Who's to say that the person who had "reserved" the chair wasn't going to spend an hour in the pool

Carnival Cruise Lines has announced a new program by which it will get rid of those pesky people who save lounge chairs all day but don't actually use them. Staff members, called "team monitors," will be patrolling the decks to make sure those towel-marked chairs actually have bums in them , reports The Telegraph .
According to the announcement, made by top Carnival Cruise Director John Heald on his Facebook page, these staffers will look for empty seats being held by towels, books, shoes or some such, and place a sticker on them , reports the Detroit Free-Press .
"Carnival Cruise Lines has recently begun testing a new system designed to ensure accommodation in melbourne australia that all guests are able to enjoy equal access to sun loungers by preventing seat saving in outdoor deck areas," Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen told Cruise Critic.
Apparently, the scheme is working. As Heald points out in a Facebook post Wednesday : "The message is truly getting to the guests as this morning at 9:00am there were 81 empty chairs around the main pool and that as you will all know...is remarkable."
We want the people who claim to love our city to step up and prove it. Carnival and Micky Arison need to pay their fair share and be real leaders in a city facing budget cuts, foreclosures and high unemployment.

Manners can be taught. The saving of chairs at resorts, airports, on cruise ships etc. is a form of greed. Along with the stickers a "How To Be A Considerate Guest" card could be left on the belongings.
I've never been on a cruise, and the other comments here make me think that's for the best. There was some chair-saving at Sandals in Negril Jamaica, but at least it was all inclusive accommodation in melbourne australia (including alcohol) and you didn't have to tip the staff.
Who's to say that the person who had "reserved" the chair wasn't going to spend an hour in the pool itself at a stretch?... accommodation in melbourne australia I know when I go swimming, I don't get out of the pool before accommodation in melbourne australia closing except to get something at the pool's snack bar.
Given all that is happening in the world today, I am so relieved to know that a new strategy to assure that lounge chair "hoggers" are caught in their scheme to hold a lounge chair hostage has been developed and implemented. I am sure that I speak for many when I say that I will sleep much better tonight! Thank you "lounge chair police". Any one have a strategy to remedy accommodation in melbourne australia world greed that leads to hunger? Maybe if we go about taping little stickers to the heads of "gluttons" they'll get the message??
I've only been on one cruise and I thought it was miserably crowded. My husband and I spent a lot of the time off of the ship or in our room (we had a balcony) to avoid the droves of pushy, rude people. I didn't even mess with the pool! First and last cruising experience for me.
I enjoyed both times I was on a cruise, accommodation in melbourne australia great food, entertainment and the Capt. Dinner is a good time.. Its what's you make it, I didn't see anyone being rude....But I found out I get really accommodation in melbourne australia seasick, and someone said you cant get seasick on a ship... wrong...lol
IT'S ABOUT TIME !!!!!!! EVERY Cruise Line has this problem !! And,, every cruise line should take a page from Carnival's accommodation in melbourne australia book & monitor this activity on every ship !!!! What in the name of God gets into people, which makes them become such self-serving pigs when they go on vacation !!!
I just got off the Carnival Breeze after 24 days-back to back 12 day cruises. I heard that an altercation on the lido deck finally got Carnival management to do something accommodation in melbourne australia about the saving chair problem. It was a problem from the first day on the ship! Some people were getting up before 5 am to save chairs. Lots of Russians on the ship as well as many other foreign accommodation in melbourne australia guests. Only 2 small pools which were filled to over capacity. accommodation in melbourne australia The crew was great. We came home sad to leave some great crew members we met. We call Carnival the Wal Mart of cruises due to their low pricing. They are still cutting costs and discontinued accommodation in melbourne australia the free cappucino and are now charging $2.95 plus 18% tip! It was a great way to see Europe, and we had a lot of adventures as we did most of of own tours..
I went on one cruise accommodation in melbourne australia with a group from work. What a hassle? Always in a hurry, monstrous tips required, rude crews hustle, hustle, hustle. That said my sister, brother in law, best friend and his wife love cruises. accommodation in melbourne australia Each couple goes a couple of times a year. I wouldn't go on another one if I owned the boat. But, even when I lived in the US I didn't care much for WalMart.
