Royal Caribbean have announced this week that they have decided to use FREE RANGE eggs to their on board catering! This policy has been brought about by the collaboration with US Based humane society: Royal Caribbean will bring in 3.2 million eggs of free-range immediately, and will increase to 6.8 million within one year. It is estimated the change will spare nearly 30,000 hens each year from being crammed inside tiny cages
Matthew Prescott, corporate outreach director for the Humane Society said: "Many cruisers take their concern for animals, food safety and sustainability with them when they travel, and we applaud Royal Caribbean for taking those concerns seriously by reducing their reliance on eggs from caged hens". I personally am in favour of the move as I always aim to get free range eggs at home, and I don’t particularly favour the way cheap chicken meat has been reared. I for one would have thought this was in place a long time before, any one have any thoughts or opinions on this? Any ideas how else the cruise line could be a bit more ‘friendly’?
