Crew Members Are ALWAYS Washing Their Hands
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses the importance and frequency of handwashing for both crew members and guests while traveling on cruise ships. They note that on certain cruise lines, handwashing is a highly regulated process where staff members monitor stations to ensure compliance before anyone enters a buffet. The creator references a specific character known as Washiwashi, who uses song and dance to remind passengers to clean their hands before meals. This practice is presented as a necessary precaution, particularly in buffet settings where many people touch the same surfaces. However, the creator observes a significant difference in hygiene standards while sailing on a different cruise line. On this current ship, the creator notes a lack of handwashing stations and a low rate of compliance among passengers. Based on personal observation, the creator reports that only a very small fraction of people entering the buffet area utilize the available sinks. The video concludes by noting that the buffet is the only free amenity available on this particular cruise.

Creator's Key Takeaways
Crew members have to wash their hands constantly when they're working on a cruise ship.
You can't even get into the buffet without passing a handwashing station and somebody standing there telling you to wash your hands.
I watched at least 100 people walk into the buffet. Two people wash their hands out of 100.
Kind of gross.
