Rare Oceansaway17 Posted March 28, 2023 #126 Share Posted March 28, 2023 ya I am glad I DO NOT like the loungers that are hard to get in and out of. No way would I ever fight for one of them. I like chairs. But early birds are in every aspect of cruising that includes meals and shows. It is just the way it is. Same thing with getting off for shore excursions. Some folks will get off early and head to bus to grab a seat early. This I have done. I make sure I am at the top of the theatre and walk very fast. I even see others trying to out race me to the bus. So funny but it is the way it is. The mentality is "I paid my money and I want every bit I can grab".

If we will both be gone longer we give up our chairs. On some ships like Anthem we are in Solarium from 6:30-7AM till 3-4PM. We do not go anywhere together except for quick breakfast. Before Anthem came along we never really spent time in pool areas... we would just stop in pool area, put stuff somewhere near pool, take a dip and leave.

PolicromaSol Posted March 28, 2023 #128 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Was on Adventure last week. Didn't see these, but there were other "no chair reservation" signs around. I had no issues finding a deck chair. I compare this to past cruises where every last deck chair had a towel or something on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just try hard to blank it all out and hope for the best because I really do love hot tubs. I used to love them until i got a serious skin infection in an rccl hot tub. Took me 1.5 years to finally get rid of it. Scars all over my body from it. Later i became a certified pool operator and in class we learned that public hot tubs are next to impossible to sanitize. Too high of a bathing load in hot water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the shower beside the pool to be more refreshing than the hot tub and pool. As for the flowrider there’s no way someone can pee while riding so it’s all good. 😁 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HD said they are fleet wide and just arrived for this sailing. They have been on Freedom since last Summer and they haven’t made a difference. I have cruised on Freedom 7 times since they were introduced and they have done nothing to reduce the chair hogging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to cool off occasionally but the pool is usually freezing and the hot tubs full of diving, splashing, unsupervised children. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to mention the adults who are in there drinking but never leave. Wonder where they're relieving their bladders. Nothing like stewing in other people's urine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare momofmab Posted March 29, 2023 #146 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I like the idea of having to check in with the pool staff, who then walk you to the chair of your choice, and only allow you to save one other chair for someone who isn't there. That would eliminate one person saving 16 chairs - 8 of the 16 would have to physically be at the pool also. You could save one for your spouse/travel companion but if you're trying to save additional chairs for friends or kids, at least half of them would also have to be present. The entitlement and ridiculousness of chair hogging doesn't come from someone who is sunbathing and goes to the buffet for lunch and is gone for 32 minutes, it comes from people who throw a book on 16 loungers at 6 am that then remain unused for 4+hours. Many people who just want a couple of hours in the sun could use those loungers and still be out before the 16 hogs have even risen for the day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
