jules815 Posted October 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I posted this question on the Private Island forum, but haven't gotten a reply yet, so thought I'd try here. We'll be sailing on FOS next September in a grand suite. I understand there are cabanas at Barefoot Beach for rental, and we're considering getting one. I know it's quite a way off, but curious how far in advance you need to book? Does anyone have a map of Barefoot Beach showing the numbers or names for the cabanas?

jules815 Posted October 13, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I would send an email to the Concierge and ask about cabana reservations: [noparse]FR_Concierge@rccl.com[/noparse]. Thanks. Seems so far in advance. Checked the excursions for our day in Labadee, and they only show cabana rental on Nellie's Beach. Does anyone have a map?

Does anyone have a map? I was thinking that the Concierge would probably also tell you that it was too far in advance, but would give you a timeframe in which to make another request.

torpeedo Posted October 13, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 13, 2014 You can't book Barefoot beach online. The Freedom concierge will tell you to email him a week before sailing. I've had a lot of experience on the Freedom and that's the usual response. You will enjoy Barefoot Beach and I would recommend renting a Cabana, it's so relaxing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TamaLee Posted October 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm sailing on the Oasis next month. I booked a cabana on Nellie's beach so that I made sure I had one. When it gets closer to my sailing date I plan on emailing the concierge and requesting one on Barefoot Beach. If one is available I will pay for that one and cancel the one I have reserved on Nellie's. If none are available on BB I still have the other one. I just wanted to make sure I had a cabana for the day and this was the best plan I could come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dschultz56 Posted October 14, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I would send an email to the Concierge and ask about cabana reservations: [noparse]FR_Concierge@rccl.com[/noparse]. We are on Independence of the Seas next April in a Suite and want to get a cabana for the day. Do you know the address for the concierge on Independence?

RCI Cruisers 004 Posted October 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 14, 2014 You can Email him at any time, but he will reply to try again the week before you cruise. He will let you know what Cabanas are available and you write him back with your choice. The Cabanas make for a very relaxing day . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ParticularHbr Posted October 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I was thinking that the Concierge would probably also tell you that it was too far in advance, but would give you a timeframe in which to make another request. We were able to reserve ours with concierge about 6-8 weeks in advance....plenty to choose from at that point. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr3939 Posted October 14, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 14, 2014 We had S2 and S3 and loved it. I high recommend getting a cabana. We sail in March we already booked three on Nellie's and will try for two on BB when it gets closer and then cancel Nellie's if I get the BB. I was told last time to expect an Email from the concierge, which never came and I never knew to Email directly. I just went to the concierge first thing upon getting onboard and was able to book them. However, for the March on the Oasis I not taking the chance and will be Emailing probably staring two months out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverhues Posted October 14, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Just returned from the 9 night Explorer cruise last week. We had an over the water cabana on Barefoot Beach, and it was amazing! I initially e-mailed the conceirge 7 to 8 weeks out, and I received a reply right away. He (Nizar) informed me what type of cabanas were available, and I responded that I wanted one over the water. He immediately responded that he had reserved me one, but to e-mail to confirm about two weeks out, as Denzil would be back as conceirge during that sailing. I e-mailed as directed, and Denzil immediately replied that he had my reservation for an overthe water cabana. I hope the process is as easy and the conceirges are as helpful as the one on the Explorer. . The cabana ( we had OW 6) was a great decision for us, and none of us left the Barefoot Beach area as we had all we needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Mario on Serenade got in touch with us about a week before we left on that trip re: a Cabana at Coco Cay, so that's the timeframe I'm figuring on this.
