Richst48 Posted September 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I just noticed that the cabanas now cost $495. I thought they were $250? Quite a price jump! I'm willing to pay $250 but not $495. Do suite guests get them at a better price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules815 Posted September 24, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2015 We paid $250 for an over-the-water cabana on Barefoot Beach last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigque Posted September 24, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Yes there is a article I reading last night that says the prices have gone up on all category of cabanas on Labadee. The $495 that the OP mentions is the new price for an Over the Water Cabana. The prices are for any cabanas booked starting January 2016! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigque Posted September 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2015 That's absolutely insane. They're very nice, but not $495 nice! Yes I had one in 2013 and we enjoyed it at the price it was then, but I wouldn't pay these prices no way. We had always said if we go back to Labadee we would get a cabana again but now we will just hang out on the beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHCruisin Posted September 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Unless they're including more than a couple bottles of water and floating mats, no way I would pay that much for a cabana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sitzmark Posted September 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) oh well, tried to post a link to the royal Caribbean blog that had the article with the new prices. Edited September 24, 2015 by Sitzmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even with the upgraded lunch! They would need to add Free Attractions of your choice, like jet ski's, zip line, dragon coaster etc. to that price! : :cool: Edited September 24, 2015 by bigque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do as the new prices is what was posted in a Royal Caribbean Blog. It said the prices are in the Cruise Planner on the Website but it was my understanding that you can no longer reserve one in Cruise Planner and have to do it on board. Here is the prices the Blog is saying: How much are the cabanas? •Nellie's Beach cabanas ◦Over water cabana: $495 ◦Beach or Hiltop cabana: $350 •Barefoot Beach cabanas (available to suite guests only) ◦Over the water cabana: $250 ◦Beach cabana: $175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akcruz Posted September 24, 2015 #14 Share Posted September 24, 2015 That pricing is insane. We paid $250 for an over the water at Nellie's a few years ago. Thought that was a lot at that time. It will be interesting to see if they book up as fast as they used to. My guess is they will, and Royal will just increasing the price until they don't.

tlbutler33 Posted September 24, 2015 #15 Share Posted September 24, 2015 If you read the description carefully, they have also done away with the upgraded buffet and bottles of water...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelblu Posted September 24, 2015 #16 Share Posted September 24, 2015 If you read the description carefully, they have also done away with the upgraded buffet and bottles of water...... So if this is correct, we're getting shafted multiple ways. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 24, 2015 #17 Share Posted September 24, 2015 If folks would stop shelling out the bucks, the prices would drop. Simple supply and demand....no "demand", and they'll be "giving them away"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted September 24, 2015 #18 Share Posted September 24, 2015 We will see how this plays out, but I would not be surprised to see the bigger ships command higher prices since there is a larger pool of potential customers. It could even be worse when two ships are visiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiHo Posted September 24, 2015 #19 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I was just on my Cruise Planner and saw the Cabanas at Nellie's Beach listed. Even though it said "on board only," there was an "add to cart" button so I clicked it. It then took to screens where I had to put in some info but eventually through to a payment screen where I stopped because we had decided not to get one at these prices. So apparently, at least on some sailings, you can book them on line again. There were no Cabanas listed for Barefoot Beach though so at this point I assume you still have to book those on board.

Are you in a suite? I read yesterday that if you are in a suite you can see BB cabanas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiHo Posted September 24, 2015 #21 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Are you in a suite? I read yesterday that if you are in a suite you can see BB cabanas We are in a mini suite, does that count? This is our first cruise on Royal and I know that mini suites aren't considered full suites and don't get ALL of the suite perks but do get some. I'm just still a little on what perks we DO get.

Big_G Posted September 24, 2015 #22 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Are you in a suite? I read yesterday that if you are in a suite you can see BB cabanas We're in a suite but only Nellie's cabanas are showing. The sailing is for this October and the prices listed for Nellie's is $250 for the beach and $350 over the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked my booking and it shows $350 for on the beach cabanas on Nellies beach and $495 for over the water. It does not show anything for BB cabanas. I sent an email to the concierge asking about this but I got the canned reply that they would not answer me until 7 days before our cruise.

Doug S Posted September 24, 2015 #24 Share Posted September 24, 2015 We are trying to figure out pricing as well for our off-peak early December Oasis cruise. Over water listed at $350 but billed $395 when put in cart. E-mails back and forth and apparently they are saying it is "as low as" $350. Very misleading and scam-ish. Not at all sure, but it appears it may be priced by sailings. Peak times like Spring break/holidays at a premium? If 2 ships or larger ships its a premium due to limited supply? We will likely go ahead and book one for the 2 of us. Obviously it wouldn't be as big of a deal for larger groups that could split the cost.
