tripchick Posted August 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Does anyone know if we can check in two zero gravity beach lounge type chairs to use on our balcony? They'd have to fit sideways, but at least we could enjoy our balcony. Would just have to have our room steward remove the balcony chairs and I'm sure there are others who request an additional chair. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisconn Posted August 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I guess you technically *could* slap a luggage tag on each...but have you ever tried to check and travel with a folding stroller? Mine always get broken. I would expect that they'd be easily damaged along the way unless you're somehow packing them in a bag or protective case. The airlines and shoreside porters are throwing stuff around all the time... I really don't know why you want to schlep an additional two chairs? Seems like a lot of work when there are chairs already on the balcony and they are not that uncomfortable! Your room steward will even bring you a footstool if you give him a nice tip.

Grandma Dazzles Posted August 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I would assume you are driving to the port! Regardless of how you are getting to the port, it would still be a lot of work to carry on board. I don't think you could check with your baggage, as previous poster noted, probably would get damaged with all those suitcases. Also would think you would have to sit side-by-side across balcony - not much room on a standard balcony. Using chair and asking for a footstool is a lot easier.

tlatrice Posted August 2, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Don't know if I'd trust it to check in. Although I could see where that would be nice to have on the balcony. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare dna1990 Posted August 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Get a corner aft and bring all the furniture ya want. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makiramarlena Posted August 2, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) you should definitely check with the line before bringing your own balcony furniture...for one thing there may be standards for fireproofing, composition and weight of balcony furniture.

Goodtime Cruizin Posted August 2, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) Tie wrap each one closed. Then get ceative & develop a strap system and wear them on your back. Having said this, there's no way I'd even think about carrying on board chairs. Edited August 2, 2016 by Goodtime Cruizin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Dazzles Posted August 2, 2016 #10 Share Posted August 2, 2016 As a further comment to my post above, if you decide to do this, keep in mind you have a decent walk up sloping ramps and walkways, and you will also have to carry/wheel your hand luggage. Not something most people would want to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripchick Posted August 3, 2016 Author #11 Share Posted August 3, 2016 couldn't be bothered and have to say one of the more strange posts I've seen in quite sometime.....K.O.:D Haha Well, have you kicked back in a zero gravity chair before? WAY better than sitting in a balcony chair with your legs propped up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripchick Posted August 3, 2016 Author #12 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I believe I read of someone else doing this and the chairs come in a bag. So, we could tag it. Yes, we'll be driving. I'll check with our agent. I know it sounds like a huge added hassle, but it'd be a lot better to kick back (even though we'd be side by side) and be comfy. It would totally beat sitting in a balcony chair with our feet kicked up. I believe our agent said the aft balconies have smaller balconies or were taken? Can't remember. Thanks for indulging my out-of-ordinary Q. I'll post what I hear from RCL. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for indulging my out-of-ordinary Q. I'll post what I hear from RCL. :) Aft balconies - true aft across the back of the ship - are larger and usually have a chaise lounge. I could see tagging a chair and leaving with the porters for delivery, however, they really do toss bags around, no different than the airlines, and would not be surprised if a chair would get bent with all those bags. You also might want to check the depth of the balcony to see if you could get two out there. I think it would be difficult on a standard balcony.

tripchick Posted August 3, 2016 Author #14 Share Posted August 3, 2016 All excellent points about the chairs arriving inoperable from all the tossing. I'm going to check with my TA and ask about the aft balconies. If they have a true chaise, I'd be in heaven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of threads and pictures if you use the search function on this site. Love the aft! Usually a couple of chaise type chairs, plus regular chairs.

EBFURR Posted August 3, 2016 #18 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I am following this to see how it turns out. I doubt we would ever try this, but I do relate to the idea. We have these chairs for our camper and we love them. Maybe RCI should sell them on the Promenade? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerif Posted August 3, 2016 #19 Share Posted August 3, 2016 While these do seem really comfy, I don't see how two would fit on a regular balcony. Also, asking your room steward to remove the standard furniture, find a place to store it and then return it on turn around day is asking a lot.

ColoradoGurl Posted August 3, 2016 #20 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) I can't see bothering to do this for use on the balcony, but it would make sense to bring them for port stops, especially since chairs usually cost $10-$20 on the beach. I personally don't think it's really worth the hassle, but I don't think it's weird that people would do it, and I'm actually surprised we don't see it more often.

Gefunkt Posted August 3, 2016 #21 Share Posted August 3, 2016 WE had a junior sweet below the hot tubs and there were 2 lounge chairs and 2 regular chairs, there was plenty of room for the zero gravity with out being sideways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP didn't indicate what type of cabin he had booked. Juniors Suite would have a larger balcony than a regular balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffy116 Posted August 4, 2016 #23 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Saw a guy hauling a regular size box fan off the ship on the Liberty this past month. Just not anything I would do. I'm trying to carry as little as possible but I'm never shocked at what others carry. If I could, I'd mail my clothes to the ship so that I could walk up with nothing but my purse.

John Reid Posted August 4, 2016 #25 Share Posted August 4, 2016 The problem we found when we brought our two zero loungers on a 3 1/2 by 8 balcony is that there was absolutely no room for the Weber grill and tiki bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
