On our Vista cruise, I found the poolside song rotation too repetitive. Maybe there are copyright / royalty issues.

Maybe transgressors should wear a Scarlet Letter!

…on a cruise stop in Tahiti.

Greet anecdote. It was almost poolside theatre. Or an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. What would Philosopher King Larry David do?

Prominent signage is a great idea! (Maybe include “Violators Will Be Denied Dessert at Dinner.”)

Good point about Aquamar. Close to Waves but 2 different worlds / dining experiences. Aquamar more tranquil and less bustle.

I am happy about a 6:00 pm opening. We prefer dining early and on our last cruise on Vista, it was difficult to find a booking before 8:00 pm. Good news!

A poster currently on Vista indicated table service only at Waves. Does anyone know if this is going to change permanently fleet wide and the reasoning?

Would this change to table service at Waves be more efficient?

Funny! There was a Columbo episode involving a murder on a cruise ship. But didn’t involve a hog.

That would look great on your resume.

I wonder if Ground Hog Day affected behavior?

Ya know…the Vista needs a new Sheriff in town…to clean up the chair hog lawlessness. Vintage Clint Eastwood would take care of it.

…when embarking in the Solomon Islands.

Maybe the Cruise Director followed this thread…

It didn’t occur to me that some poolsiders want to be seen on O. I assumed that sophisticated O passengers weren’t that vain.

This topic has inspired me to be ecologically conscious. For years I have been buying small bottles of spring water to drink. Always have one bedside. I went to Target yesterday and there were several refillable bottles with straw and filters, like Brita. The label read that the filter lasts 2 months. Does anyone have a favorite brand or model?

I like the idea of a lounge chair reservation. My mindset would be that it’s a free “excursion.”

My wife and I are refugees from Celebrity. That was our line of choice for many years. We weren’t priced out, but left due to a gradual decline in quality over the years, (Though I miss the cherries jubilee at the cruise’s end.) O granted us asylum about 15 years ago and we were thrilled to sail again last month for our first post pandemic vacation. There was never a lounge chair issue on C. As an armchair sociologist, it seems that culturally, people are more rude, self absorbed and less considerate of others. I hope that hasn’t happened on the CC boards!

Senses of entitlement show no boundaries. Last cruise someone was saving a seat next to me in the theatre for her husband, who never showed up. Maybe it was all innocent.

I didn’t notice that in the schedule…but if’s a great idea. Glad that you took the time to host them.

We have met many passengers who are retired from the Armed Services or former contractors. So happy to see them enjoying the cruise after service to their country. Is there a substantial military discount?

Violators will be hog tied!

It’s a good idea! The Lounger Avengers!

Please don’t jump on me for this query, but we recently finished our first O cruise that provided them in the cabin. Where are the touted numerous locations to fill them? I had no interest in using them but don’t recall seeing filling stations.
