Smurfy Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 I've read many places that chairs by the pool are hard to come by because people save them. Would I be allowed to bring my own fold up chair instead? I've attached a pic to show what kind I'm referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you're allowed to carry that on the ship but it's always good to double-check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXcruzer Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Even if you were allowed to bring it on board, I imagine you would have a hard time finding a place to set it up Hoski and Pima1988 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lounge chairs on several decks. Hoski and sk8erguy1978 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we want to be closer to the fun, usually the deck above pool (jogging track) has some available chairs.

I like it much better on the upper deck. I like to choose a chair on the railing side of the track and turn my chair around to enjoy the sea. sk8erguy1978 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had a problem finding a chair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellcee Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I'm 99% sure it's a no with safety reasons being the biggest reasons. The chairs are weighted for when the seas are rough or it's windy. Any carry on chair would be a safety hazard if it blew around and hit anyone.

Ditchdoc Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 There are plenty of chairs, loungers. Virtually every place that is suitable for one or the other has one. That means IF people were to start bringing their own, the only place to put it would be in a walkway or some spot that would only add congestion. Everyone's desire is different. Some want shade, some want sun, some want to be in the middle of the 'action', some want peace and quiet, some what to be at the bar or near food. If your desire is that strong, then go where you want early and 'stake it out'. Don't expect to reserve something all day and not use it. Be reasonable. Putting a towel on a chair and going for a bite to eat is reasonable assuming you come back in short order. Don't expect to get a seat in the middle of the 'action' 5 minutes in advance. If I really intended to spend most of the day poolside, I never had a problem getting a seat somewhere suitable if I claimed it by 10am or so. If it is a Sea Day, it can be more crowded so go early. That's not to say you will not find seating somewhere, it just may not be where you would like. Be polite, be courteous and be early to get a location you want.

SpeedNoodles Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 There's not a chance that a chair like that would survive the winds that we are having on Symphony today. Ogilthorpe and USCG Teacher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I mean no disrespect, but I think you're wasting your time/effort bringing that. It's going to be more of a burden than a help. mook1525 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes people hog some chairs but you will always find chairs and you will be surprised to find them in places you will probably enjoy more than you would in the crowded spaces. Go on Youtube and take a look at one of the videos featuring a tour of your ship and that should ease your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
