Half Moon Cay Cabanas

[Gator4Life]

The cabanas are sold out for our stop at HMC. I "stalk" the excursions several times a day in hopes that things will miraculously change. Customer Service said there is no wait list for the cabanas. I plan to check with the Shore Excursion Desk once we board to see if there were any cancellations.

 

 

I know the quantities are limited but has anyone ever seen that they come available again?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

You mentioned being told that there is no wait list. Was this from customer service on the phone?

 

In our past experience, since we usually book a Carnival cruise within a few months of sailing, we've been able to send an email to shoreexcursions@carnival.com with our sailing information and ask to be put on the cabana wait list. The first time I did this, the shore excursion desk put me at the bottom of a waiting list with several names warning that my chances were really slim until I explained that I emailed in advance and showed her the printout. She moved my name right up to #2 on the list as the #1 person had emailed the day before I did and we happily enjoyed a cabana that trip. Second time I was all ready with my printout for proof but this time it was the manager at the desk and she said oh yes we got your email, you are at the top of our list as the only one to have emailed us.

Yes... Customer Service told me there was no wait list. Honestly I wasn't so confident in the information the CSR give me. Our cruise is next month and I just recently booked it. Thank you so much for the information. I will send my email now.
