Earned it the right way FWIW, I haven't sailed Carnival, Princess, HAL, NCL, etc.. in several years, but had a lot of experience, so I don't feel comfortable sharing what those lines are like anymore. Haven't a clue. Edited March 18, 2023 by John&LaLa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiszBug Posted March 18, 2023 #2281 Share Posted March 18, 2023 What a wild and wonderful week! This afternoon we capped it all off with ice skating for Phoebe! The crowd clapped when she got on and off the ice! Thank you to Chantelle, the Suite Lounge Concierge, Michelle the ice captain, and Marco who danced her around the ice. Long live the “Emperor”! 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted March 18, 2023 #2284 Share Posted March 18, 2023 1 hour ago, brillohead said: Honestly, (AND PLEASE DO NOT KILL ME FOR SAYING THIS!!!!) I kinda wish they'd charge $5/day to use a lounger.... it would fix the chair-hogging problem real quick-like! Give each lounger an ID number (or RFID tag or QR code), then you go into the app and punch in the ID number (or scan the tag/code) to "reserve" it (like you do for parking spaces in many cities) and they charge $5 to your account. If you want to switch to another lounger later in the day, you "release" your current chair and log in to a different chair (like a bus transfer, you don't get charged for the second chair provided you released your existing chair). They have pool attendants going around all day long picking up discarded drinkware, they could scan the unoccupied chairs as they go through and any chair with stuff on it that's not "officially reserved" gets the stuff removed and you have to go to the towel desk to pick it up. (And if that "stuff" was just a towel, it gets turned in as abandoned and the person gets charged $25!) The revenue from the chair rental more than covers the cost for the scanners, and the additional charge would prevent most people from hogging a bunch of chairs they're not going to use, or hogging two chairs per person (one for sun, one for shade). The cost for a lounger on a weeklong cruise would be $35/person, which isn't prohibitively expensive, especially since most people won't use a lounger every single day (port days, etc.). And for a family of four where the kids will be in the pool 99% of the time, that might make the parents decide to only reserve two chairs for the adults, instead of having four chairs claimed but with only towels sitting on two of them because the kids are never in the chairs. Or even just make it so that you only have to pay the $5 if you want to "reserve" the chair (meaning your butt isn't in the chair, but you want to keep the chair for your own use). If people don't want to pay for chairs, they can go and SIT IN THEM.... chairs with butts in them don't get scanned by the attendants. If you want to go to the Windjammer and come back in an hour to the same chair, you pay the fee. If you want a certain chair in the front row by the pool and get up at 6am to claim it while you go back to bed for a few hours, you pay the fee. If you want to sit in the hot tub or pool for four hours straight and want to keep your stuff in a chair the whole time, you pay the fee. All it will take is a tiny bit of accountability and there won't be a chair hog problem anymore. (And yes, Royal should have "cubbies" set aside on each pool deck where you can set your stuff down while you're in the pool or hot tub. Not everyone needs a chair, but they DO need someplace to set their phone / towel / sunscreen.) Well, I usually agree with most of what you write...... but not this time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted March 18, 2023 #2286 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Pool day. Upon arrival at 11am. Found one unclaimed chair by beach pool. Dropped and locked our Kyss bag and perched for 2 1/2 hours. Dehydration is the key. Never had to leave to P. and. I DO NOT P IN POOLS. THEN OFF the WJ chicken bucked salad tomatoes French fries back in room packing. 14:59 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't find seats together in the Solarium, we'll head to the top deck to try to find two seats together. Cooler and less noisy up there anyway. We're always on the upper deck. The lower deck is just to chaotic for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
