Banks822 Posted June 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Have any of ever rented a cabana? Are they worth the price? If yes, how long before the cruise did you book it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthomaniac Posted June 30, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yes. Yes. At time of booking, 7 months out. Sent from my XT1030 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon1 Posted June 30, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Worth every penny. Book as soon as they become available, they sell out very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregonjuli Posted July 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 2, 2015 If the cabanas are sold out online, once you board the ship go to shore excursion desk and ask if they have a waitlist. We did this last week and they had 1 available and we got to pick out our cabana. #3 Loved it. Would totally do it again. Made it the PERFECT beach day!

SolidGoldCruiser Posted July 2, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Hello. We will be going to HMC for the 1st time in Oct and have booked a cabana. I understand that we need to go to the Shore X desk upon boarding the ship to choose our location. We would like to get a cabana further up the beach (away from the music and activities) but my husband has mobility issues. How far would we be able to ride the tram? The map of HMC shows the tram track ending at the Tropics Restaurant. Does it go any further - say to Cabana #10 for instance? Any advice/info would be much appreciated.

Anthomaniac Posted July 2, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Tram track goes the whole way to the horseback excursion area. 10 is a good choice, near the bathrooms iirc Sent from my XT1030 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidGoldCruiser Posted July 2, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Exactly what I needed to know..........thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwaz Posted July 2, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 2, 2015 SolidGoldCruiser, if your husband has mobility issues, let the booking desk know. Mine does as well and so does my DSIL. Terrain and distance were a concern. We were able to reserve a specific villa after talking to the office for accessiblity. That is not quite the right title. But someone will help you once you find them. Sent from my LG-D801 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyaxn Posted August 8, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Thank you for the info I have mobility issues also. My knees are shot I just got gel shots in both my knees today .Are the cabanas real expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyaxn Posted August 13, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I think I might get the butler option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwaz Posted August 13, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2015 If I remember correctly, the cabanas are $299 and the villas were $499. My prices may be out of date;that was last year. This is pretty expensive., I know. But we were able to get Villa E and we could take the tram right to the back door with not too much walking.

CruiserBruce Posted September 6, 2015 #17 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Butler Butler upgrade is only available on Holland America visits to HMC. We have had butler several times. Do you have a specific question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyaxn Posted September 6, 2015 #18 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Did you feel the butler option was worth the money for what you got ?Also if your ship is at Hmc From 6am to 6pm how long do you have the cabana for until you have to re board the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 6, 2015 #19 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Yes, the Butler upgrade is a lot of fun and a great way to help you enjoy your cabana. The meal the upgrade gets you is excellent. Don't forget the unlimited booze. A 12 hour scheduled stop is unheard of. That may get reduced. In any case, the longest we have been there is 8-4, and a Butler upgrade was quite worth it for that stay. The cabana is yours for the entire time you are at HMC. You can be on the first tender ashore, and the last tender back. Edited September 6, 2015 by CruiserBruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseyaxn Posted September 6, 2015 #21 Share Posted September 6, 2015 That sounds well worth it especially how long we will be there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brepri_h Posted September 8, 2015 #22 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Definitely worth the price. It's been my entire families favorite "excursion" to to date. We booked as soon as we booked the cruise. There aren't that many cabanas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyaxn Posted September 8, 2015 #23 Share Posted September 8, 2015 We will book as soon as we can .Cruise over a year awY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolman11 Posted September 8, 2015 #24 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I was able to reserve a cabana for my 10/9/16 Pride cruise. This was sometime in late August 2015. So the info about them not being available until 7 months out does not seem to be the case anymore. Check it out if you have not done so lately.
