There was a Red Hat group on the Mercury last weekend. They were
having a lot of fun.

You get 2 or maybe 4 people in minimum rooms run up to the Lido in the
morning - capture a table for 6 by filling the chairs with books bags etc.,
and then hold the table for the day playing cards, reading books, talking
etc. Meanwhile others are looking for a place to eat their lunch.

My second favorite is people who can't dance hopping around the floor as if
infected by evil spirits bumping into to those actually trying to do real
ballroom steps. This type of behavior would not be allowed in a casino or
other area where a certain knowledge is required, but the dance floor seems
free game.

Great.........I'll look forward to irritating you

If it bothers you to steal dirty towels, simply use the stolen dirty
towel to replace the clean ones in your own cabin so that way you can
steal the clean ones :-)

All humor aside, I do find various towel 'accounting' rules to be a
nuisance. Its mostly because the 'lost towel' fee is often several
times the real value of the towel in question, which only serves to
motivate those who carelessly lost their towel to go steal yours to
avoid the fee.

I guess that's one way. G

The rules are irritating although I can't remember ever really having
a problem with them but there will probably be a time we do.

Unfortunately there are people who appropriate things for themselves
which can cost a hotel or cruise line a lot.

Mine would have to be those who hog chairs with towels and then you
see the towels sitting on empty chairs throughout the day. As far as
I am concerned if you aren't in the chair for about 15 minutes or no
family member is right there the chairs are fair game. What do you
guys think?

What about the obnoxious volume of the Princess's MUTS system. I can agree
that it should be loud enough to hear during the day by the pool but they
gone way beyond that to the point of being irrational. Remember to bring
ear plugs !
