Alert codes

[barjpoe]

Just read that Royal is considering bringing back self-serve in the Windjammer.

Want to get consensus/opinions on it. Yea/Nay

I vote Nay; I like that the crew is doing the serving. I've seen to many not washing hands, using the serving utensils in multiple dishes (possible contamination), picking up food with their hands, or picking it up then deciding that they didn't want it and put it back; to name just a few.

Sorry!

Delete the above entry! I thought there was somewhere to edit

What I wanted to ask what are the meanings of the different Alert Codes we hear on the ship.

I know ALPHA, ALPHA  is for Medical emergencies.

Sounds like BRAVO, BRAVO is for Ship related problems

Are there others?

I am hoping to never hear echo, echo, echo

We heard Alpha Alpha Alpha on Freedom last night….after we had left Nassau to drop off the patient 

[egd207]

I vote NAY on the return to self serve,  People cannot be trusted to not touch food and put back, Lick spoon (gross), or multiple other offenses. And just touching a serving utensil after many people have already touched makes me squeamish.

hi!

Anyone know what ultra ultra ultra is for? They made a very loud ultra alert in the middle of the night, waking a lot of people. It was very loud, and repeated several times. It was associated with a cabin number.

there had been an alpha alpha alpha early in the cruise, and I figured it was some kind of medical emergency. Based on previous replies here, it looks like I was correct. But I can’t find ultra ultra ultra anywhere, and I’m figuring it must be really bad.
