Cruise guests will need to follow the rules in each destination they visit but there are also some rules to follow onboard.<\/p>\n
Yasmin Pekel, cruise expert and CEO of Blue Cruise, has warned passengers of a \u201cmajor unspoken rule\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cOne of the major unspoken rules of cruising is that you cannot reserve lounge chairs.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll guests want to be able to use the pool space, meaning all chairs are first come, first served.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you leave your items across several chairs, it is likely that a staff member will have a discussion with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Chair hogging\u2019 or saving pool loungers is a major annoyance for other passengers and is frowned upon by most cruise lines.<\/p>\n
Yasmin added: \u201cOther guests could also get annoyed, potentially leading to verbal altercations, which may ruin your holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guests should only put their items on chairs they intend to use or the cruise line may remove their things.<\/p>\n
Don’t miss… <\/strong> Yasmin added: \u201cA cruise is a holiday, but you still need to be considerate of the fact that other people are here to relax and get some sleep.<\/p>\n \u201cMaking noise late into the night, early in the morning or being excessively noisy in places that are for everyone, such as the pool, could get you in trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n Although some cruise ships have more of a party atmosphere, guests could still get in trouble if they make too much noise.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.
