Cabanas

[Static events]

Hi all,

 

How much are the cabanas?

 

Do you hire them per day or per hour or .........?

 

Thanks

[2theship]

Where? From the ship on a private island or in a port at a specific resort? Or do you mean the ones that are onboard a couple of the ships?

[gold1953]

the ones on the ship are by the day and sell out quickly

[Zigster]

On the ship they are $249 for a sea day. $99 when the ship is in port.

[killsport]

Those prices ($249/$99) are for 9am-9pm (so you get the whole day of an assigned cabana; has your name on it -- literally). You usually get a fruit/cheese platter and some bottled waters as well. The cabanas hold 4 people comfortably, but we've had 6-8 for short periods of time.

Thanks for your replies everyone.

 

In your opinion is it worth the money?

 

Thanks

[jelayne]

For us No. no real loungers, a lot of folks gawking, if weather isn’t great you just blew $250- rained off and on the day we had reserved.

[justcrusn]

We had one on a sea day. Too windy to put the shade top up, so it was pretty bright...

The DW loved the experience!

The prices have increased since our cabana,so I’d be reluctant to get one at the new prices.

I don’t see the real value in them.

 

If they included food then maybe...

 

If you buy a table at a beach club it normally includes food/drink.

Do they offer any discount if you reserve one for the entire cruise?

[micheleata]

This says you receive a discount for multiple days or your entire cruise,  inquire onboard...

I don't know if they were sold or not, but on our recent cruise the lawn cabanas never seemed to be occupied. To my mind they are too far away from the pools.

 

[DebInAntigua]

The Cabanas are listed on the Cruise Planner for ours (< 6 months out now), but no luck reserving them. Wonder why they won’t let you pre-book them. 

[DENIE]

Thought about reserving one, but decided to pass.  Once on board (Silhouette, November 2018), they looked nice, but they just did not offer enough.  The concept is nice, but the pool is on another deck.  Plus, if the weather is iffy or windy, then you just blew your money.  Perhaps if we had a lot of OBC, but otherwise, probably not...

 

[Cruise a holic]

We have truly enjoyed the Alcoves and find them a great option on sea days.  We always had a comfortable place to sit- no chair hogs.  Since we aren't sun worshippers, it has a awning to block the sun.   The attendant brought us drinks, water, lunch , a bottle of champagne,  fruit and cheese on the day we rented it-, all included.   We also have had visitors join us in the cabana and got the same perks.  In order to get alcoholic and soft drinks, you need the drink package,  or if not you pay per drink, however bottled  water, the other perks listed are included. 

 

We always prebook.  Call if not listed on your cruise planner- or try closer to your sail date.  If not, book as soon as you board if any left.

 

Well worth it! IMO

Is that $249 per day?   So that's about $1750 for a seven-day cruise.  Am I reading that right?

Please advise, thanks.

[Pickels]

Is that $249 per day?   So that's about $1750 for a seven-day cruise. OR...

For a cruise that has 2 ports, $1245 + $198 = $1443,

Please advise, thanks.

not correct   sea days cost $99  port days $249   Most people do not book for an entire week  .  We might book a port day if we do not want to get off the ship

Totally wrong.  Sea days are $249 (in example, x 5= $1245.  PORT days are $99 (x 2=$198)  Total, as they said, $1443.  You have it backwards.

[Cruise a holic]

You are correct  Sorry.  But my point is most people do not rent an entire week.  We did it once and got a 20% discount.  Also, some people share the cost.  I recommend if your first time- do one sea day if you can.  Some people spend a significant amount for a shore excursion . So if you consider the alcove as an onboard shore x- not really that expensive- especially for a family of four, or two couples.  

 

Also, if for example you ship stops in Puerto Rico- ours did-but we docked at 3PM and we had no interest in a late shore x- or having dinner ashore- so we booked a cabana- it was at the port day rate.  Had been to PR previously.

 

Enjoy
