While sailing the Galaxy on a recent cruise I saw that situation over and over again... Those of us trying to eat a meal were having to go out on deck and eat in a chair ( no tables left on deck)because all the single's were taking up space by lingering(forever) over coffee and reading. It's not fair for those people carry around a tray full of food hoping to eat breakfast or lunch seated at a table. I wanted to suggest to the offenders that they move along as they have already finished there meal and make space for the rest of us. I said nothing.....it really is so inconsiderate not to move on and let others eating a meal have some space too.
