rjac Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 Actually, Cookie10*, you are the one who is unreal. You have a total disregard for the RC pool rule of "no reserving deck chairs/loungers" as well as total lack of respect for fellow cruisers. My question for you is, what makes you so special?

dejagatkins Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 That response about people looking for chairs being "unreal" says it all. I'm looking for a chair and can't find one near the pool and others are out to lunch and actually think that they can block someone else from enjoying the pool while they go to lunch at chops. I"m speechless! tzb, teddy, MicroBeta and 8 others 9 2 Quote

I feel this post may be intended as satire (at least I hope it is). If not, it seems as though you enjoy a lot of the different amenities and dining options available on ships. the reason for the 30 minute chair rule is so that other guests may enjoy the pool areas while you are off enjoying the other amenities.

Enjoy your time at Guest Services arguing about you un-returned towel charges. No, you do not get to wander off for lunch and expect to keep your chair when tons of people would like one.

Lovestotravel Posted October 28, 2019 Report Posted October 28, 2019 Curious: I assume that chairs by the pool are the most coveted and populated. What about chairs that are on deck not near the pools, but more to view the sea? Are those often all taken as well? (newbie here!). TIA. Quote

No, you can usually find a chair very easily if it isn't in the immediate pool area. Quote

Jill Posted October 28, 2019 Report Posted October 28, 2019 I would go to towel station and ask, “Can I remove towels from chairs that no one has been in for 30 minutes?” They will say yes. You remove towels, if person comes back you tell them towel station said to remove. Then they can take it up with the towel station. Baked Alaska, lambdabeta and dejagatkins 3 Quote

I hate to have to but I am so tired of not being able to sit near the pool.The heat is intense so I can't sit far away from the cooling off source. Plus my husbands ankles get tired with all the unnecessary walking.If more folks did this then perhaps the selfish non present folks would get a clue. We were in the Schooner Bar last year on Liberty and I had high heels on. Went to sit down and the man 2 tables over said he was reserving 6 chairs for a party not yet arrived. Stood the whole time and saw that his party never arrived, he left and others took the chairs. lambdabeta and Hoski 1 1 Quote

It's not my experience on any class on sea days. If you want a chair that is not in constant direct sun on a sea day, then you need to be at the pool before 9 am. And even at 9 am, in my experience, most chairs are already claimed. The chair saving is insane, and people have no courtesy whatsoever. lambdabeta, FManke and Jill 3 Quote

Again you guys are unreal...... @cookie10*, I'm really curious what your reasoning is that makes as @WAAAYTOOOmentioned, not following the posted rules about loungers ok? Is it simply the first come, first served mentality? Rules don't apply to you and your family? Unfortunately, the rules have had to be implemented, because of people like you. During the course of a cruise, strangers become a "neighborhood" for a short time and civility and courtesy should follow, just like at home, not left on the dock when you board. lambdabeta, Hutcherl, coneyraven and 2 others 5 Quote

Rigs32 Posted November 9, 2019 Report Posted November 9, 2019 What if it were the reverse? What if people blocked off tables and chairs in the buffet area very early so they knew they’d have a good place to eat breakfast and lunch? No one would assume it would be ok to leave people with no place to eat! Why is it ok to leave people with no place to sit/lounge? i bring a tote bag to the pool deck and have no problem putting my things near the pool or hot tub as I use them so as to not hog a chair. If we all just used items as we needed them, there would be fewer issues. note: short trips to the bathroom or to grab a beverage should not require abdication of a chair. lambdabeta and Carlos A. 1 1 Quote
