Creator's Key Takeaways
Chair hogging is driving cruisers nuts. We have seen it a number of times. We actually watched an assault one time in the theater on a Royal Caribbean ship
The top three complaints that cruisers have about cruising in general are the following. Number one, chair hogs. We know it's a problem.
It's the number one complaint from cruisers and it's the number one complaint from the cruise line against some cruisers, obviously not all.
If you're going to get up at 6:00 a.m. and take those seats, you're going to take the best ones. They're always the best ones and it's so frustrating
