smellycruzer Posted October 9, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I read a post on stand by rates and it got me thinking, theoretically speaking, what if princess offered standing room only cruises for deeply discounted rates? Maybe only a limited number per cruise. Where would you sleep? There are usually nice couches near Explorers. I would use showers by the pool.

smellycruzer Posted October 9, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted October 9, 2015 When I started cruising in the 1980s I thought I heard something like that with standing room only. sent from my iPhone Princess Cruise App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard-of-roz Posted October 9, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2015 On some of the bigger ships this is exactly what it feels like when you go into the public areas. Some of the passengers even look like they've been sleeping standing up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted October 9, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I don't think it is a good idea. People trying to sleep while others are wandering around the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysaddlebred000 Posted October 9, 2015 #8 Share Posted October 9, 2015 It is bad enough the way it is with people camping out all day on the comfy chairs and loveseats by the windows with their shoes off and stinky feet up on the furniture. Same thing with the tables by the windows in the buffet. Some people stay there all day with books or computers. I've been told they are people in inside cabins. It is very maddening in the buffet when you can't find a table to eat by the window and every one is full with people not eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron the Rev Posted October 10, 2015 #10 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It's the way of the world, I'm afraid. Every cruise line fighting for customers for the glorious $. Gone are the days of most people being polite and nice. Do you remember the days 40 or so years ago. It all started with the airlines dumbing down, then the cruise lines followed. Do you agree or is it that I'm just an old fuddy duddy. Oh well pays your money takes your choice. Still happily cruising, life's what you make it.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

long cruiser Posted October 10, 2015 #12 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Back in the late 70's and early 80's you could walk up to the check with your suitcase and negotiate a fare. long cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
