Costa Cruises is cautioning guests against taking buffet food to their cabins, imposing a €60 cleaning fee for those who do. The cruise line emphasizes that this policy is to ensure guest safety and well-being. The warning has been reinforced on some specific sailings as a deterrent measure.
According to a Costa Cruises spokesperson, the intent is to uphold a high-quality and enjoyable experience for all passengers. Only room service staff, trained in sanitation and hygiene, can transport and deliver food to cabins. The company insists that food should only be eaten in designated dining areas.
Costa Cruises, a part of Carnival Corporation, operates cruises through regions such as the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and South America. The policy has sparked discussions among travelers. Some support the rule, agreeing that carrying food from the buffet to cabins can lead to unsightly hallways cluttered with plates and cups. Others argue for the convenience of eating in their cabins, especially when making breakfast for a loved one or enjoying meals on a private balcony.
The cruise line maintains that the policy is necessary to maintain sanitation standards and encourages responsible behavior among guests. Despite mixed reactions, Costa Cruises continues to prioritize the safety and satisfaction of its passengers.
