    Chair Hogs

    What do you do if you can't find an available deck chair? And you notice that there are books and towels draped over several of the chairs but these passengers are not to be seen for hours...

    We are not sun worshippers, so we look for chairs in the shade. Sometimes those are hard to come by, too!

    Having our own balcony provides endless hours of sitting by the ocean without the noisy crowds and blaring PA system.

    I LOVE the sun, so I usually get out to the deck early BUT on the rare occasion I am searching, I just come back later...No need to get upset over a chair hog...it's vacation! Eventually you can find a chair or see someone getting ready to leave and the I hover until they move

    Voted Other. At the main pool area w/band where we like to go ... we often sit at the bar.

    If not at the bar, we like the tables with straight chairs in the shade close to the bar. Smoking helps! Smokers are VERY welcoming to other smokers so even if these tables are occupied but have extra chairs ... someone will always ask us to join them when they see we are holding a pack of cigarettes.

    I don't spend much time sat out and can usually find somewhere to sit when I do want to sit outside. But I know someone who moved the items and sat for a while, and since no one came to claim them, he took them to the purser's desk and handed them in as lost property.

    Yup, me too we could be related??!!

    Honestly, I dont care about sitting out in the sun. I dont like to sit there having to listen to the dreadful music either. I much prefer a nice quiet area of the Promenade deck or our balcony.

    If it looks like a good book, I will steal it and take it back to my balcony and enjoy it. Stupid chair hogs
