grandmaa Posted April 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2011 OMG Just what we need on the ship personalized chair bands!! We have friends who just come back from a Celebrity cruise with many sea days. They said that the deck crew went around and put cards on chairs that were vacant for more than 1 hour..if people did not return in a timely fashion they took their belongs off the chair and put them in a bag at the hold area on deck. Maybe Princess should institute such a program? Chair hogs are the epitome of selfish behavior whether on deck or in the Princess theatre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Princess won't start selling these name tags for chairs in their onboard shops :eek: earnied from somewhere other than the ship. I have seen them advertised somewhere. Princess already sells "reserved' loungers, its called the Sanctuary. IMHO, these personalized bands are just about as sacrosanct as a flip-flop left on a lounge at 0630 before the passenger returns to the cabin for more sleep.

Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted April 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I would just take them off and give them to staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted April 14, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 14, 2011 It looks like passengers are now coming up with ways of thinking they are saving their loungers. Ridiculous IMHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpcountryTravelers Posted April 14, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Since I have a very common name (Jim), I would look for one with that name (or "Bill" since my middle name is William), and just plop down. If they come back, I would show them my card and say it's mine, the ship must have reserved it for me. "SURELY no passenger would do that"!

kittylady7 Posted April 14, 2011 #8 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I agree with We're Sailing Away... I'd watch the chairs to see if anyone was actually going to use them and if no one was actually sitting in them I'd give their stupid little signs to the staff. That is just obnoxious!

Smee Posted April 14, 2011 #9 Share Posted April 14, 2011 This is a world wide disease, I think our German cousins started it way back in the 1960s around the Spanish resorts which were popular back then. But alas this disease has spread to all people around the world and I agree its the epitome of selfishness... You even get people leaving towels on sunbeds in the morning and going on a tour, coming back about three in the afternoon expecting it still to be there. There are one or two words I could use to describe this practice but they are extremely rude........:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coracii Posted April 14, 2011 #13 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Since they appear to be stretchable, they could easily be "shot" overboard :D Funny thought and quite appropriate to get rid of the bands, but unfortunately those things would quite literally be murder to the various forms of sea life...

bananavan Posted April 14, 2011 #14 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Well the good thing about these is that if the pool attendants remove them and take them down to the lost and found the owner might be appropriately emabarrassed. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacy6893076 Posted April 14, 2011 #15 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I would use just assume that they belonged to that nice bar tender ( i recognized the name from the bar, so it must be so ! what a nice touch!) use it as a drop off for my empty beer bucket, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmros Posted April 14, 2011 #20 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I think I see my name on one of those chair bands. If I was there, I would do what UpcountryTravelers would do, I'll just take the chair lol. I can't believe people would do this, and with their names on it! The first time I saw this picture and saw my name on it, I was embarrassed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelkel2 Posted April 14, 2011 #24 Share Posted April 14, 2011 o for god's sakes this is insane. The chair hogs were so bad on our cruise it was insane. I think it was making everyone who dealt with it angry, but then again, people were for the most part really good about letting you know if someone hasn't been at that chair in a long time and that you can take it.
