Lenbro1944 Posted February 17 #1 Share Posted February 17 Saw a video on utube that gave a tour of ship on an at sea day on Explora Journey. It showed the pools that looked somewhat crowded,and most if not all of the lounge chairs looked occupied. What has been your experience with being able to secure a lounge chair on a nice day. Does Explora Journey have an issue with chair hogs or are there enough lounge chairs to accommodate those that want them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just on B2Bs and did find on the more crowded segment that there were a few chair hogs reserving some of the better locations in the shaded areas. But at no point after having breakfast were we unable to locate lounges in our preferred location at the Conservatory. If you are not concerned with shade there are many, many open loungers at all times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted February 18 #3 Share Posted February 18 The one chair/lounger problem, we noticed on EJ1, is the very limited seating at the all weather Conservatory Pool area. There are plenty of loungers/chairs scattered all over the upper decks. The problem of finding chairs in shady areas seems to exist on every ship (more then 70) we have cruised.

joseph123 Posted February 19 #4 Share Posted February 19 I saw the video and was thinking the same thing. Does not seem to be enough loungers in the conservatory area, and I would think it would be tough to find loungers there especially if the weather is not ideal and the sip is full. Lots of sofa like seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commodoredave Posted February 23 #5 Share Posted February 23 It’s sad and a poor reflection on the ignorance of some people that even on a luxury line that some pax feel they need to hog pool chairs. If everyone left them empty when not in use, there would likely be no issue with finding one when needed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinaLC Posted March 1 #6 Share Posted March 1 Does Explora staff remove items if they’ve clearly been left there unattended for hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeRon Posted March 2 #8 Share Posted March 2 Can you direct me to the link of the video that you all are referencing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelhouse Posted March 3 #9 Share Posted March 3 We were on that sailing and the prior one. In fact, my wife was in that Jerzy filming. It was taken the last day of the cruise and was a sea day. It was the only day we didn't get our preferred seats at the Conservatory. With about 800 passengers on that segment a bit of chair hogging had started on the last two sea days. During the prior journey with 650 guests there was virtually none of that nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
