srsh1 Posted August 5, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Don't see this listed under the Shore Excursions - are they only available to obtain once on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurelius180 Posted August 5, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Apparently they're available to suite guests first and then what's remaining to everyone else once onboard. Although I have read recently that some non-suite guests have been able to book pre-cruise online. I have not seen them available online for my upcoming cruise.

QTMichele Posted August 5, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Just off Monarch on Friday... Cabanas and clamshells were not available online for us. We were put on a waiting list - suite guests first, then first come first served. We received the family cabana at $150 for the day. Other cabanas were cheaper. Royal is building the nicer, Labadee style cabanas, but they aren't ready for rental yet. Included in the cabana rentals: fruit plate, 4 large bottled waters, bottle of champagne, upgraded buffet, upgraded loungers, and towels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2thesea Posted August 5, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Question? We are in a Grand Suite - 3 of us and I have my daughter and friend in another cabin.....can I reserve 1 cabana for all five us? and the $150 will cover that total for all?

foxesden1 Posted August 5, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Do you have photos of the family cabana? Does anyone know when they will able to be rented? And where on earth could you book them online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted August 5, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2012 2thesea Yes, you will all enjoy the cabana When you check in as a group, your name will be on the reservation board. If part of your group arrives at a different time, just leave their names. Enjoy Safe travels Sue and crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QTMichele Posted August 5, 2012 #9 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I have photos, but I'm not home yet and forgot to bring the cord to connect my camera to my laptop. I'll post in the next few days. My guess is the the new cabanas will be available to book online when/if your cruise is far enough away. Maybe I'm wrong though? Really, I have no idea what the reality is other than my own experience. Lol The family cabana is for 5, but they let us bring 7. Three were my kids, and I think that made a difference. They even brought extra loungers up to the area in front of our cabana for the kids to use. Our cabana included 5 upgraded loungers. There are other cabanas available - I believe they held 4 people.

2thesea Posted August 5, 2012 #10 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Seems that even though I'm in a suite I can't book a cabana now for my Dec2 FOS cruise. Wonder if they are sold out already OR maybe I am trying to book too soon? The message stats inquire on board :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleonwater Posted August 5, 2012 #11 Share Posted August 5, 2012 For anyone who has rented one at Cococay, AND Labadee... is it really worth it at Cococay? I like to be as close to the water as possible, and I know these aren't on the beach... just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurspag Posted August 5, 2012 #12 Share Posted August 5, 2012 They are listed as a shore excursion on my upcoming cruise, but there isn't actually an option to book. It says inquire onboard. in other words, if there are any available after the diamond members, you might be able to snag one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the family cabana, which faces the rows of loungers and beach. It's just a few hundred yards to the beach, so not far at all. It was also nice to have the bar and the buffet just steps away from our cabana. Other cabanas hold 4 and face the water, unobstructed. Yes, the $150 covers everyone who uses the cabana and I believe it accomodates at least 6. The "family cabana" is advertised to accommodate 5, but they were flexible with us and let our family of 7 (4 adults, 3 kids) in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candleonwater Posted August 6, 2012 #17 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Is your upcoming cruise the one listed in your signature? 02/10/13? We sail in just over 100 days, and we STILL don't have any excursion options. Getting more than frustrated with RCL!

And don't be surprised if not all the options are available at first. That's what happened with our sailing in October, but over a couple of days everything showed up.

Bettytrouble Posted August 6, 2012 #19 Share Posted August 6, 2012 We have a family cabana. Do they come with towels or do we bring them off the ship? The link above ( from 2011 ) said he had to bring towels... Thanks Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted August 6, 2012 #20 Share Posted August 6, 2012 They did not provide towels for us last month. We brought (pool) towels from the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udamudda Posted August 19, 2012 #22 Share Posted August 19, 2012 They provided towels for us. Maybe a new thing? They just showed up on our sailing Oct 1 and it says it must be done onboard. We are in a Junior Suite so I was hoping I could book one for 4 people online. Where can I book it as soon as I board the ship? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in a Junior Suite so I was hoping I could book one for 4 people online. Where can I book it as soon as I board the ship? Thanks! Yes, the Coco Cay cabanas have to be booked online. I'm not sure how they'll set up the new cabanas once they are built... time will tell. As soon as you board, go to the excursions desk and request a cabana. Your name will be put on a waiting list. Suite guests get first priority (I assume those higher up in the C&A list are priority listed as well); Jr suites are not considered priority. Good luck!

JRS2010 Posted August 21, 2012 #24 Share Posted August 21, 2012 QTMichele, to get onto a waiting list, did you call ahead? I'm also getting an inquire onboard and willing to make the desk a first stop if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QTMichele Posted August 21, 2012 #25 Share Posted August 21, 2012 There was no calling or booking ahead of time - we inquired upon boarding. HOWEVER, we didn't have cabanas listed under our excursions. I can only assume that the message you are seeing has been updated to include the new cabanas they are building OR they may begin online booking for their current cabanas. Honestly, I don't know...
