Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival Cruise Line has basically said absolutely not to the idea of charging for prime pool loungers.

No paid chair reservations, not now, probably not ever.

If your towel, book, or random flip-flop are holding a chair for more than 40 minutes and you know it to be found, well, the crew can clear it.

So, if you want that prime Lido deck spot, set your alarm and move fast.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Set your alarm early to secure a prime pool deck spot.
Be aware that crew can clear chairs left unattended for more than 40 minutes.
