Costa Cruises, a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, is warning guests against bringing buffet food to their cabins, threatening a €60 cleaning fee, nearly $70. Reported by Crew Center, the policy aims to prevent food from being taken out of designated dining areas.
According to Costa Cruises, guest safety and well-being are paramount. The policy, shared on specific sailings, serves as a preventive measure to promote responsible behavior onboard.
The cruise line emphasizes that only trained room service staff can deliver food to guest cabins, ensuring sanitation and hygiene standards. Guests are encouraged to consume food in designated dining areas only.
Costa Cruises offers itineraries in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and South America. The policy has sparked debate on social media, with some supporting the rule to prevent mess in hallways, while others prefer eating in their cabins.
Comments on social media range from support for maintaining cleanliness to criticisms of imposing charges, expressing varied opinions about onboard dining practices.
Costa Cruises aims to uphold guest safety and enjoyment through these reinforced policies.
