Creator's Key Takeaways

Soap and water is actually more effective against norovirus than hand sanitizer at all.

I avoid the buffet on embarkation day entirely.

Wash your hands before every meal, every single meal.

Don't touch the sneeze guard. Don't reach over other people's plates.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pack multiple small bottles of hand sanitizer for convenience.
✓Use soap and water over sanitizer when possible to fight norovirus.
✓Wash hands before every meal and after touching high-touch surfaces.
✓Avoid the buffet on embarkation day due to crowds and sanitation lag.
✓Use serving utensils at the buffet and avoid touching shared surfaces.
