Someone should pointedly ask Princess what would happen if a passenger injured their back moving seating from the balcony because the inside chair has been removed..... What about all the rest of the chairs on the ship? People move them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But passengers moving chairs elsewhere aren't doing it because the chair that was in their cabin has been taken out. If they claim chairs are being removed for "safety" (which we know isn't the case), it's a lot safer leaving the chair in a cabin than having a passenger drag an outdoor chair in, where they might trip over and injure themselves, or "do their back".

All I can say is good luck with any law suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare oskidunker Posted February 26, 2019 #479 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I am going to REI and sveral camping stores to see if there is a decent, collapsable chair that I could take as carry on on an airplane to a cruise. Usually fly Business so I can check two bags and carry on the chair. Will report back when I find something that might work. Dont want it too low to the ground and must be somewhat comfortable. what a pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be a cold day in ----- before I carry a chair on a cruise ship. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare oskidunker Posted February 26, 2019 #481 Share Posted February 26, 2019 just received a call from cust service. Nothing new but they are tracking complaints. No reason given that makes any sense They knew about the guy on the 49 day cruise on the Royal. You would think they could find this poir guy a chair. The fact that they refuse really makes me determined to find another cruise line for next yest. Will be calling Celebrity later today. Also have been told Viking is really good and they provide chaurs in the rooms fir even the lowest priced cabins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still in the "invincible" stage of life. Younger people have no clue about the issues faced by older people. It's always been that way.

CRUISEWITHH Posted February 27, 2019 #486 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I've sent letters to J Swartz and to customer relations but can't someone who has the know how, please get together a petition that we can all sign? Maybe if they get a petition with enough signatures it will move the forces to replace/return the stateroom chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firecrewcapt Posted February 27, 2019 #488 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hope this makes sense, let's say there is 1000 couples who decides to cancel their cruise due to this subject matter along with some of the other short comings now, let's just say the total cost was $5000 multiplied by 1000 and you get $5,000,000, maybe this is too simple math but just a thought, just saying.

ldubs Posted February 27, 2019 #490 Share Posted February 27, 2019 492 posts -- Yikes. I have not read all 492. I personally won't mind if the chair is gone. It just gets its the way most of the time. The other one by the mirror is sufficient. I have a sneaking suspicion most feel differently -- maybe 492 to 1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless, of course, there are two of you and you want to eat room service.

4x4bob Posted February 27, 2019 #492 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Add me as another unhappy cruiser. When I first read about the barrel chair being removed and then a few posts later it was added that the small table also was gone my level of unhappyness went up. I like to sit in the chair reading and looking out the window in our cabin. Also, just where will the flowers that I order for the Wife sit? The make up desk is normally covered by our stuff. Sit the flowers on the shelf above the refrigerator and they will soon wilt from the heat. And, as others have also posted, room service also will be a thing of the past since I don't want to set the tray on the bed while I am also sitting on the bed to eat. I guess I can go up to deck 7, find a chair by a window to read. Other passengers probably wont notice that I am wearing my PJ's 🤣 Bob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R**T Posted February 27, 2019 #494 Share Posted February 27, 2019 My last Princess cruise was less than perfect. I did not come back new. And now they are taking away the lounge chair and table from my cabin? I do not read, eat, or watch television in bed. I'll be taking my loyalty credit and moving to another cruise line. Even the Motel 6 can provided two chairs and a table in their rooms! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsdinner Posted February 27, 2019 #496 Share Posted February 27, 2019 There was no chair or table in our cabin on the Diamond in January. We did not miss it. It is usually in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted February 27, 2019 #497 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I don't think we really need a poll. Just look at the posts. I' sure Princess knows the reactions, but they don't care. "Come back new" now means come back with a bad back you didn't have before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
