The latest cruise ships lack these signs, so a few people tend to walk clockwise, which can cause problems in the narrower sections should you have to pass them there.
Despite having a constant stream of the other 95% coming towards them, they generally won't turn round and join the general flow, and you see them lap after lap.
You can imagine the chaos when Mrs Fox gets out there on her e-bike.

Wow that actually brings back memories of moving in a counter-clockwise circle - at the ice and roller rinks. We always did that. And stayed primarily to our right. If you were on the left, you were either passing, or you were skating "patch" in the center of the ring. On Friday nights everyone would be going around counter-clockwise, faster skaters pass on the left, until the DJ called for everyone to go in reverse.
