Hi, we will be traveling with someone who will need a wheelchair to get from the pier to (hopefully) a cabana. Are all the paths shown on the map, paved? I think they end at steps, then all sand from thee bottom of the steps, correct? Trying to plan which cabana to try for. We need to be near a bathroom. Thanks for any comments.

Commonly discussed here, Cabana #1 is the one designed to be accessible. It has a sidewalk to it, and a ramp. Otherwise, yes, many of the paths away from the central compound are sand. The compound, including the food area and "town square" is concrete (or pavers, something like that). The walk ways to the beach immediately adjacent to the town square are concrete, but, IIRC, they come to stairs quickly, and then sand.

 

If you were on HAL, you would want to purchase the #1 cabana, as soon as it is available. As you are on Carnival, not sure how you assure you get cabana #1. There has been mentioned a "sand wheelchair" with balloon tires, although haven't seen it mentioned much lately.

With Carnival you have to go to the excursion desk when you board to get your cabana assigned, so it's pot luck. But thank you for telling me that is the one we want to get.
