I actually asked this same question a couple of weeks ago because I couldn't find any good info either! It sounds like there are pros and cons to each of them maybe? Depends if you want to be closer to the on-shore stuff or want to spend the whole time in the cabana being as isolated as possible? I'm still pondering whether we will try to request one or just get what we get. We sail in about 3 weeks and there are still 7 available on our cruise.

That will be so helpful. Do you happen to remember how easy/hard it was to get to the Beach Club? Like in terms of shuttle, walking, etc?

This is so good to know!! I was afraid we were going to be so hyped up about it for months and then disappointed if we got a "bad" one. At least knowing that they all still have great views makes me feel better!

oooooh! That is good to know! I have to admit I have already been looking at the menu and we don't sale for a month. lol

We also often do this, but we are celebrating my mom's 4 year remission of pancreatic cancer. So we decided to go big for her.

Looking at the map, that's exactly what one of the videos said. That the two in the middle (5 and 6 or 15 and 16) were great because the views were unobstructed. I guess a big part of it will depend on which side we are assigned based on our ship. Sounds like the star class ships might get 11-20. If so, I definitely want to make sure that we don't get #10 because it looks like it basically sits right on the beach!

Sorry! CocoCay

My mom and I have been searching everywhere for information about the best overwater cabanas and finding very little but also conflicting information. My husband and kids and I did one for the very first cruise after COVID (when they were having to sail out of Bahamas) so our cruise was only about 25% full and there was only one ship there (Independence). I think we were the ONLY people in one of the cabanas, so it didn't matter which we had and we didn't see hardly anyone the whole day. For this trip, we are going in October and there will be two ships there. I'm sure all of them will probably be taken but from what I understand, we can try to make a request if we want specific ones. One Youtuber said that if you are in the cabanas on the ends, you are so close to the beach that people literally swim up around your cabana the whole time. He suggested the ones in the middle. Someone else said that you can't even trust the numbering system because they are different on the ship's customer service map than then are when you get to the island. I really, really, really want to make this the most awesome experience possible for my mom. Any thoughts on whether there even is a "best" cabana?

Oh wow! Thank you so much!!

Is there any way to find out if there are cabanas available for the IOS Nov 4 or 8? We're looking at taking a quick cruise but would choose one sailing over the other if we could get a cabana. The only time we sailed was right when everything reopened and everything was available.
