HMC Cabana 13 review

We were on the Carnival Victory from Canaveral.

Our first stop was HMC.

The Victory was scheduled to leave Canaveral at 6pm, due to ship ongoing ship improvements. I purchased FttF, so I could get on board early enough to pick a cabana far enough down the beach away from the crowds..

We were able to get #13 with#11&12 being our first choices

we were on the first tender and on the island by 8 am

They drove us to our cabana in an open air truck,then slowly they brought the supply's to the cabana

exactly what we expected from seeing other reviews:)

yes Im very sunburnt:eek:

the only downside was that the shower did not work

someone broke the pvc pipe to the spray fan so they turned off the water. I tried turning it back on (small valve just past hose bib) but the water streamed on deck towards the electrical outlet..

so no shower.. one of the reasons i booked :( I wanted to be able to wash the salt water off me then change into shorts and not wear a

saltwater-infused wet bathing suit

beautiful Island going back on our feb cruise

would get a cabana againt to have relief from the sun

someone who goes there, please tell me they fixed the pipe..at 2:30 pm they were looking for something to repair it, but they were on island time

Thank you. I can't wait to get our reserved cabana. Thanks for posting!

here are a few more pics i took

can't beat the view

the bar, taken from the tender, on our way back to the ship

sorry this is so backlit..but it shows you how close the next cabanas are

Very nice. Knowing what you know now, would you still pict #13 or would you opt for another cabana? I would like to be close enough to the music and bathrooms however I don't want to be around a lot of people hanging around.

Thanks for sharing your pictures!

We went to the excursion desk with a list in our heads of which cabana's in order we wanted.

With 11 then 12 being first. 13, 14 & 15 are so close together I don't think it really matters.

I read that the crew tends to gather right past 15 and can play loud music. We saw some of that. But they were a bit down the beach.

If you want to hear the music from bar, and be near the restrooms, I might try 7 or 8. But the lower the number, the closer to the dock, the more people between your cabana and the water.

We had prob 50 or so chairs in our vicinity.. Maybe 10 had people in them.

Good perspective. Thnx

We had cabana 13 also and loved it - would pick it again. Great location.

we are going back in February and I'm going to try to get enough people to rent the villa right next to cabana 13... I think that is villa "D"

We had Villa D last year Scottie and it was AWESOME! Great location.
