Costa Cruises recently informed guests they could face a \u20ac60 cleaning fee \u2014 close to $70 \u2014 for taking buffet food back to their cabins, according to the cruise blog Crew Center.<\/p>\n

The cruise line, a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, told Fox News Digital that \u201cguest\u00a0safety and well-being\u00a0are our top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a limited number of specific sailings, onboard communication was shared as a preventive and deterrent measure, in line with our existing policies, to encourage guests to [have] responsible behavior,\u201d said a Costa Cruises spokesperson.<\/p>\n

\u201cCosta Cruises remains committed to ensuring a high-quality, safe and enjoyable experience for all guests on board.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter said only room service staff trained in sanitation and hygiene procedures are permitted to transport and\u00a0deliver food\u00a0to guest cabins, Crew Center reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll food must be consumed exclusively in designated dining areas,\u201d the blog reported.<\/p>\n

Costa Cruises, which is based in Genoa, Italy, offers sailings through the Mediterranean,\u00a0Caribbean\u00a0and South America.<\/p>\n

Cruise passengers\u00a0debated the policy\u00a0in response to a post by the unrealcruises Instagram account.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t blame the cruise line for\u00a0implementing certain rules. One thing I hate to see is plates [and] cups in the hallways by room doors. If you bring them there, [carry] them back or just eat in eating areas!\u201d one commenter said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t blame [the cruise line] \u2026 if you\u2019re gonna go get food from the buffet, bring the dirty plates back to the buffet. I mean try to have some class,\u201d another person said.<\/p>\n

A third commenter disagreed, saying, \u201cZero chance I\u2019d pay that fine. Make breakfast in bed for my wife every morning by bringing food back. Who cares where you eat the included food.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love to take our food and coffee to enjoy on our quiet balcony,\u201d another person said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yet another chimed in, \u201cCruise lines\u00a0have enough problems without having more charges.\u201d<\/p>\n
