Suites that have always had loungers still will

But those that haven’t won’t.  E class.

I was told ALL loungers were being removed.    Did not matter suite or not - being taken away

Not what the executive office told me this morning.

I too spoke with Celebrity a few weeks ago.  unfortunately Celebrity changes constantly as do the reasons.  Earlier, a poster was told because kids brought loungers inside and jumping on them. Safety issues was another common retort and that too is what I was told.  Unfortunately, the reps get the “story” of the day to pacify.

I also think X changes in response to how PO'd we get on these boards over an issue.  We have 27 pages so far here on loungers.  Butlers thread was longer still.

Simply put on E Class, loungers will not fit on S1 and 2s also CS suites.  Glad you believe the executive office but they were not being truthful.

Thanks for addressing so many of the different questions raised on this thread when you were asking about your concern.

We will be in a Deluxe balcony ( Hump) on Eclipse. We carefully researched the largest ones. The current description includes having loungers on the balcony. It is the only reason that we chose this room.  
Fortunately we have time to change rooms or cancel.Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, but quality balcony time is a top priority for us.

Balcony time is important to so many, including us.  We were on the Ascent last week of March in a MC suite. had loungers. Not long after, someone in a MC posted pictures …..no loungers, only the 2 very uncomfortable small chairs and table

Our recent deluxe verandas(on the hump) on Reflection and Eclipse did not have loungers. We did pre covid. We have not been able to get a third chair even with 3 in the cabin. That is my complaint.

Agree. We're just off the Edge in an otherwise great SV cabin. No loungers or any comfortable furniture. Just the two "doll house" chairs and tiny table. So much for enjoying our balcony.

Simply put, you've clearly misread rina's posts.

Someone in having this issue should go to the 6th deck & make friends with a solo cruiser.  If they aren't part of a group, it might be nice to offer them a dinner seat at your table one night in exchange to borrow the chair for the cruise.  They likely have an extra chair available & may appreciate having extra floor space.  I figure if both cabins ask the cabin steward to move a chair, the steward would do it.

Has anyone heard if this issue was mentioned or any responses from the Celebrity Executives on the Presidential Cruise regarding the loungers??  Did they have loungers for their balconies???

Happy to report …just boarded Equinox today in Aquaclass and have foot stools….there is a sticker on the chair that says do not lay flat…

Currently on Apex - have a lounger on balcony in Sky Suite - plenty of space for it on the balcony - not that it’s been needed with the weather pattern 😂

I had to chuckle at the subject line on this morning's e-mail ad from Celebrity.  "We'll hold a lounge chair for you".   I thought - yeah just not on your balcony, unless you ask, maybe, we'll let you know.

My thought was "But...saving lounge chairs isn't allowed!" I guess if you're "holding" it and not "saving" it, you're ok?

But if you're in a suite you automatically have the premium package (unless a MoveUp or maybe a Blue Chip) so you are actually saving them money by not being out drinking

that makes them X's perfect passengers - paid for premium drinks and not drunk a thing.

Has anyone been in a Celebrity Suite on Beyond lately?  What do they have?
