Liztoybiz Posted June 25, 2011 #152 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Our kids were in a regular balcony room. No loungers, just the usual two chairs and a little table. Our GS had two loungers out of that new wicker stuff but they weren't real loungers, they were a chair with a footrest. We got to see a CL suite and they had more of the wicker stuff but their loungers were solid, not split. Hope this helps someone. BTW, none in our party of 5 rooms asked for a lounger because even though we planned more balcony time, we were on the go lots. We DID plan a midnight run to 'borrow' a lounger but we were usually too pooped by midnight... Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxesden1 Posted June 25, 2011 #153 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Has anyone taken a lounger on to a ship? Folding table? Was it refused to board? Put into storage? Returned on the final night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seatravelers Posted June 26, 2011 #154 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Just off Oasis 3 wks ago in a JS. Asked for a lounger and one was delivered to the room, no problems. Not sure what is going on here???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amickeyfriend Posted June 28, 2011 #157 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I want a lounge chair! I wouldn't ask for one to be delivered for me specially on a 3 day cruise, but we go for two weeks, have limited walking ability, and think that it is not too much to ask.

ARCruisinNana Posted June 28, 2011 #158 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Just got back from Freedom. We had an aft JS with the very large balcony. We had 2 loungers, a small table and and table height table with 2 chairs. There was plenty of room. Too bad it was too hot to enjoy it and there was no breeze.

ibcnusoon Posted June 28, 2011 #159 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Just another reason to bring my own! Unbelievable! I think I'll develop a product just to fill this new niche. It will have to a very portable lounge chair, lightweight, yet durable enough to support overeating cruise passengers, self inflating and deflating, and bullet proof so it can be used as a shield in case of pirate attacks. Let's see if someone can come up with a clever name for our new port-a-lounger. thanks for the laugh!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grand isle joe Posted June 28, 2011 #160 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I tried taking my Barco Lounger on board with me but ended up in the "Naughty Room".:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaT91403 Posted June 28, 2011 #162 Share Posted June 28, 2011 For whatever it's worth, we are just off Oasis in a JS on Deck 6. I asked for a lounger, and was told "No, we don't do that anymore". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibcnusoon Posted June 28, 2011 #165 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I purposely reserved an AFT cabin on Brilliance because we are 3 days at sea and I want to lounge on my AFT Balcony! If this becomes a RCCL rule, I will either move to a hump cabin or move somewhere else and take my extra $600 for that AFT Balcony and spend it somewhere else (not on the ship!) :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Flying Pirate Posted June 28, 2011 #166 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I just knew those mega ships were no good - Radiance had loungers! :eek: I totally had to laugh at that! We enjoy the Radiance Class better than the Mega Ships too. The last time we were on Jewel they had Loungers on the larger balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezbel716 Posted June 28, 2011 #167 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I just got back from a Brilliance Mediterranean cruise and there was a lounger, two chairs and a table on my balcony. My cabin was on the beginning of the hump, so one side was at an angle and could fit a lounger. Didn't even have to bribe, I mean ask, the room steward. ;) jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsealin Posted June 29, 2011 #168 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I was told by several crew members on the Liberty ( which we could not get a lounger on the hugh corner aft balcony ) that this is to become the rule on all RCI ships. When they will all be removed is a question, but someone said they take them off when they go into dry dock. If that is true I would guess it will take some time for them to be removed from all ships. How about starting a write in campaign asking them to not take the loungers off the big balconies. Who would be the best person to write to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flacruiser123 Posted June 29, 2011 #169 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Perhaps it's not RCI's rule but instead it's the Coast Guard's new rule to remove the lounge chairs from the balconies, as one poster suggested. And maybe it is because of the room that they take up on the larger balconies, as another poster suggested...definitely sounded like a possibile reason for the new rule. Then I wondered, if this were true, why wouldn't two chairs on the normal size balconies pose an even worse hazard???? Think of the pool area...and all the lounge chairs...there are only walking paths between the lounge chairs. I just booked two aft rooms last week. My husband won't even consider going unless he has his aft room, which makes booking so hard! The other room is for 3 men (family birthday cruise) who love their naps... ...and I was worried about getting a third lounge chair for the 3rd guy in the room...

Who would be the best person to write to?Well having been on Liberty after her dry dock, it would appear that they didn't take off that many loungers during dry dock, unless they have taken them off since, because there were lots of broken loungers and ones in a bad way with peeling paint etc stacked towards the aft on deck 4 when we went for a wander around.

Hypo Posted June 29, 2011 #175 Share Posted June 29, 2011 You can always drag the mattress from your bed out onto the balcony. I have done that and slept out there a night or two. I did replace it on the bed before the cabin steward came in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
