sherylc Posted June 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Are there cabanas for rent on Barefoot Beach (suite only area) in Labadee? Have not seen them at all on RCCL website. I figured even if they were sold out, they would show up. Also, we are a party of 11 with 8 in owners suites and 3 in Jr Suites. I've heard it is GS and above for Barefoot Beach? Any options on getting our extra 3 in (thought maybe getting a cabana, paying, etc?) Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can invite anyone they want to join them And any cabana not being taken by the suites are available. RCI will not pass up the chance to make money, and an empty cabana makes no money. It does help to have access to a concierge to make the arrangement, so being Diamond helps. Edited June 24, 2022 by mo&fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherylc Posted June 24, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Most of us are Diamond and in suites, but not sure who to contact to arrange this ahead of time. They don't seem to be available to rent as a "shore excursion" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't seem to be available to rent as a "shore excursion" Those in the OS will be contacted by the Suites Concierge 5 days prior to sailing. At that time you will be able to book the cabanas. You will need to book 2 of them to accommodate 11 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are beautiful cabanas on Barefoot Beach, some of them are over the water (on rocks- Not floating) and some are on the beach. A couple days prior to your cruise, you will receive an email from the concierge. At , that point, you can inquire about a cabana if you want your JS traveling companions to have access to barefoot beach, you will need to book a cabana for them. Otherwise, they will not have access to the area. You cannot “buy“ access. Your Diamond status is worthless when it comes to barefoot beach. The only C&A status that gets onto barefoot Beach is pinnacle. The beach next-door to barefoot Beach, Nelly’s beach is a very nice beach if you all want to stay together and don’t want to rent a cabana. Enjoy. m Edited June 24, 2022 by cruisegirl1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo&fran Posted June 25, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 25, 2022 When you book your cabana, the concierge will ask for a list of all people in their party, regardless of C&A status or stateroom, and the Barefoot Beach concierge will have that list, and they will have access. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFerrington Posted July 1, 2022 #15 Share Posted July 1, 2022 For my 12-18-22 OA sailing the prices are: OTW Cabanas - $1348.99 Hilltop cabana - $988.99 Standard cabana - $898.99 Um...no thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFerrington Posted July 1, 2022 #16 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The Barefoot Beach cabanas never used to be available for reservations prior to boarding. Star Class got first dibs b/c the Genie could reserve them before anyone else, followed by the Suites Concierge for the rest of the full suites and then if there were any left, suite guests could reserve them once onboard. Now, the BB cabanas are the same as the PDCC cabanas - first come, first served. ...and of course, the prices are astronomical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted July 1, 2022 #17 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Cruise planner says you have to be in a GS or above to reserve, but I don't know how cruise planner knows your cabin class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the same sailing and got the e-mail this morning. I checked the prices also, but for $898 for a "standard", I think we will pass, even though there are 8 of us (but only one payee 🙃) We did get an Oasis Lagoon cabana for the same sailing for $399 on Black Friday. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess everyone has equal chance, but if I did want to book them and didn't happen to see/get/check the e-mail and they were sold out when the Genie contacts us, I might be a bit upset (not at those prices though). mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted July 1, 2022 #21 Share Posted July 1, 2022 As with all of the extras, as long as people are willing to pay the listed price, that would be no reason to sell them for any cheaper. When I’m there shortly, I’ll have to take a look to see if they’re all occupied. If so, then it appears Royal Caribbean knows what they’re doing. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare voyager1964 Posted July 1, 2022 #22 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I think RCCL reasonably expects difficulties in selling the Barefoot cabanas at these prices, if released just a few days prior to cruise. Instead of adjusting the pricing, they got a brilliant idea: release the cabanas now and, to keep the pressure, show how few of them are remaining. "only 6 remaining" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
