I am an avid cruiser and this is how you can win the sunberm wars on board – including a controversial towel hack

The sunrise almost to a lounger can make a cruise vacation day or break … Those who get an unhappy risk, sit in an uncomfortable place or get a bed with a gloomy view.

One serial cruisefan has shared their top tips to win the Sun Lounger Wars on P&Os Arvia on TIktok – Including a controversial hack for guaranteeing your place in the sun.

@Solotravel1974 placed a five -ways clip to ‘beat the crowds and actually enjoy your sea day’ On the popular holiday.

The ship was launched in 2022 and is described as ideal for ‘families, couples and newcomers’; It has swimming bars, landing swimming pools and the retractable skydome – but it can be with the dawn elbows when it comes to getting an excellent place.

The images that are shared by @Solotravel1974 showed how busy the ship can be at peak times, with dozens of people who share a cover space with Wang-Door-Jowl with loungers.

The first advice, in particular applicable on ‘sea days and school holidays’, is to switch on your heel and to avoid the most popular areas, including the swimming pools, Deck 16 and the Skydome area, which are wrapped ‘at 9 hours’.

The fervent fan of Cruise Holiday said that many people still used the proven and tested Sun Lounger method to leave their towels and then disappear for hours before they arrived in the afternoon to enjoy the best time of the day.

Much, they added, just ignore plates on board that say that items are removed if nobody returns to the Ligond within 30 minutes to free them to someone else.

However, the only advice that you can take on a one -way path to a holiday friction is: “don’t be afraid to move towels” or ask staff to do it for you.

They have subtitled the video: ‘If it has been clearly hours and nobody has returned … you can speak with a crew member. Sun Bedhogging is against the rules – even if nobody forces it. ‘

Looking for the lesser -known places of the ship, including smaller solar sound areas on deck 8, are also presented as a wise idea for those who look for a little peace and quiet, and also with deck 19, which is often overlooked, the video reports.

Other tips were booking the retreat, one for adults of the ship who has lovers in a shady place – but warned that bookings can happen up to a year in advance, so tourists have to plan well to secure a bed.

And if you really can’t beat them, then it is advice to participate in the Early Risers Club. Some cruisers are with towels in their hand at 6 o’clock in the morning. ”

The crowded scenes of the video evoked a strong reaction of those who watched it, with one person who said, “My idea of ​​hell, trapped at sea with others in the vicinity.”

Another told their own experiences on the ship and said: ‘We were in Arvia at Christmas in the Caribbean; People were in bags in the bags – arguments everywhere at 5 in the morning – never again! ‘

Others said they had not seen the sunbed are described in the clip, with a cruise tourist who said: ‘We were at Arvia at Christmas in the Caribbean people at 5 o’clock in the pockets – arguments everywhere – never again! ‘

Earlier this week, Carnival Cruise Line gave a warning to passengers who participated in an unsafe balcony trend on his cruise ships.

An image of a few relaxed on a mattress on their cruise ship balcony recently went viral. The couple seemed to have dragged their bedding to the balcony so that they could read their books outside.

In another incident, Sarah Goodwin filmed herself who dragged her mattress to the balcony and other cruisers told them that they would not regret it. “

But other passengers were less than impressed by the behavior of Goodwin, in which one person in a cruise group said: “That is a big no no. I find it incredibly disrespectful. ‘

Another person added: ‘You will do it [regret it] When your mattress is covered with salt and damp from the damp air and I bet that the cruise company does not like so much for that reasons. ‘

And now Carnival Cruise Line’s ambassador John Heal has explained what the brand really thinks of mattressbalkons.

In a social media, the ambassador warned: ‘That is not permitted for security reasons, cleanliness reasons, for all sorts of reasons.

‘You can’t take your mattress and put it on your balcony. Don’t do it. Just not. ‘

John Heal said that passengers are not allowed to take their mattress to their hut balcony

John also spoke a few other passenger questions about cruise ship balconies. The ambassador said that some guests had written him to complain about other passengers who sleep open with their balcony door.

The complaining guests had argued that it was ‘selfish’ when it put the air conditioning in other huts.

But John said that is just a rumor and sleeping with an open balcony door has no influence on the air conditioning.

“Some people have said that passengers who open the balcony door of their hut is selfish because it is selling air conditioning for other huts in that area,” said John.

“That’s not true. Regardless of those who say it is, I have attached the highest level, the most important engineers on the ships, and they confirm that it only switches the air conditioning off in your cabin and does not affect the people around you. ‘.
