Carnival Cruise Line has addressed a viral video showing a passenger using a fork to scratch their foot in a public dining area. The incident occurred aboard the Carnival Sunrise, which is currently on a five-day Caribbean sailing.
The cruise line emphasized that “forks are intended for food, not for foot care” and that their team quickly addressed the situation with the guest and removed the utensil from service. Carnival acknowledged that while the clips may seem humorous, “cleanliness and hygiene are no joke to us.” The company stated that their crew works hard every day to maintain high standards across their fleet and to ensure all guests enjoy a safe, clean, and comfortable vacation.
The six-part video series, posted by lucky_charmedcourt, has amassed more than 28 million views and shows the passenger scratching her foot with her hands as white flakes fall to the ground, followed by her using a fork to continue scratching. Users who saw the video were appalled and quickly took to the comment section to express their reactions.
