alsa Posted September 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2022 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poffles Posted September 2, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited September 2, 2022 by poffles 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eas2225 Posted September 2, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 2, 2022 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! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaNicole Posted September 2, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 2, 2022 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplsmurf Posted September 2, 2022 #12 Share Posted September 2, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 7 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

TeaBag Posted September 2, 2022 #18 Share Posted September 2, 2022 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🤣. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing Shoes Posted September 2, 2022 #20 Share Posted September 2, 2022 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
