PASSENGER LEXI DURBAN, 25, WAS REMOVED FROM A CRUISE AFTER CLAIMING SQUATTER'S RIGHTS ON A PREMIUM RESERVED LOUNGE CHAIR AND REFUSING TO VACATE IT FOR FIVE CONSECUTIVE DAYS Fort Lauderdale, Florida — Lexi Durban, 25, was escorted off a Norwegian cruise ship and permanently banned after crew say she padlocked a monogrammed towel to a premium reserved lounge chair, posted a handwritten "SQUATTER'S RIGHTS APPLY" sign, and refused to leave the chair for five straight days despite it being booked under another passenger's name. Crew say Durban claimed she had read that maritime law allowed continuous possession of a chair to override any reservation, a claim staff repeatedly told her was false. Durban allegedly secured the chair overnight using a small combination padlock looped through the armrest She reportedly left personal items including a book, sunscreen, and a water bottle to maintain "occupancy" during meals The paying reservation holder says she was told the chair was "legally unavailable" when she tried to claim it Witnesses say Durban cited "possession law" to at least four different crew members over the course of the voyage Security intervened after the padlock had to be cut off during a scheduled deck cleaning Fellow passengers described the standoff as "surprisingly committed" for a pool chair dispute. "In 12 years working cruise security, I've never had to cut a padlock off a deck chair," said onboard security officer Trevor Callahan. The padlock itself was reportedly unavailable for comment, currently held by guest services. She locked it down and claimed the throne, now her cruising days are done and gone.
