Does this encourage those prone to hog chairs?

[Lottacruises]

And I suppose one of the VIPs already took their clip from the one package...

[jimbo5544]

Lol, they need no encouragement, but those who do it, will do it with or without the clips.

[Butterbean1000]

It's true they don't need any encouragement,  but this seems to legitimize chair hogging.

Seriously this idea was not thought through completely.

[sanmarcosman]

This is insane. 

[tallnthensome]

Yikes! Goes against everything they try to discourage when it comes to chair hogging. I’m going to buy 4 and clip them to the chairs in the Lido buffet in the morning so my table will be waiting for me when we go back into the buffet at lunch.

[TNcruising02]

I can see an entitled person thinking the signs that give a time limit on the chairs don't apply to them if they have these clips.  These clips are an epic fail.

[rainbowflag]

Throwing fuel on a fire is never a good idea.

Of course it was, as far as driving sales from the giftshop 🙂

Interesting that the depicted clips don't match the image on the backer board but do match this image from a European site:

These should be the next Platinum gift. The chaos they create poolside would be more fun to watch than the Hairy Chest or Lip Sync contests.

Be sure to use them when you're taking a short break from endless cards games played at the lido tables during the lunch rush, too😉

Chair clips are legit.  'VIP Reserved' chair clips are BS.

Staged for sure.

Ugh!  I saw the Carnival branded ones in the Fun Shops and thought they were cute. But the "Reserved" is taking it too far!

[ishap]

Just wait...very soon Carnival will be selling FTTC.

 

For only $129.99 for a seven day cruise, Faster to the Chair will give added benefits such as:

• Access the deck chairs 30 mintues before anyone else every morning
• Guarenteed deck chair in our exclusive FTTC area
• Special chair clips to use each day
• Complimentary special FTTC drink on the last afternoon of the sailing
• No time limit on chair saving.  Save your "personal" chair for the dive-in movie!

*Some restrictions do apply.  Clips must be turned in at the end of the cruise or you will be charged a small replacement fee.  FTTC drink is a daquari of your choice with a chair umbrella.  Access to the deck is dependant on weather, other guests, or chair availability.  FTTC area may be changed on a daily basis and is not guarenteed to be near the pool.  $129.99 fee applies is for an entire cabin, however only two chair clips will be provided.  Additional chair clips can be obtained for $49.99 per person.  Offer not valid on all ships.  Carnival reserves the right to change the prices, without notice, for any reason.

[stellarose]

that is why I look for the most secluded area, away from the pool and music playing and find a chair.

Accept the first one, which makes no sense, I would pay for a reserved chair. I don't want to get up early, just want a chair available. If they had 10 reserved chairs in the Serenity area, we would rent one.

[biomedbob]

Now I can remove the clips and the towels as I see fit!

 I Can start a clip collection from all the Carnival ships!

[sw33twif3]

Serenity Deck for me!

Or secluded shady spot.

Yeah, as the deck is always open I was just trying to come up with something off the wall and comedic lol.

 

I rarely relax on a lounge chair unless I find one in the shade and it's rarely near the pool.  I prefer to have a quiet, shady spot where I can read and/or nap.  I've really never had an issue finding one in the less populated spots on the ship.

Or take a break from babysitting a table full of luggage during embarkation lunch or debarkation breakfast.

You don’t think these should say VIP and Reserved? Why not?
