How do you define "fraudulent"? Obviously not made a claim because they had noro and considered the cruise company to be liable but was unsuccessful in that claim because the cruise company successfully argued their hygiene procedures were satisfactory, because you have said not that. So what do you mean by "fraudulent"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a germy fingerprint on the salt cellar you have now successfully spread to the whole salt cellar, the pepper pot and the cutlery! It's worked so far.

We don't use salt or pepper, so no problem for us there, and so far we have not gone down with noro, maybe we have been lucky, or possibly our less fastidious life style ensures our immune system is operating at peak performance. On Arvia at Easter the cutlery in the buffet wasn't wrapped in a napkin. It was, help yourself from the cutlery tray and take a napkin from the pile.

Use before eating, to get an anti-viral & anti-bacterial effect, then tuck the wipe back into the pouch, to use again after you’ve eaten, or possibly between courses, if you make a second trip to the buffet Just my experience but I’ve never had a gastro infection on a cruise. I keep some in my pocket & dog-walking bag, and always use them if we stop for coffee & cake during a walk when I’ve tidied up after poochie Thats the same ones we use while out and about and in the buffet, the same ones are used in the hospitals and their larger packets ( Green ones) to wipe down the cabin before I start unpacking, at present we have never caught the sickness 🤞 never will hopefully, we are on Ventura soon for 35 nights I’m sure there be some outbreaks then . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted September 7 #80 Share Posted September 7 Well, I must have been very lucky or have a strong constitution. I have never caught any of these bugs on a ship and I don't spend my time santising this and that any more than I do at home. No I don't walk round the cabin with an antibac wipe either. I mean if you do this, you must do it everywhere, all the time. It just isn't feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, our immune systems were really good. What we did get was some nasty tropical stomach bugs. One of mine had to be sent to the School of Tropical Medicine before they found out what it was!! All this anti baccing that people do at home has been proven not to help a child's immunity. You need to be exposed to bugs to develop an immune system. They say having a dog in the home is very good for kids. Edited September 8 by jeanlyon 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born and lived on a farm and have never had foot and mouth, scrapie, mastitis or swine flu so there must be summat in it. However it is no excuse for dirty scrotes not washing their hands when they have been to the toilet. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn pit there were no toilets or wash basins come to that. Just you and maybe a page of The News Of World and a dudley of water. Upside was it helped them not to bite fingernails 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionboard Posted September 8 #86 Share Posted September 8 Always remember going to the outside toilet in my Aunt's terrace house. Cold, no washbasin, spiders, paper squares on a bit of wire. We knew how to live!! Never complain now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always remember going to the outside toilet in my house, I always looked forward to the cool damp weather then as the squares of paper were softer when they were damp. Much better than the izal bog roll at school. It was much better as tracing paper though, so I guess every cloud has a silver lining. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandparents were fruit merchants so we had the blue tissue wrapping from the oranges on a spike. Nice and soft but left a blue dye. Every time we visited we used to take my granny toilet rolls! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted September 8 #89 Share Posted September 8 Do you know, when you read some of these posts about anti bac anti this and that, you may be wondering how we survived after childhood. I'm sure the same people don't wash their hands now than they ever did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we should look for a no win no fee very personal injury specialist to represent us in a group action historical case against the manufacturers.
