I guess you could sit on it if you would like!  LOL!

Or the floor.

The lack of a second chair is very disconcerting. How is that an improvement? Well, we are sailing on Emerald Feb-2020 from our home port; I guess we will just bring our own quad chair!

What’s a quad chair?

Folding camp or picnic chair. Folds in from all corners/accordion so it is easy to carry in a slingbag under one's arm.

It's a sad day when you have to bring your own chair on a cruise.   Thank goodness we're lucky enough to be in a mini suite on our Emerald cruise next week.

I guess I have a problem carrying my own furniture onto cruise ships.  It is easier to find a cruise line that has adequate furniture in the cabin.

It is a sad day! Maybe they will be shamed into providing appropriate furniture! 

 

We have (2) mini-suites reserved for the 2-wk RT Alaska in June 2020; that was equivalent or not much more than 3 OVs for 5 people. But we just couldn't stomach the price of a mini-suite on the 28-day.

 

@Hlitner That is why I have not sailed Princess in the past! On at least the older ships and original cabins up to Vista Class, on HAL you get a sofa even in Insides, but have to book a mini-suite on Princess. We did just stay in an added cabin on the Zuiderdam with no sofa, but it did have THREE chairs... and very easy access to the Crows Nest.

OK....never heard it referred to a quad chair.  Must be a California thing....LOL!

No chair to sit in seems like a really strange thing to do! Makes no sense at all.  Are the balcony chairs on the Emerald small enough to bring one in when not using them outside.
