. Couldn't he just use that? (Or wash hands in the closest bathroom) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStarStateCruiser Posted March 24, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 24, 2023 If you have to wait more than 40 minutes for X to pick up the phone for a question about a reservation, I can't imagine them being able to refill a hand sanitizer dispenser in a shorter amount of time. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted March 24, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 24, 2023 My wife always brings her own but we got off Reflection last week and I don't remember someone NOT being outside the buffet with a squirt bottle in addition to the dispensers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homosassa Posted March 24, 2023 #11 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Skip the hand sanitizer (it only moves the surface dirt around on your hands) and use the rest room that are conveniently located with hot water and soap. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the crew on board are usually MUCH more responsive than reservations. The real answer is we don’t live in a perfect world. What we CAN control is our response to that world. Sadly, Mr B has been more grumpy lately. I’ll have to deal with it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dispensers don't weigh much. Have Mr. B lift it up and carry it to guest services. I'm sure they will fill it quickly. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
