Bea3 Posted August 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2013 After reading the Splendor things only CCers want to know--I believe there is supposed to be a certain maximum time chairs are allowed to be held. Don't people-staff and or guests- just remove towels after that period of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomarvin Posted August 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2013 it is SUPPOSED to be 40 min. I was with Catrin (Hi Cathy :D) on the Splendor and they didnt enforce it at all. There was one woman who covered 15 chairs every morning. Yesterday she was seen putting stuff on 15 chairs at the Lido pool AND 15 chairs at the adult pool. Another put stuff on chairs in the sun and the shade. It was horrible. Due to Dorian we went to Grand Turk on Friday rather than Wednesday and the Freedom went there as well rather than Curacao (sp?) It was VERY crowded. We sat on a chair to put our shoes on and some 20 somethings came by and said "thats my chair" needless to say he hadnt been in it all day. I just said "Chill, we're just putting out shoes on". So the "Chogs" were there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbbjr1012 Posted August 6, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I was on the Splendor for the July 20th sailing. There were a ton of chair Hogs out; they did not enforce the maximum time per chair rule. They started to but the stickers on chairs on the third and fourth sea days but they did nothing after that. They never came back around to check the times on the chair. They need to enforce this more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise_girl2002 Posted August 6, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I just came off the Splendor today and chair hogs were terrible I was at adult pool at 730 watched a short fat lady yell at me as I went to sit on an empty seat and told me that was her seat , as she took 15 towels and placed them down like cards , no one said or did anything, no one used them before noon, on a rainey day she took 15 at the inside pool and not sure how many outside but I watched her head out to other pool with more towels as sun was coming out . I would have said something to her. what a B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catrin Posted August 6, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I cannot wait to upload my pictures (may take a few days). I have one picture I took yesterday from above..showing her two rows of saved chairs and ONE person sitting .... and no one else. We stayed in our chairs (hubby couldn't sleep, got two chairs.....I arrived 30 minutes later at 7:45am).... until NOON. During that time.... only 5 of the 15 chairs EVER had a person sit in it for more than 5 minutes. But... don't you know that every once in a while one of the group would visit his/her chair for a second.... sit down, socialize, and then leave. They were chair hog professionals. Better than everyone else... and entitled for some reason. It actually became our source of entertainment ..... such a blatant disregard for others. I bet she removed her tips, too! :p Catrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van1025 Posted August 6, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I was on the splendor last September while it was still in California. And there were chair hogs too. Sadly it was my first cruise and I didn't know what could be done about it. And the crew, which I'm sure is different now, didn't enforce anything with regards to the chair hogs. Ruins it for everyone else. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bea3 Posted August 6, 2013 Author #11 Share Posted August 6, 2013 So the lady with 30 chairs posted at least one guard and then others would come for a few minutes to look like they were actually using them? At least that makes some sense. Not that it is right but how she gets away with it. So in general if the staff does not stop people from hogging chairs what happens when someone does move towels just sitting there. Fights? Yelling?

And they also collect unnattended things after about 10 minutes. This 40 something minute rule is silly, IYAM, cause you can constantly work around it.

Rusty Aligator Posted August 6, 2013 #20 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Well, I am going to be on the Splendor in a few weeks, and I can't wait to take the towels off the chairs as soon as she puts them down. If 15 people put towels down, fine. But if one person puts down 15,....that's a no-no, and we may come to blows over it. I'll be the one in the phoney CCL officer's uniform waiting for her.

SkyMewg Posted August 6, 2013 #22 Share Posted August 6, 2013 If there are other chairs available, I don't care. If there are none and someone is hogging them like this, I'll simply go claim two for my wife and I. If anything is said I'll kindly remind them it's first come first served and reservations aren't taken for any chairs. If it escalates from there I will take my shirt off, instantly blinding them, and then claim victory. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine5715 Posted August 6, 2013 #23 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Or hand one of those towels to someone wearing a speedo or thong and have them dry off "there" and toss the towels back on the chairs...:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
