New Ideas for Chair Hogs?

[SusieV]

I doubt anyone would want to take my spot if I had one of these!

 

 

Of course... if they did want to take my spot, I'd wonder how they got on my balcony :)

I think that is so funny, I think sometimes I would like one of those for the chairs. Thanks for making me laugh, I really enjoyed that.

Actually if a chair hog was to actually use one to "reserve"their spot, a pool butler would see the mess and race over to clean it up.... when they realize it's fake..... free'd up chair!!! :D

I just think that there are quite a few different ways to be a chair hog, but what about those of us who are great at dispersing items from the chair hoggers by different configurations etc, not to mention taking items to lost & found. I have never done this before, but have given it a few thoughts...my cruises have always been too port intensive; however, I understand how frustrated you could get on a TA...:eek: Have we never heard from the hoggers themselves? They may paint a different picture...

People come and go. Maybe you will not find a chair in your most favorite location. Just wait....and usually a chair will get vacant. Hardest place to find a chaise is near the pools. If you don't intend to use the pools, there are many other places to sit.

On our cruise last month on the Equinox, someone saved two chairs with a plate of pineable on each chair and a towel. It was over and hour and when I left it was still there. I wish the pool butlers would have taken it away. I saw alot of chair saving and I did mention it on the survey they gave us.

I find that one of the grandkids' diapers works well if I scrunch it up and make look like it's a used one! :D

On the Eclipse on April 6 the pool butler on Deck 14 was actually overly active. My husband just left to get food from the buffet and bring it back, gone about 5 minutes, and I was sitting on the chair right next to his reading, and before I knew what happened the pool butler and grabbed his towels and pulled them off the chair (he even had to yank hard as I had them clipped on with the black binder clips that went flying!). I had to find the clips and re-do his chair. Not a huge deal, but kind of annoying as I spent the rest of the cruise feeling like I had to watch over my shoulder for him so he didn't come and try to take our towels when either of us were in the pool, etc.

I like the old dirty adult diaper smeared with chocolate trick!:D

I was going to say that no chair hoggers would surface, but . . .

Hmm, never even considered it, but maybe I shall!

[Banjo]

Great! When did they start serving Dunkin Donut coffee on Celebrity :D ?

[southwinds]

Best one we saw was a WALKING stick and book left on a seat.... :mad:

Never saw the person use the stick it was just a prop !!

[southwinds]

I need a sign that says ' gone swimming' !! I swim for ages and forget the time.

Yikes...thought you meant the insect! :eek:

[obnurse]

If you swim for ages and forget the time, kindly don't take up a chair until you are going to sit in it. We don't reserve a parking place at the mall and leave to go eat or run home for something we forgot. I don't understand the whole concept of chair hogs. If no one reserved chairs the problem would go away instantly. One's flip flops and book don't need a chair, one's butt does....and it can't be in two places at once.

[WINEMANVISALIA]

of course you must prepare properly for your cruise as we did for celebrity cruise>>> HOW I HAVE PREPARED FOR CRUISE ABOARD CELEBRITY CENTURY ..a bit of FUN :>))

1 Went out my front door at 4pm; wearing a hat with an X on it , a clipboard, and ran muster station drill with my wife in the car who blew the horn 7 times.

 

2. I went to buffet restaurants and practiced stopping in place for no reason at all and proceeded to walk into the exit . Then I reached across the arms of someone trying to get a salad. When they turned and glared, I rolled my eyes upwards and said, “Zorba the Greek is my favorite movie, do you think he is on this ship? Opa!

 

3. I went to a travel agency and asked a customer,“ how much did you pay?...no matter what they said, I answered,...yeah, that's pretty good but we got a free cruise because on our last Celebrity cruise the SOMMELIER TASTING CUP was larger than normal and they refused to refund us for the sips of wine we did not get! **THIS IS WHYCELEBRITY SOMMELIERS NO LONGER USE TASTING CUPS!!!

 

4.I stood at my CHASE BANK ATM, inserted my card and posed for my picture. ( I missed the 'ding' sound, though)

 

5. I walked into a Department store, put white paper bags on the elevators then put my hand to my forehead and shouted WHEN WILL MACYS USE THE BALANCERS!

 

6. I played the twist by Chubby Checker, stood in my shower, soaped down my hips, wrapped the shower curtain around me and danced.

 

7. I watched the Food Network shows where contestants ate a lot of food.

 

8. My wife and I went to lunch in a nice restaurant. sat down and played cards and then dominoes while sipping on cokes.

 

9. Called Suzie Orman show to discuss whether we could afford tipping. She said we could! Started heated thread on Cruise Critic on tipping without being cheap!

 

10. I sat with strangers in a restaurant and asked “how u doin?... where are from?.... first cruise?...told knock knock jokes. I told them I was practicing to meet tablemates on my next cruise!

 

11. When the strangers left, I told them how much I hated CELEBRITY cruise line and I should know because I have been on 30 of their cruises.

 

12.Every time I went to my toilet, I took my vacuum cleaner with me and turned it on when I flushed.

 

13. I took my kids on a crowded elevator, insisting there's lots of room and smiled as they pressed all the floor buttons.

 

14.I never left the house without my duct tape, over the door shoe organizer, surge protector, lysol wipes, and night light and X bobble head.

 

15. I woke up at 5AM every morning and crept around the neighborhood, placing towels on my neighbors' patio chairs to reserve them for the day.

 

16. I gave my mailman a gratuity envelope with a stamp on it and thanked him for the towel monkey and chocolates on my bed.

 

17. I rolled up MONOPOLY $20 bills and lit them over my fire place in preparation for my casino losses.

 

18. I issued my wife an Onboard Credit for a future cruise and told her if she closed the deal tonight, she would get more!

 

19. Booked a room at a Motel 6. At check in, asked the guy at the front desk for upgrade. When he said no, told him our travel agent told us we were on The List for a free upgrade. After our overnight stay, returned home and immediately posted a 4-page complaint letter on Motel6 Critic.com detailing everything that was wrong with our trip and how our lives are ruined because we did nothing but plan and anticipate for months. We stated everyone we talked to agreed with us.

20.Finally on Sunday, our family stood in the back of the church and practiced singing the GREEK NATIONAL ANTHEM (in honor of Celebrity Cruise Line's Greek origins) at the end of services. You can learn the words and music here>
