You can not hold a chair for hours and expect it to be there. I think they should be fined for their entitlement

I’ve removed towels from chairs at resorts. You have to actually care if someone gets mad about it for it to be effective.

Last cruise I was on people put towels on chairs at midnight…after three days cruise employees started stacking chairs at 11pm but still had to get up at 5am to get a chair

I always just grab the towel and chuck it on another empty toweled chair. If you aren't there, it's not your chair.

My problem with this is that you, as a passenger, have no way of knowing how long it’s been there, and therefore no way of knowing if the person is just swimming in the pool or just stepped away for a minute to get a bottle of water or use the restroom or something. And I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect someone to give up their spot for any of those things. The staff who have been there and are keeping an eye on things are the ones who can actually know whether or not the person is being reasonable.

Hi, how would you describe the age range of the adults on your specific itinerary? I am considering Princess for its amenities/beautiful ship, but I’m told their target demographic is for 50+. As I will be cruising for my 25th, I don’t want my family + group to feel ostracized. Thanks

We have sailed with Princess mainly times. The first time we sailed with them and our family we were 21. Our friends love Princess and sail with their son who is 10. They do have a kids are it just isn’t as big or elaborate as other cruise lines. Hope that helps. Happy travels

We have seen cruisers find an open chair and sit down, then people come back and get mad that their stuff is gone when it was the cruise staff that removed it. No one wants to get in an argument over a pool chair.

MSC has the best thermal spas and they are not expensive for the full pass. Aside from the Divina all of them have a therapy pool. Carnival seems to have some good ones on there ship too. I've found Royal doesn't really do thermal areas at all its just saunas.
