      And that entitles you???  I've paid more than that for some of my cruises and I don't and won't reserve chairs because it is rude...  No one has manners any more, it's all about me me me me.........  some of us are up earlier than that, doing other things (i.e gym?), morning activities and having fun not worrying about the people that seem to think that their chair is their chair and I have to explain to my son why we can't set by the pool why he swims because there are empty ones with just towels.  Oh but wait you paid for that chair and we didn't right????  Thank you, now I understand.

      Let me see.  There are some that believe if they leave their stuff on a chair for extended periods of time while they go around eating lunch or gathering other people that this is okay?  Guess mom and dad never taught you to share?    I suppose if you were in a supermarket and forgot some items, you should keep your place in line too until you race around and pick up what you forgot?  What if the folks that had early dining decided to stake claim to their dinner chair, after all they will be back in it tomorrow?  While we are at it, why don't we just all find our favorite seat in the show lounges and hang on to them for the entire cruise. 

       Keep spatting about lounge chairs and I am sure Carnival will find a way to charge by the hour for them.

      I do like the idea of collecting towels though. Heck one can never have too many carnival pool towels... won't be on my bill!

      I wasn't joking.  On one cruise I had like five beach towels laying in the floor when the room steward came by.  He looked at me kind of funny, saw several of the ones allotted to my room still nicely folded and in their little wrapper thing and just smiled.  I asked him if I could get a credit on my bill and he just picked up the towels still smiling and headed down the corridor to his little cart.

      I would have taken the two in the wrappers home in my suitcase. The other ones covered the two you were responsible for leaving there twice over +.

      Smitty, I already had a couple from a previous cruise.  They are getting pretty ratty now, so my next cruise I hope there are some people leaving their towels and heading to breakfast. LOL

      You cruise often, do you have any EXTRAS laying around the house?

      LOL now there is a thought!. If we all bring our own they can leave the ships lounge chairs stacked in a corner! That way, we can say "that is MY chair"  Actually, I can't ever remember lounging by the pool on any cruise so far, but doesn't mean I may not on my next one.  And I certainly wouldn't want the lounges used as towel racks!

      Actually, three of the folks who used our shower at our cabana in June left their towels hanging on our deck and ran to the dock when the rain started. So, we have two in PA and one here in Richmond. I may find a few abandoned on deckchairs next month. If I do, I'll bring you a couple Top Deck.

      If i pay my money for this cruise then i will use any chair i want and i will lay my towel on it and nobody better touch it. I will be gone all day and when i do come back i will have my chair or some snot nose brat will be on his buttocks. I pay alot to have that luxury. If you dont like it then tough tulips.

      Oh, I won't take your CHAIR Carlos, just your towel. LOL

       

      I do pity the poor soul that is now in your chair when you come back.  Hope he is 6' 1"" and plays linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens.  It might get interesting.
