It’s not killjoy to remind you that the biggest bummer on cruises is getting sick. I support everything you might do to have a great time. I worked on RCCL Jewel of the Seas for ten total months. Yes, Celebrity is sold as upscale from Royal Caribbean. It’s 5=10% better. BFD.
The fact of the matter is that when you use the handrails to steady yourself as you walk around the ship, you become at some level intimate with the bathroom habits of perhaps 5000 other people. Sorry if that is gross. The proof? When there are Novo outbreaks on ships, the crew break out the alcohol and bleach and wipe down the handrails.
There are multiple bathrooms on every level of the ship, all over the place. If you are traipsing around the ship and just wandering around, do yourself the biggest favor you can, and wash your hands in hot water every hour or so.
Trust me. And have fun!
I have a great immune system so I’m not worried. BTW, it is recommend that young children have pets because it helps them develop good immune systems for later in life. That is why I am glad we had a pet dog (actually 2 pet dogs) when I was very young. They helped to develop my immune system. Also if I feel a cold coming on I either pick up a few containers of chicken soup from Trader Joe’s or just make it myself. That ALWAY works.
