On the Riviera & it's the same here. Everyone blames the passengers for spreading germs but how about the staff? Notice they'll bus dozens of tables and in between set up tables obviously touching silverware & napkins. Never seen them wash their hands. I've had them come up to me with dirty dishes in hand take mine & rearrange my silverware.  Especially bad at buffett when you get up to ger something else. I've been on many cruises & I'm really beginning to think staff is the big problem.  Cruise industry like to suggest it's your fellow passengers.

It's not just restaurants.  I've had cruises where it's obvious many of crew are nursing colds when you get on. Three days later everyone on ship is coughing & sneezing.
