What would you do?

[alsa]

Currently sat around the pool on Reflection.  We got here at 8am as decided not to go ashore and have a quiet day by pool.  Next to us is SIX sun beds with towels and pegs and one bag.  Still unoccupied 6 hours later - a group of women have ‘reserved ‘ whilst ashore!!!!! The pool area is starting to fill up - What would you do?? 

[tompeter]

Notify pool attendant...

[mac_tlc]

Have to notify pool attendant. No consequences = no change in behavior.

Tell the pool butler.  On the other hand, sincce you are already there and have your seats, you might justt ignore it

[lydnsyd]

That is my pet hate - I would Inform the pool attendant

[poffles]

If I wanted one of the sunbeds I would definitely report to the pool attendant.  If instead I was not wanting or needing one of the chairs I would not go out of my way to report (I would mention if a pool attendant walked by) ... HOWEVER ... if I seen other passengers passing by looking for chairs and seeming to be looking at these sitting there I would definitely be telling them what I've observed and let them go to the pool attendant if they wish.

 

Gotta love entitled people.  I wish the chairs had a sensor that if you didn't sit in it for so long it would do an auto tip and items would fall to the deck.  The pool attendant could then collect stuff on the floor at determined amount of time throughout the day (hourly?) 🙂  A malfunctioned chair could be a problem LOL

report and get them cleared!

I would definitely let the pool attendant know. 

Why are there some who feel entitled to reserve their chairs for the entire day?  It's just wrong!

[AnnaNicole]

You would think the pool attendant would notice that the sun bed went unused all day!  

 

Saving chairs at the pool is my biggest pet peeve.   I once removed stuff (a towel and a hat tied to the chair) from a couple of chairs and put them on the ground.   TWO HOURS later a woman started yelling at me that they were her chairs.  I calmly told her to take it up with the pool attendant.  She was irate.

Since you already have your loungers have a drink, enjoy the fun in the sun and not worry about them. 🍹

[Purplsmurf]

Since you already have yours I wouldn’t say anything, but if there are people walking around looking for chairs I would let them know that they have been unoccupied for hours and they can ask the pool attendant to clear the stuff

Sorry but I have to respectfully disagree.  The SIX people who pegged their towels and left one bag for SIX hours obviously have a sense of entitlement that is encouraged when they can are allowed to get a pass with their thoughtless selfish behavior.

While I agree it is absolutely thoughtless and selfish, we on CC don't work for the cruise line (with a few exceptions of course).  That being said, if I see people looking around for a sunbed in an otherwise crowded and filled up pool deck, I would definitely suggest that the sunbed seekers let an attendant know that those without bodies in them have been vacant for X hours.

[PTC DAWG]

Throw their crap in the pool… 🙂

[maggie.1008]

So what did OP do ?

[IZZYDAD]

Move it and leave a note telling them I did it, and if there’s a problem come see me!

[TeaBag]

I agree with telling those who are looking for a lounge chair that they have been unoccupied for hours and to go ask the pool attendant to remove their things.

I do like PTC DAWG's solution though🤣.

Then report it and move on.  

[Dancing Shoes]

I would let the pool attendant know.  Why don't the attendants do this?  Leave a plate unattended in the buffet and it will be gone in a New York minute.

Like road rage if everone did this we would end up pool chair rage. That sounds like a fun ship behavior.

[RTR 21-0]

Curious as to how the OP handled it.

WAG, maybe they don't want to deal with an unreasonable passenger(s).

Take a couple photos?  Time sensitive?  Yes, report with photos!  

[voyager1964]

I would mix some orange juice and vinegar, and then guess what😉
