Low Tech Request of Royal Caribbean

[nealberk]

With so many high tech goodies on all of the newer ships including ice rinks, climbing walls,and wave riders, why not give us a really low tech pleasure - a simple swing set on one of the decks overlooking the water. Not one of those kiddie swings where you have a swing that can shoot out 20 feet but a simple wooden swing where people could relax and just take in the wonderful ocean in a tranquil manner.

 

How about it, Royal Caribbean, can you do this for the swingers?

[Silvery Seas Cruiser]

Great idea! I like it.

[daWoods]

You're right Neal. Swingers should have some consideration too.

[Cruise Craver]

I like this idea, but then again, I am a swinger!!

[njdevil08]

He he, when I read the first few words, I envisioned little children on swing sets swining so high and flying over the railings!:eek: Though I do love the idea of the swings you are talking about. I think it would very relaxing and enjoyed by many guests.

[JLS cruiser]

I like the idea too! In fact when I read the thread it reminded me of the old John Anderson song, "Swingin".

 

So, with that song in mind, let me apologize in advance as I couldn't help myself. Here goes:

 

There's a little girl on our cruisin’ ship

Her name is Charlette Johnson and she's really lookin good

I had to go and see her, so I called on her extension

I walked down to her cabin, and this was goin' on

Her brother was on the pullman eatin chocolate strawberries

Her momma was in the bathroom dressing for formal night

Her daddy was on the balcony smokin a Cuban rolled

I walked with Charlotte to the pool deck feelin love down to my toes

 

And we were swingin'

Yes we were swingin'

Little Charlotte she's as pretty

As the Royal Caribbean Singers when they sing

I can't believe I'm out here

On the pool deck in this swing

Just a-swingin'

 

Now Charlotte's she's a Diamond, she's been cruising all her life

And when I'm on the swing with her it makes me almost high

And Charlotte is my lover and she has been since St. Martin

I just can't believe it started on the pool deck in this swing

And we were swingin'

Yes we were swingin'

Little Charlotte she's as pretty

As the Royal Caribbean Singers when they sing

I can't believe I'm out here

On the pool deck in this swing

Just a-swingin'

I couldn't even get bar service from a pool deck chair. :)

[Cruisin' Chick]

Would this be an adults only area?

I love to swing!! The first time I ever swung, I knew I would be a swinger for the rest of my life. :D

I'm thinking swinging means a different thing altogether in the UK..... offering the opportunity to swing to the UK market would encourage a completely different type of guest. Rofl. ;) :o

As George Bernard Shaw said, we are two people separated by a common language. However in this case I think we are on the same page, as there is intentional heavy double entendre in these posts. Not the case when I almost choked on my beer listening to a guy [who was a quite good sketch artist] from the UK mention to an American girl whom he was trying to pick up that "someone had (k)nicked his rubber".:eek:

[pungo3]

Neal, this is a delightful idea. Of course, it would have to be in an adults only area since we don't want children becoming swingers on a ship.;)

On Liberty of the Seas they had some swings in the Solariam pool area. I have attached a small picture.

Do you mean something like this?

There were 4 of these on the Independence in the Solarium.

[BillOh]

Where would we put it? Front of the ship would probably be two windy. How about somewhere aft on a higher deck so you could see the stars or the sunset?

You beat me to it!

Seems like we were both posting at the same time.

[ILoveScotland]

Oh, I do so love to swing. Great idea. But it would have to be on an outside deck, not just in the Solarium.

So you are at Liberty to swing, in the solarium on the Liberty of the Seas:D

[I-Cruiser]

I love to swing, too. For as long as I can remember realy. We are acually a group of 10 going on the Brilliance OTS in a few weeks. I will make sure we swing a bit on our GS balconies:)

[morebeaches]

what a great place to leave my towel while i go to the windjammer:D

Really? I had no idea. :eek: Are you sure? They did provide proper pictures and all.

[Tyler80]

Yes as a couple people have mentioned there are wooden swings onboard Liberty of the Seas that face the water.

[Cruisin' Chick]

I hope you don't have to have booked a certain class of cabin to be able to swing. That would be a shame.

Usually swingers come from all classes and all walks in life.
