On Live with Kelly this morning

They are talking about Carnival's new policy to combat "Chair hogging". If you haven't heard Carnival has been testing this week on the Carnival Breeze having pool attendants put on stickers with the time on chairs unattended. If they come back in 40 minutes and no one is there they will remove the towels and any items left. From what John Heald is reporting on Facebook it has been a big success and they plan on rolling it out fleet wide!

Great. Hope they have it full swing by the time I cruise!

I hadn't heard but I like it. 40 minutes seems reasonable to me. People will complain, of course, but those would be the ones guilty of hogging the chairs! Sounds like a good plan.

Good Idea!

[reggae]

Excellent idea! I hope the other Cruise Lines follow suit!

[Jeanie]

Love the concept

Wanted to add....I read this when you posted that article on FB, Denise....and then read the comments...

Most folks agreed with this for sure, but there were a few that didn't! One guy said he was heading over to Cruise Critics to see if anyone had figured out ways around this new sticker thing!!!

Hey, how about being considerate? Use the chair for a bit and then let someone else use it!

This really is one of my pet peaves!!

Sounds great to me. Such a simple concept yet it took how many yrs for someone to think of it?

[Krazy Kruizers]

I read about the Breeze starting this a couple of weeks ago.

Sounds like a good idea.
