Cruise health WARNING: Avoid touching lift buttons, rails and casino …

However, certain parts of the cruise ship are more contaminated than others.

Passengers should especially avoid the lift buttons if they want to avoid getting ill, revealed the doctor. 

As almost all of the passengers come into contact with this surface, it is likely to harbour the highest concentration of germs.

Other spots to avoid include the toilet door handles, the casino slot machines and the ship’s hand rails.
