Wish Royal would adopt something like Carnival's new chair hog policy

You have no right to touch anybody's stuff and watch what will happen if I see you doing this.

 

I am a very peaceful person, but not in cases like this. And I do not care what terms you are using in your head. You are a thief.

 

 

 

 

If it's been sitting there that long, the property could be deemed forgotten or abandoned.  Removing it and giving it to RC crew merely helped return it to its owner.

 

Besides, theft is the intent to deprive someone permanently of their property. Simply moving it doesn't constitute theft.

At least your anger would be entertaining.

As entertaining as any interaction with thieves

Why are you showing me your photo? Are you planning to look like this?

I do not care what your intentions are. You may imagine anything in your had, but once you are taking my stuff this is it.

And since when swimming for 45 minutes is abandoning my property.

 

What happens if my work laptop slips and breaks? Whoever should be prepared to pay.

 

Look for available chair as I do.

I agree with the Carnival policy.  Many times I have searched for a lounger only to find a sea of empty towel covered chairs.  Not everyone is in the pool or at the buffet.  A half hour is a reasonable amount of time.   Remove their stuff and make them retrieve it so they don't have to pay for the towel..     and don't tell to get there at the Crack of dawn to reserve a seat.  I don't get up at dawn when I am on vacation.

Whatever, I’ll touch whatever I want once it’s been abandoned. 
 

I think you need to look up the definition of thief/theft. 
 

Can I get some details on what you will do when you see me?

[Tatka]

Completely empty chair with only towel present is a clear sign chair is reserved.

No, you cannot. Let it be a nice surprise for you, but I am sure you won't be doing this again.

 

You have a very strange idea about abandonment. The only way you can even determine that someone is absent is to watch this chair all this time (30 minutes or more). Not just randomly deciding that someone was absent for more than 30 minutes. 

 

And even if you think you are 100% sure this happened the only way to deal with a situation is to report this to nearby staff.  They usually have better idea if another cruiser is in the area and how long he/she wasn't there.

YOU took responsibilities for your laptop

when you brought it to the pool deck and left it unattended; you will be receiving no compensation from me.

Everyone, take a one day time-out. This in not war time in the trenches. Please, one deep breath and look upon this tomorrow. 🤔.

Your opinion, it’s wrong, but you are entitled to it.

Oh trust me.

Who said I am leaving anything unattended? I am NOT LEAVING Solarium or pool area, so I watch my stuff.

Again, you cannot take people's stuff.

You do not like something, you complain to pool area stuff.

You left the chair; that makes the items “unattended” 

 

Good Night, Good Cruising

It is not an opinion.

 

If you are not standing and watching my lounger for all this time, you cannot even know if I was there during this time. You also do not know if I am watching my stuff.

 

Your only option is to check with a pool stuff rather than deciding if something is abandoned (still not yours to touch) or not.

I left my chair so what? I may be watching it from Jacuzzi or pool.

 

Trust me, with so many cruises every year (5-6) and working days from time to time I am very experienced in this matter. 😀

[Mum2Mercury]

Wow, it's getting heated here.  Folks, if you don't want to risk having your stuff moved (by another cruiser or by a staff member), don't leave it unattended on a chair.  No one is a thief.  The end.

Wait a second. So it is acceptable to take stuff from loungers if it is left there at any time?

 

I think not. It may happen, but it should not.

 

I of course will never leave meaningful stuff in loungers, especially my work laptop, but it is beyond the point.

 

I sailed with 8 lines before deciding to make RCI my preferred line, and RCI have yet to disappoint me. And I have not seen any fights ... unlike on some others. 🙂

I guess you want some pot-stickers to go with stirring the pot 😁. Blessed are the peace-makers for they shall not get popcorn for the show. We lose much weight by being righteous, but now that I think about it, could I have some of that movie popcorn delicious butter on mine?  😋

If I am not planning to use chairs at all I just put my stuff on regular chair on the edge of pool.

But … you aren’t using the chairs. Why do you take up “premium real estate” by the window when you are spending your time in the pool? If you used a chair adjacent to the pool where you’re spending your time, you could keep an eye on your things and have easy access. And leave the nice window views for those who will actually sit and enjoy it.

Well said. 

You (general you, not speaking to you specifically) can huff and puff and make vague references to what will happen ... but you're right:  if you're not using the chair, don't claim it.  Simple, polite, courteous.  

[CanHardlyWait4NextYear]

I've said this before, I'll say it again. Being at the pool, is using a pool chair. In the water or in the seat. That's the same way it works at any pool on earth. You know it and so do I. Now going to lunch, taking a nap in cabin, etc different story. If your "at the pool" you are using the facilities and all that goes with it. And we all know the difference between at the pool and 6 decks down.
