LOL! Joyce, especially if you were the scrub or surgical nurse!!! I
remember those days and those horribly hard and stiff bristled brushes we
had to use that made our arms and elbows raw! ;-)
Kathy, I always carry a small bottle of Purell in my purse and bring Lysol
wipes..We wipe down the cabin, especially door knobs, phone, frequently
handled surfaces and the bathroom with the Lysol wipes and use Purell before
eating in the dining room..Also before getting the food in the buffet line
and afterwards, before consuming it, since we had handled all those ladles
and serving spoons...I always wash my hands well with soap and water every
chance that I get, especially after being in the casino. Practice good hand
washing with soap and hot water often and Purell in between and you should
be fine. Hand rails and elevator buttons are also petri dishes!
Have a wonderful and healthy cruise!
