Yes Princess and Carnival definitely have not learned any sanitation lessons. Carnival is much worse. NCL simply doesn't let you near the buffet without sanitizeing. I'm not as worried about getting Covid as I am Norovirus. Your only hope is to sanitize your hands after the buffet and before you eat. Those people who don't wash their hands after using the toilet don't wash their hands before the buffet either.

You can’t make folks wash their nasty hands although it would be nice. Saw a few folks walk by the wash station myself. The ship is still understaffed and lots of new staff learning their jobs. Still enjoyed the cruise.
