Rainbowdayz Posted March 29, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I notice people are always complaining about the lack of available deck chairs poolside. I am not a pool person but we will be sailing on the LOS Saturday with people who are. Any tips for areas where deck chairs are available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Posted March 29, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2006 If you don't need to be directly poolside, I find the most chairs on available on the deck above the pool over looking the pool area. I actually like this location better than poolside, unless it is extremely windy out. You get a nice breeze on the upper deck where I find it can get almost stiffling hot at pool level.

I'll pass the info along. I remember reading a post a while back recommending the aft area behind the spa and fitness center. Is this what's shown as the Sports Deck?

Merion_Mom Posted March 29, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2006 It depends on the ship. They are not all configured the same.

cb at sea Posted March 30, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 30, 2006 There wouldn't be such a problem if people didn't plop their stuff down at sunrise and then leave until 11:00 or 12:00! I also think the cruise line could do a better job of supplying more chairs and policing the ones they have! JMHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverTheCat Posted March 30, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 30, 2006 :rolleyes: Ah, I was just on Legend 3/11 and the deck chair issue was a huge issue on my cruise. So many saved chairs, so few bodies in them at any time. I found a deck chair on sea days on the area at back of ship directly below rock wall and behind fitness center. Go down stairs by rock wall to get here. Cushy chairs and most of the time there were a couple unoccupied. They dont save them here!!!! We actually NEVER found a chair on the pool deck or above deck on sea days. They are all taken so fast! I doubt it will be different on your cruise, just to be candid. The pool staff just didnt seem to care. They sure do care about selling you drinks at the pool area and on decks though...no shortage of those people around!!!!! :rolleyes: Take my advice on the cushy chairs....the area is better than pool anyway. PEACE AND QUIET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverTheCat Posted March 30, 2006 #8 Share Posted March 30, 2006 The only "sports" on the so called "sports deck" are rock wall and mini golf with a very bumpy surface and too windy every day to play. That was a let down big time with Legend compared to Navigator...we were told it at least had a half court Basketball by Customer Service... who was useless yet again!

nvrealtor Posted March 30, 2006 #9 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Finding a deck chair is easy. Just take the towel that is on the chair and toss it in the used towel hamper. I once saw "Manny" from New Jersey reserve 15 pool-side chairs at 8:00 AM by putting towels on them before he went to breakfast. I removed his towels. It was fun. The staff will do nothing about chair saving. Take it into your own hands and have fun! :) Fair Princess 1994 Regal Princess 1995 Crown Princess 1995 Song of America 1997 Sun Princess 1997 Song of America 1998 Crown Princess 1998 Sea Princess 1999 Rhapsody of the Seas 1999 Ocean Princess 2000 Sea Princess 2000 Rhapsody of the Seas 2001 Radiance of the Seas 2001 Mercury 2001 Sea Princess 2002 Radiance of the Seas 2002 Splendor of the Seas 2003 Mercury 2004 Serenade of the Seas 2005 Grand Princess 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 30, 2006 #10 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hey! I do that too! This is not just a cruise ship problem, but a resort hotel problem, as well. And what really gets me, are the families whose kids NEVER leave the pool to lie in a chair, yet the chair must be held for them at all costs! (Happens at our community pool all the time--drives me nuts!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbowdayz Posted March 30, 2006 Author #11 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Thank you all for the great info. I laughed at NVRealtor's remarks. Touche! Sounds like manners around the pool area are lacking. I'm glad to know there is another area behind the rock rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgi-one Posted March 30, 2006 #12 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Best place to find a chair is my balcony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbowdayz Posted March 30, 2006 Author #13 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Best place to find a chair is my balcony! Hey Giorgi-one, the people needing chairs are my brother and my nephew who have an inside room. My hubby and I have a balcony but no way are we loaning it to them. Could you give me your cabin # and I'll send them over? LOL! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cage keeper Posted March 30, 2006 #14 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I like the one from another post that just moved the chair to another location. When the chair hogs came back, they have no way of knowing who took it.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
