Chair hogs be warned

[melbur]

On Jewel, they are placing these on chairs that haven't been occupied for a while. HD said they are fleet wide and just arrived for this sailing.

So what difference does that make?

Following....let's see how well this is enforced and how well it works!

Yesterday was also a sea day and the attendants had no fear of stripping towels and belongings off chairs.

It was enforced quite well on Odyssey in February.

Spectacular.  My fam and I swim on a cruise (not lay out), so we only need 1 chair for all 6 of our stuff, and we just find one when we arrive at the pools.  It would be nice to not struggle to find a chair.

Had them on Freedom last week. Not sure they'd work alone. Enforcement is key.

Maybe instead if adding pay for cabanas to the pool deck RCI could have used the space for people such as yourself to stach their belongs while the swim or use the hot tubs.

They would need one for almost every chair on Oasis.  They were almost all taken before sunrise and deck crew did nothing.

Not at all on Anthem in February.

Especially the loungers with umbrellas on Beach Side pool.

Nice idea...and I like the obvious red color....but if not enforced, pretty much worthless.  😞 

 

I am not a "lounge chair lizard" and have never used them or the pools/hot tubs, so I don't use the pool loungers.  (Prefer my own balcony)  But is the ship not swiping sea pass cards to check out a pool towel any longer?  

 

I would think a collection of towels on chairs not being used, then tossed into the towel bin would generate a charge?  But that probably opens up a hot mess on that subject.  😉

Did they place the pink notices on the chair backs, and did nothing?

Or, they did nothing, including no notices placed on chairs?

Last month on Oasis they were ruthless, stripping rows of towels and junk

About time!

[cruisegirl1]

From the looks of those folded  towels just holding chairs, it seems it is  not working.  

 

Towels were out at 6:30AM last week on Wonder.  The sun was not even up yet.

Agree 100%!  I have never been a chair hog and it always amazes me how many folks just drop off their stuff and don’t come back.

[orville99]

Better solution than the post it notes they were using on Mariner (which they did enforce)

[melbur]

This is the 2nd sea day and it's being enforced. I think the purpose is for people to see reserving chairs is being noticed, and may cause some folks to think twice before doing it again. One can hope 😎

[HappyTexan44]

If you are a non-chair hog and walking around looking for a chair, aren't those basically a sign saying, "These chairs are free.    Just toss the stuff onto an adjacent chair and it is yours."  

 

[voyager70]

As others have said enforcement is the key.  Hopefully they’re finally getting serious about this issue. We’ll  find out how well it’s being implemented on EX next month.

[Mom*3]

We saw attendants move towels and belongings 3 times on the Wonder over Spring Break. One group had 16 chairs and they cleared 5 of the 16.

These bright pink signs are on every other lounger on Anthem.   I'll let you know if it works.

Click the photo and zoom in. That’s how I was able to read it. 
Zooming only was blurry.
