Carnival Cruise Line addresses serious viral video issue, making clear situation ‘no joke to us’

The sad truth is that when bad things happen on cruise ships, they tend to attract a lot of attention. However, it wasn’t the norovirus outbreak featured in the latest cruise line documentary series that got people talking this week, but it was Carnival passengers sitting at the buffet using forks in the most disturbing way.

The video everyone is talking about

If you’re a cruise enthusiast, chances are you’ve seen the video about it. This is especially true if the non-cruising people in your life know you are one. cruise lover. After all, this is the kind of person who loves nothing more than sharing stories about the dark side of the industry. However, if you’re somehow still blissfully ignorant… well, google the words “cruise fork video” and you’ll see for yourself.

A man with apparent foot fungus is sitting barefoot in a chair on a patterned rug and scratching his feet. On the floor lay a pair of black slippers—probably their cruiser of choice. Instagram video interface elements and text overlays are visible.

Suffice to say, this video involves the soles of a woman’s feet, a fork, prolonged scratching, and a general feeling of disgust from the viewer. While we are not sharing the video to conceal the identity of the offending party, this is certainly a case where a picture is worth a thousand words.

“Forks are for serving food.”

Considering how viral these videos are, that’s nearly impossible carnival to avoid solving the problem. “Hi Fiesta Cruiser,” the company wrote on its Facebook page. “We can confirm that the fork was used for food and not for foot care. Once we were made aware of the situation, our team quickly addressed the issue with the guest and discontinued use of the utensil.”

A message from Carnival Cruise Line explained that the forks are for eating food, not for any toe-grabbing cruise ships. It reassured guests that the situation was being handled, emphasized hygiene standards, and invited guests aboard with boat and heart emojis.

Their letter continues to play both sides, saying they are taking the issue seriously, although the way they express it is somewhat tongue-in-cheek. The note read: “While this video may cause laughter online, cleanliness and sanitation are no joke for us. Our staff work hard every day to maintain high standards across our entire team.” foot fleet to ensure that all guests enjoy a safe, clean and comfortable vacation. ”

Remember, folks, no one on the cruise is going to judge you for not knowing the difference between a salad fork and a shrimp fork. But don’t worry, there’s no such thing as a crotch… Using a crotch will not only make you judged, but it may help you become popular in the worst possible way.
