I thought you might have filled in until my arrival, Bruce.

If I had a nickel for every time I have mentioned this, I would be rich.

Any Cabana is better than no cabana at all.

Anything a few inches in length will work. A ruler, branch etc. You just want to create some cross ventilation inside the clam shell.

Anything you have onboard can be brought to the island.

The island is merely an extension of the ship.

They are available.

Keep n mind, the island is is only 2,400 acres. 50 acres have been developed. A leisurely walk might accomplish the same as a bike ride. That would give you a 50 acre area...

Based on past experiences, we have seen the fruit offerings differ each time. Whole fruits, sliced pineapple, melons etc. It's probably a matter of what the ship has in stock.

Massages can be arranged onboard the ship at the spa. They are given in the massage cabana on the beach.

Prices are the same as they would be on the ship.

They are available at the Shore Ex desk. Also, online if you are sailing HAL. I strongly recommend reserving one in advance as they do sell very quickly.

As Bruce mentioned, only one cruise line at a time. If there is going to be another ship, it would be a HAL ship.

If not, you get the entire island to yourselves.

There are plenty of shade trees, drag a few lounge chairs and make yourself comfortable.

Clamshells are another alternative to cabanas. Two lounges are provided with each clamshell.

It will be warmer than wherever your home is.
