Lottacruises Posted October 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2019 And I suppose one of the VIPs already took their clip from the one package... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted October 2, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Lol, they need no encouragement, but those who do it, will do it with or without the clips. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean1000 Posted October 2, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) It's true they don't need any encouragement, but this seems to legitimize chair hogging. Edited October 2, 2019 by Butterbean1000 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallnthensome Posted October 2, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Yikes! Goes against everything they try to discourage when it comes to chair hogging. I’m going to buy 4 and clip them to the chairs in the Lido buffet in the morning so my table will be waiting for me when we go back into the buffet at lunch. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNcruising02 Posted October 2, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I can see an entitled person thinking the signs that give a time limit on the chairs don't apply to them if they have these clips. These clips are an epic fail. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StolidCruiser Posted October 2, 2019 #10 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Interesting that the depicted clips don't match the image on the backer board but do match this image from a European site: https://logopegs.com/collections/beach-pool-towel-clips/products/reserved-for-vip-towel-clip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHS123 Posted October 2, 2019 #11 Share Posted October 2, 2019 These should be the next Platinum gift. The chaos they create poolside would be more fun to watch than the Hairy Chest or Lip Sync contests. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to use them when you're taking a short break from endless cards games played at the lido tables during the lunch rush, too😉 Edited October 2, 2019 by sanmarcosman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TravelE Posted October 2, 2019 #16 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Ugh! I saw the Carnival branded ones in the Fun Shops and thought they were cute. But the "Reserved" is taking it too far! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishap Posted October 2, 2019 #17 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Just wait...very soon Carnival will be selling FTTC. For only $129.99 for a seven day cruise, Faster to the Chair will give added benefits such as: Access the deck chairs 30 mintues before anyone else every morning Guarenteed deck chair in our exclusive FTTC area Special chair clips to use each day Complimentary special FTTC drink on the last afternoon of the sailing No time limit on chair saving. Save your "personal" chair for the dive-in movie! *Some restrictions do apply. Clips must be turned in at the end of the cruise or you will be charged a small replacement fee. FTTC drink is a daquari of your choice with a chair umbrella. Access to the deck is dependant on weather, other guests, or chair availability. FTTC area may be changed on a daily basis and is not guarenteed to be near the pool. $129.99 fee applies is for an entire cabin, however only two chair clips will be provided. Additional chair clips can be obtained for $49.99 per person. Offer not valid on all ships. Carnival reserves the right to change the prices, without notice, for any reason. 4 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarose Posted October 2, 2019 #18 Share Posted October 2, 2019 that is why I look for the most secluded area, away from the pool and music playing and find a chair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accept the first one, which makes no sense, I would pay for a reserved chair. I don't want to get up early, just want a chair available. If they had 10 reserved chairs in the Serenity area, we would rent one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biomedbob Posted October 2, 2019 #21 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Now I can remove the clips and the towels as I see fit! I Can start a clip collection from all the Carnival ships! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as the deck is always open I was just trying to come up with something off the wall and comedic lol. I rarely relax on a lounge chair unless I find one in the shade and it's rarely near the pool. I prefer to have a quiet, shady spot where I can read and/or nap. I've really never had an issue finding one in the less populated spots on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
