Canaries delights and disappointments

Unless the captain physically comes out and removes towels from sunloungers then what can people expect the company to do? It is a personal responsbility, I have always removed towels from sunbeds and once had an agruement with a fellow passenger over it but I said that the captain (on a Thomson cruise, yes I know!)had asked people not to reserve sunbeds and that if they weren't willing to listen that was their problem and they were welcome to complain to the captain. I agree that children in adults pools needs looking at but I have seen and heard passengers complain that their child cannot swim in a particular pool.It is difficult for a company which is Britains most popular line to strike a balance because if they started to really clamp down on children in adult pools before long this site would have complaints and there would be an article in the Daily Mail with pictures of crying children.

Children in "Adults only" pools is a recurring issue on all P&O ships that I have experiencece myself, and which must be addressed by the company. I have always understood that P&O are one of the few cruise lines that do not tolerate passengers "reserving" sun loungers by placing towels on them, etc. I believe that you are perfectly within your rights to remove these towels and use the sun beds yourself if they are left unattended for a reasonable amount of time! If someone has popped to their cabin for a book or gone to get something to eat from the buffet, etc, then they should be back within half an hour or so. After that, the lounger is yours! DO IT! Happy cruising.
