Yes on the Solstice ships. Marvellous things!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you still need to push a button? I remember these on the Equinox and am sure they were button operated

The toilet doors on Celebrity Eclipse had a big button outside to tap which automatically opened the door. I did notice many people missed seeing the big button and grabbed the door handle anyway. On many occasions there was an attendant who pressed the button as someone approached. The water supply in the sinks was automatic by sensor and they had cloth towels neatly rolled which were dispossed of through a collection bin beneath the counter. Poshest loos ever!

I must admit that I didn't notice the button either. I was most impressed with the cloth towels though and agree on the poshest loos I've ever seen.

Point being that they are a big button which you can knock with your wrist elbow etc.

Yes sorry forgot to mention that the buttons do have to be pushed but easily done as Harry describes with any part of the body you care to use! apart from hands!

Oh dear Wen, the mind 'boggles' as Harry had already mentioned wrists and elbows, what are we left with?

Ears, nose, backside, knee .............I will leave the rest to the imagination! All would make brilliant cartoons.....

When sailing on Fred Olsen's Boudicca, I found that you had to use the gels before entering any of the resaturants and when coming back on board ship from ports of call. The entire ship was spotlessly clean and the crew were forever cleaning and polishing - and yet it still gets more than its fair share of norovirus
As others have said, passengers' hygeine must have something to do with it. Also as, many cruisers are older, it's possible that their immune systems are more vulnerable. That's not meant to be an ageist comment; I'm 57 but my husband is probably the fittest 70 year old I know.

Hello Angela.
I agree with your comments about old people not washing themselves after using the toilets.
In many cases it is old people who do not wash themselves. I have witnessed many old women, pulling at themselves readjusting their underware in the buffet line !!!
really.
And then they pick up cheese sandwiches with their hands.
