paluni Posted June 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I was on the Regal Princess on a Caribbean cruise. I noticed two lounges together spread with towels, on a nice spot on the upper deck facing the outdoor movie screen. They were in the shade, great! So I moved the towel from one to the other, and settled down. I fully intended to politely vacate if the people showed up. I watched the movie for over an hour and neither person came back. When I left, because of that, I did not replace the towel I had moved. I left the lounge I had used totally free for someone else. I feel everything is OK if you just move as soon as a "saver" comes back. If you are very polite, they can't get mad. I have no qualms about taking a lounge nobody is using. But that was about the only time I did it. People who aren't there have no rights over a lounge, unless they went in the pool or a quick restroom break or something. Get up your courage and occupy a "saved" lounge chair. Just give it up nicely when they return (if they ever do). Proceed a little cautiously at first in case their relative is right there. You might inquire from a nice-looking person nearby if they know if "this" lounge is occupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
