No Hugs or Handshakes

So had interesting conversation with nurse who is ANTI any physical contact such as handshaking, hugs, and even fist bumps...especially on a cruise with your newest 3000 close friends... I'm not much of a germaphobia (I use 5 hr rule...if it's been on the ground for five hours and the dog hasn't licked it, good to go) BUT, there is probably something to be said ... What say you?

Colds spread quickly on ships so be careful who you shake hands or hug on board.

Benjamin Franklin ; the Man, the Myth, the Mystery. Big Smile

To quote Mr Robinson "Well Benjamin, you'll excuse me if I don't shake your hand" Extra points if you know what movie it was from........ hint, that movie introduced the Alpha Romeo spider to the US market.

I love hugs.

Guess you can go around the ship with rubber gloves. Take a box of them with you. Change your gloves each time you shake hands. Happy

I'm a hugger with those I know well, handshaker if personally introduced, otherwise it's a hi and a smile.

Actually, we've pretty much stayed on topic.

Lol I knew this would go amuck ...

Why would you lay on the ground for 5 hours just to get a hug?
