Reserving is okay if you are going to use them within 20 minutes. Going to eat and coming back is okay but, leaving for an hour or more is not.
I am on team Jared. As a frequent cruiser, I am tired of seeing prime location empty chairs covered with books etc. for a complete day. Especially on port days when all of a sudden after a day in port, the chairs become occupied by those who have been away from the ship for most of the day. This is selfish and unacceptable! There should definitely be a set time limit. There are many video cameras in the pool area. Hogged chairs should be monitored and appropriate action like the removal and safe storage of all goods should not only be implemented, but enforced.
There are too many entitled people in the world. There is no place for them on cruise ships.
I mostly agree with Jared. I don’t like it when people reserve a chair at 7am and don’t come back until 10 or 11. But I also think it is ok to leave ur stuff on a chair while u go get food
Team Jared. It’s so frustrating to finally get out there in the morning and all the “good” chairs are reserved by someone who isn’t even around.
100% team Jared! I think a crewmember should remove items left on a chair for more than 30 minutes,
Team Jared. My family always puts our stuff on one or two chairs and take it when we leave the pool area. We have struggled finding even one chair to use as a family since the cruise industry has gone back to full capacity. We even ran into an issue on our last cruise where the only thing on a chair was a balled up towel from the cruise line. My son asked a crew member if he could use the chair and they cleared the towel and said they hadn’t seen anyone in the chair for at least an hour. About 30 minutes later some guy walks up and said he was sitting there. My son stood his ground and told him that the crew cleared it since it had been empty for so long. He was mad, but walked away. I definitely agree that if you aren’t there you shouldn’t have a chair and unless you are tanning your family can share. If all you are going to do is tan then use a chair on the sun deck. Sorry everyone, but the chair hogs need to be stopped. I do love the idea of cubbies. I would totally use that for my stuff!
#Team Jared. Use a pool bag or backpack & share a chair for your group stuff so if someone in your group wants to take a break from the pool they can slide your stuff under the chair while using it.
Team Jared. It's not right for people to reserve chairs then walk away for who knows how long, to have them available for their convenience, taking that comfort away from someone who comes to the area needing a chair. People pay a lot for a cruise. Everyone deserves as great an experience as possible. #TeamJared
I totally agree with Jared!!!! You should use the chairs while there. Why would you think you can reserve a chair all day and not be there. People do it off cruise ships also. Go team Jared.
If you're using the pool area, cool, keep your stuff on your chair. If you get there at 6am to reserve a chair without any plans to go to the pool until the afternoon, that's an issue.
If you've left to run back to your room for something, no problem.
If you've gone for lunch or to go have a nap, free up the chair for someone who is actually at the pool!
#teamjared
Team Jordan!! so long as you are actively up on the ledo deck using the facilities you have a right to reserve a chair- for as long as you want! you DO NOT however have a right to hold a chair all day from 4am so it's there for your 2h afternoon swim at 2pm although you are elsewsre on the ship for the remainder of the day. 😃

I traveled to the Mediterranean frequently. Pool chair hogging was becoming a hotly debated issue. Fight’s we’re breaking out over it!
Hotels decided to put an end to it. Every morning all the “lonely” towels and whatever else was left unattended was removed by hotel staff.
All for it! I can’t reserve my favorite slot machine or table at buffet 🤷♀️
TEAM JARED! Chair hogs suck. I have a friend that even at a land resort wakes her husband up at 6 AM every day to put their crap on chairs. It's a "me me" world. Maybe cruise lines should put parking meters on chairs and fine folks...haha.
100% Team Jared on this one! I've seen chairs unoccupied for several hours. That's ridicules.
Team Jared, all the way. this reminds me of the friends episode at the laundramat w/ Rachel & Ross! It's rude, entitled and selfish. If I left my clothes in the dryer/washer, and the cycle was outside a reasonable time (like 15 min), it was perfectly OK for someone to move my laundry. The lawn chairs are no different. Sorry Jordan. This comes down to humanity and being kind to each other. #teamjared #loveyouguys
Team Jared!! Have your items on a chair while you are in the pool or run to the bathroom but if you are leaving to go do other things then take your items with you and let someone else have use of the chair.
Team Jared for me! You can't go down in the morning at 6am and go back to bed and then go for breakfast, arriving at your reserved chair at 10am. however, you should be able to leave it and go into the pool, go to the burger bar, or to to the buffet at lunchtime (for a reasonable time - less than 1hr)
Definitely team Jared on this. So frustrating! I get up early myself but would never reserve more than one chair. My husband comes down when he wants it for the most part with me.
I get up early and SIT in my chair, I do grab one next to mine for my partner who sleeps in later. I am in my chair all day unless I walk over to put my feet in the pool. If I go to the buffet I usually bring the plate back to the pool. I have witnessed people doing just what you described. They put a towel and magazine on the chair and walk away. They will wonder back hours later. I would be happy to reserve a chair if they offered. I have gotten on a ship and tried to get into the sanctuary so that I could reserve with no avail. Great conversation, unfortunately it will continue.
#TeamJared. I like the idea of everyone tossing their items on one chair. That’s what we do. But I have seen a lot of people take prime seats and leave their stuff there for hours with out using the chair. If you are going to do that pick a chair away from everything else.
We get our chairs and get in and out of the pool through out of the day. If we leave the pool area we take our stuff and leave the chair for the next guy but do not give up our chair when we get into the pool.
#TeamJared!! lol on the Group Cruise Melissa Shared her Chair with us, so we could at least put our towels and belongings so we could get in the pool😀. I have experienced walking around the pool deck looking for a chair and they are all taking with THINGS not people. lol Maybe compromise or Solution...After an hour of emptiness things should be removed and kept safe so that others waiting can sit.
Team Jared. It's not fair that early risers can monopolize chairs for entire day. The late risers also paid to have a poolside experience. Cruise lines should find a way to limit chair usage to say...3-4 hours max (if there's a "line" of folks waiting). Perhaps some sort of reservation system.
Team Jared!! It's not right for 1 person to hog the chair for the entire day!
I agree a cubby system would be great for the people in the pool or hot tubs…those that go for a smoke or go eat…take a dump or nap….team Jared!
I agree with most people. Don't put a towel in the chair at 7:00 but don't intend ti come to the pool till 10 or 11. You only get a chair if you're on it or in the pool. Team Jared
Team Jared! Maybe they should have a system like a parking meter but with an "away timer" 😂
I gotta say I’m with Team Jared on this one but I’m not mad at you Jordan! 🤣 Don’t fight, fellas. I want you to keep making videos! 🤣
You two are amazing. Take good care of each other and yourselves. Much love
Team Jared. Especially after seeing people argue over saved chairs cause one saved them and left it for over an hour. Saving while you’re there or stepping away for like 30 minutes is fine.
leaving your stuff on ONE pool chair is OK, Leaving lots of crap on many pool chairs is NEVER OK. If you know you will not be back to your chair for over an hour, give it up.
If you are going to use the pool chair fine. However if you claim a chair, leave and don't use it for several hours then no.
Omg yes. I woke up to watch the sunrise on the cruise and watched this couple come down and place towels on 6 pool side chairs.. they went to go eat bfast.. It was 2 hrs later and they still hadn’t come back. I let the workers know and they removed all the towels.
We were on a cruise where the pool deck crew would put a card on a chair if the chair is reserved. 30 minutes later the deck hand would come back and take the stuff away if the chair is still unoccupied. Then the people would have to go claim their stuff. People were so angry when their stuff got taken.
I'm mostly with Jared on this one. But it's a tough one! We were just on the Apex in Scandinavia, and it wasn't busy enough at any point for all the chairs to be taken, so it was fine. However, when cruising gets more & more back to normal, I agree that you should have to be in the area at all times. Sorry to say Jordan, but it's just greedy taking a chair for the whole day, even if you wake up at the crack of dawn :P.
I feel like if you're swimming/at the pool bar,/on the deck then it's fine that you have your things on the chair. However, if you're physically not on the pool deck, then no chair for you.
I will say, I haven't had so much of a problem with this on cruises, but All-Inclusives are notorious for this and it drove me nuts. No one needs to be at the pool/beach the ENTIRE day.
I TOTALLY Agree w/ You Jared!!!!! Those kinds of people should BRING THEIR OWN CHAIR! That pool chair DOESN'T belong to U!!!!
I agree with Jared. It's just common courtesy.
Jared, I agree. I went really early to get into the pool and did not find a single chair. All the pool chairs were reserved. It was so frustrating.
This is tricky! Royal Carribean tends to enforce the saving chairs policy! If stuff is on chair for more than 30 mins and never used, they remove your things. If you intend to use it and bring back food then fine. When people hold chairs all day and never use it is the one that makes me boil! Its selfish!
Love you too Jordan! No offense buddy!!
Team Jared 100%
Once again a cruise video that is different from the others out there, funny, and informative at the same time. Just loving your channel so much. You two are honest, funny, and real.
I believe you are correct in that’s the problem is more so when a person reserved a bunch of chairs that no one intended to use to begin with. It’s inconsiderate to the other passengers.
Also I love how each of you have your own background music❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Honestly I’m in between. I don’t agree with waking up early saving chairs but at the same time I understand saving a chair. But it’s not fair to save that chair and not use it. Soon they are going to figure out a way to stop this.
Yes Jared, I agree with you. I've gone down by the pool and there's nobody down there with their chair. If you're going to eat, have somebody go get it your partner go get it and bring it back to you
Guys! Love each other more than finding a chair. You'll end up sitting by yourself! Where's the joy in that? Eat before you get a seat. Relationshhip is much more important than staking out ones turf by the pool....defer to kindness. Get more with honey than with vinegar! Team Jordan deserves to be at peace with Team Jared!!!!
Team Jordan!! If you are planning to have an all day pool day and will be getting in and out of the pool, there is nothing wrong with steaking out a chair. Now, I don't agree with someone saving a chair and never using it or saving it and being gone to take a nap.
Jared im with you i hate the fact people do that.....in fact if i wana sit down i look around and if i see no one i will move there towel and relax.
Team Jared! It's ok to leave for 15 minutes or 30 minutes (in the pool, go grab a bite), but leaving for 1 hour or more, no! It's bloquing people that want to use it right now. Was on a cruise in april, and the serenity deck was full of chair hogger! No place for the people who want to enjoy it now. I always have a beach back with me. #TeamJared
#TeamJared Just because someone gets up early doesn’t entitle them to reserve a chair for the day.
No reserving pool chairs for an entire day you aren't even going to be using!
We're "Team Jared" on this issue of common courtesy, but no longer have to deal with those who see life through different lenses. We're blessed to be able to sail in suites and enjoy the amenities [space and lounge chairs among other perks] provided.
I agree with Jared
I always put my sun screen sail and sing card but i also bring to any beach or pool in a hotel
TEAM JARED: if you are using the pool you can use a chair. If you are out doing other stuff take your stuff with you. Just like you dont get to go in the morning and put your stuff in a chair on the front row for a show that night. Jordan I dont for one minute believe you feel this way.....but it makes a great vlog!!!! Love you guys!!!
Team Jared here! Putting you stuff down and leaving it for 50 min is too long!🥵
It's a POOL chair. If you're using the pool or food and drink options next to the pool, grab a chair. If you're going inside for trivia or to watch a movie in your cabin, let the chair go. Cubbies would be a great alternative, but I've never seen those. Now Jared, I reserved a chair using a broken Ray-Ban lens once and underwear a couple of times, and I'm shocked that you brought that up in a video, so for that reason, I'm #TeamJordan all the way. 😜
Im loving Jonathan’s face, but I agree with Jared
I hardly go to the pool area and get a lounge chair. But when I do I get in the water for a while, then get out and just sit and go back in again. When I’m done I pick up my stuff and leave. From your discussion I would be concerned if my items were taken/removed while I’m enjoying the pool.
One of the reasons I don’t do this very often is because I can’t not only get a lounger by the pool, but even all the chairs are taken!
Oh my god you two are hilaious.
Oh, and #teamjared.
There aren't enough chairs/loungers on the ships for everybody to have one, so you should share.
Good debate! The only reason I set an early alarm is to see arrival into port haha! Saving a chair at any time other than when you are actively using one (restroom, grab drink/snack, pool dip ok) is plain inconsiderate and should be better monitored by staff. It is quite obvious when someone quietly places several towels at 6am and walks away and it should be bye-bye towels (it would take 1 monitor to oversee each morning). I like the deposits on towels some lines have as I think it discourages leaving one and risk having to pay to recieve another. Sure you can leave personal items, but many don't want to risk those stolen. Anyway #TeamJared
#teamjared
I agree with Jared. I think that cruise ship staff need to better monitor the number of chairs that can be "saved" and the length of time they can be saved.
Team J&J
When sunning and swimming ok to have chair. When leaving the area give up your chair.
Would be nice if there were enough pool chairs for all. That said...Took our 79-year-old Dad on a cruise. He could walk, but not far without his walker. We got him a chair which he enjoyed for a few hours. We then walked with him to let his feet/legs into the pool a bit. When we came back someone had (not too nicely) tossed his things, walker included) aside and put their stuff on it, but were nowhere to be seen. Hubby nicely removed their items from the pool chair and hung them over the railing. When they came back, they started yelling at Dad that he had no right to move their stuff and were trying to pull him up and out of the chair. OMG, As I rounded the bar area I saw this happening. That woman lost a bit of hair while I was pulling her off my Dad. Of course, Security ended up in the mix. When the people sitting in chairs around my Dad told them what the so-called woman had been trying to pull Dad out of the chair all the while cursing like a trucker, Security realized I was trying to defend Dad and removed the *itch and her man friend from the area. So while agreeing it's a pain in the arse when all the chairs are "reserved", in Dad's case seeing a walker laid over the chair - anybody in their right mind should have reasoned out that a person with a handicap was in need of that chair. Maybe the ships should add some handicapped chairs for those in need.
Justified and understandable.
In this case I agree with reserving the chair. How dare she though...He had no right to remove her things. She had no right to remove your dad's walker.
OMG that is so terrible. People these days feel so entitled it's disgusting
Wow! It was clear that someone elderly needed the chair. Just like on a bus or train we should give a chair to those clearly in need.
That is totally insane. Sounds like they were drunk! I hope security dealt with them as deserved.
#TeamJordan but just one chair each; no group chair reservations.
I just got off the Harmony and many people had reserved chairs but never sat in them because they spent the whole day in the pool. I agree that a group should put their belongings on just one chair. If the chair is occupied he/she could sit on the edge of the pool until the chair belongs available.
Team Jared!! If you are in the pool and enjoying the deck, use a chair. If you want to grab a bite to eat and you're coming right back (not in an hour or 2 or 3), save your chair. When you're going to be gone an extended time, give that chair up. If you are going to get up at 7:00 am to save a chair, you need to have your butt in the pool at 7:00 am.
I will be Diamond after my next cruse in September and after all my cruses I’ve never had the good timing to get a chair.
i have never used a pool chair! i leave flip flops and towel on side of pool get in pool cool off and get out and then go to pool bar and sit to dry off!
I think it's fine to reserve the chairs.
Just be sure to use the chairs! If you plan to be there for the day, it's essential to have seats together.
If you take up chairs and don't use them, or use them for an hour mid afternoon, that is what I have a problem with. Then you shouldn't of saved a seat.
Team Jared! i'm with you .
I agree with Jared don't reserve the chairs if you aren't using them. It's just as bad as when I drop my kids off at the grocery store to sit in a prime parking spot for when I get off work.
I’m usually on deck before my husband. So I’ll keep one beside me until he gets there. But when we leave for lunch they both are up for grabs. But we are on the suite deck, so chairs are limited. I don’t expect to have “ the chairs “ for the day! However I have seen chairs “reserved” and I’ve never seen anyone seated all day!
The cubby thing is an awesome idea. I really never need an actual lounge chair because I am always chasing my kids around the pool deck, rarely do i get a chance to relax. I would love to be able to throw our bag in a cubby instead of taking up a lounger.
Jared is right. Glad I could help.
We go to water parks often and will “claim” one chair for our whole family of five for the day. It’s also a check in point if anyone gets lost or needs anything. As for cruising we will again use one chair and will only claim it for that particular swim/Play session
#TeamJared... again. That being said - I feel like the only seat savers that are wrong are the ones who come down, throw stuff on half a dozen chairs in prime spots right next to the pool and then leave the area for hours on end without ever actually using the chairs or the pool. My personal solution to this is just not to use the main pool on sea days. I can usually find a decent spot at one of the smaller pools if the ship has them
Team Jared 👍🏿
I agree it’s not fair to hold a chair and you don’t come back, especially in the solarium.
Team Jared on this one
My family and I avoid the pool deck on sea days because of not being able to find a chair. We started using the adult only areas, but they can get crowded too. So we go to the pool at port days when we stay on the ship. I believe that both of you have good points, but if no one hogged the chairs on a cruise ship, you wouldn’t be talking about it! Be kind and share. If you are done, then take your stuff and leave so someone else can use it. Then if you decide to return later, look for another place to sit. That’s what we have done.
No worries for a short time BUT some reserve 1 in the sun or 1 in the shade. Some reserve for when they get back from an excursion!
I hate it when people leave their used towel when they leave. You have to guess if they have gone and then remove their used towel!
Jared is RIGHT!!!! There is a difference between saving it for an hour and hours. No no no
I agree with Jared. I say you either have to actually be in the pool or a 30 minute “abandonment” time limit.
Reserving a pool chair is fine if, for example:
You drop your stuff on the chair, go get some food or a drink or hit the head, and come right back.
You leave the chair to get in the pool for a bit, and come right back to the chair. If you spend most of your time in the pool, don’t reserve a chair.
You reserve a chair for yourself and maybe a significant other, but not your whole family reunion.
#Team neither one of you. You both have some good points.
No one should be allowed to hold a chair for more than 20”. Crew members should monitor and enforce. Bring a beach bag if you have anything to put up while swimming.#teamjared
I have to agree with you Jerrod ! Too many people put their stuff there and disappear for hours! It is also against policy even though its not enforced.
Unless you're bringing a personal chair from home, you don't have a "right" to a chair - just because you choose to get up at the crack of dawn to get one and leave personal items on it until you're ready to use it. 🤨 #teamjared
#TeamJared for sure as long as I can be in the pool or bathroom or getting a drink without losing the spot. Maybe a 20 minute away maximum?
Team Jared! I dont agree with reserving chairs. I dont lounge by the pool for long periods of time but I would like a chair for 30 minutes to an hour to watch events or get a little sun. I wake early and certainly could reserve a chair for the full day but I dont feel that is the right thing to do knowing I will not be sitting in it for the majority of the day.
That's reasonable. I'm an early riser naturally and I would want to sit by the pool when it's quiet with no one around and sip my coffee and such.
I will take my first cruise in March 2023 and after hearing all of this. I will go swimming when they first allow people too. I can't be out there in the sun all day with a crowd of people. I can hit the thermal spa afterwards.
I agree somewhat with both. I am one that will get up and get a chair, then run to breakfast but always back within 30 minutes. I never am gone longer than that. What really annoys me is when we get up early to go find a shady spot on an island, etc and then a couple hours later people come and grab chairs to sit under our umbrella. I don't like people being that close. Why didn't they come early? This happened on our last Disney cruise--we were one of the first at Serenity bay and a couple hours later this couple pulled up a couple loungers and came up under our umbrella. Ugh!
Reserving a chair is ok if it is not left unattended very long. 1hr?
The problem is that it is not monitored or enforced.
I feel the same Jared. Sorry Jordan 😂
Team Jared. If you are not in the area your save is limiting availability for those who are. If you allow the natural flow.....your available chair will show up when you are ready......just as it did for those who came before or after. Not everyone is ever at any one place all at the same time. That is the joy of cruise.
I very rarely sit around the pool, but I am with Jared
#TeamJared 100000%. I didn’t use the pool on our recent Alaskan Cruise. But I saw the chair hogs, and wasn’t impressed. I would totally get a crew member to remove belongings if those chairs were vacant for more than 30 minutes. Being considerate and thoughtful of others should be a given in public spaces.
Totally Team Jared on this one!
Team Jared! 😊Reserving a chair should not be allowed unless you paid for the reservation. The pool chairs are free for everyone and everyone should have a turn each day to use the chairs and sit by the pool. I’m sailing independence of the seas in December for my birthday cruise. I paid and reserved a day bed at perfect day at cocco cay for the entire day. That way my family and I can Enjoy the reservation all day. Rules should be followed so everyone base a turn.
Glad I don't hang at the pool! If I did...it's reasonable to keep your chair while you're in the pool, grabbing a drink, using the restroom, getting snacks you'll eat by pool... it's not okay to save it while you go elsewhere to eat, play bingo, take a nap in your cabin... basically 15-20 minutes away from your chair is reasonable IMO
If you are going to be in that area and regularly going back to the chair then it's all good. Once you walk away from that area for more than 5 minutes take your crap with you #TeamJared
