Loyal Fans Expose Why They’re Walking Away From the World’s Biggest Line... One of the most glaring frustrations is the sheer amount of "prime real estate" dedicated to high-end retail stores selling luxury watches and diamond jewelry. For the average cruiser, these shops are a baffling waste of space, often sitting empty and silent while the nearby Café Promenade or Sorrento’s is a chaotic scramble for a single vacant chair. Passengers find it maddening to walk past a vast, climate-controlled showroom for Cartier or Omega when they can’t find a place to sit and enjoy a slice of pizza because "chair hogs" have occupied every lounge and the Promenade parties have turned the central thoroughfare into a standing-room-only bottleneck. These parties, while vibrant, have become a source of irritation for those who simply want to eat or drink; guests report that people will line up chairs from surrounding venues hours in advance just to watch the 70s disco show, effectively "paralyzing" the dining flow for everyone else.
