The last cruise we were on they had those hand sanitizers everywhere.

That can help if people use them.

IMO, the biggest problem is in the buffet where people are handling the spoons and such to serve themselves food.

What I do is to sanitize my hand before I go through the buffet and then again after I get my food, before I eat. It is a little hassle. But I did not catch any sort of cold or other ailment on our last cruise.

One other thing. This is gross. But I suspect it happens more people realize.

I had to go to the restroom just outside the buffet, before my wife and I enter the dining area.

Just as I was walking in to the restroom some guy exited the commode stall, no hand wash no nothing and walked out. I thought to myself.... I hope that a##hole is not going to the buffet.

Just so you know, that guy looked to be well into his 60s. I guess he learned nothing about basic hygiene in life. Some people are just selfish idiots!
