Very sad and also not one single person in Haiti has been vaccinated either, the only country without even 1 vaccination. RCCL probably won't be going there for awhile I would guess.

I've seen/heard there is some sort of digital menu/TV with bluetooth connectivity so you can play your music. Is this true and I then would guess the cabana has speakers?

The simple truth is, some can afford it, others cannot, C'est La Vie.  I sense the little green monster of envy is involved. The negative comments are likely because if "I can't have it, why should anybody else have it" syndrome.  Why do some people feel that a simple modest home is not enough and have to spend hundreds of thousands on some monster house?  It's all relative.

 

I tried to get our other 2 couples to go in on one, but they still did not see the 3 or 400$  cost each was justified.  No biggie, but I, who will probably never be able to afford one singly can see it would be very nice.  They did spring for the Labadee Cabana at a much cheaper price. Yay for us.  Cheers to those who are fortunate enough to have the dough.

You are right! Sad thing is This wasn’t even a debate about if cabanas were worth it this post was started to inform people that prices started to drop in case they were interested unbelievable how adults can be so childish on what others do on their vacation.

I check pretty much every day. 109 is the cheapest I've seen, which is still too much

That just means good news for me going by our history 🤪

I’m trying to convince Royal Caribbean to do a pass through the South China Sea blasting the theme song from Team America Movie.

Looks like this one flew over a few peoples heads

Massive?

 

the Beach Club is nearly $180 for my cruise, highway robbery

Yes. Aside from the overwater cabanas all of them have dropped by about 50% for the July 24 sailing. You should’ve been on the lookout although I canceled my 3 day passes for a coco beach cabana instead I was able to grab passes for 105 a person and 95 for the kid a few months back. I also got my waterpark tickets for $58 a head at that time too.
 

really looking forward to the coco beach cabana! It dropped 50% I snagged one 🙂

My July 24th cruise still has Freedom supposedly there also Day 1 and then us solo day 2. I want it all to myself!!! hehehe

Yes 😌 or No 😀?

"And flights to Papeete from my home airport are around $1,800 RT. For our group of 7, that would be $12,600. Then 3 rooms at $549 a night would be $1,647 a night. So, 7 days in Tahiti (to compare with our cruise) would be $24,129.

$1,699 for a day in an overwater cabana while on a 7 day cruise is a bargain compared to Tahiti." - Cured.

Wow. Now that's alot of money!!! 24K!!!!

100% with you. In all honesty, I’m not sure why people question why others get them. I don’t ask why people buy a drink package, it’s their prerogative.  
 

It’s just nice to know when others share the possibility of price savings.  It’s a great gesture, even if others choose not to be partake in the savings. Some will though. 

Spot on. Enjoy your vacation, stop criticizing what prople choose to buy and do on their vacation

The prices are still high for Adventure.  So congrats!

I’m on adventure on July 24. Check when your cruise is about three weeks away or less hopefully will drop like they did for me

I checked mine in case it was an actual 4th of July sale instead of specific to certain sailings, but unfortunately mine hasn't budged. 😕 Cabanas still range from 1k to 1800, and the Beach Club is still 179.

 

More power to them if the market will actually bear those prices, but as for myself ... nah, not worth it.  But I will definitely keep checking!

My cruise is less than three weeks away check when your cruise is 20 days away

Nice catch !!

Thanks, RFerrington. 🤝

I paid $700 15 minutes ago, it dropped from $1,399 for the Coco Beach Beach Cabana.

Craps is by far to me the most exciting/entertaining game in the casino. Only game I play.

Could have something to do with the whole anti-vax/anti proof movement so to say in FLA which is massively slowing down back to normal cruising out of that state and causing more restrictions on board. Sail out of Texas if you can or the Bahamas.

Check your cruise planner if you are going to Coco Cay.

Overwater Cabanas went from $1,899 to $1,499

Coco Beach Club Beach Cabanas dropped from $1,399 to $699.

ALL other Cabanas have dropped from $999 to $499.

I had Coco Beach Club Day Passes booked for $300 for 3 of us. I cancelled and booked the Beach Cabana I could not resist!

I still do not understand why anyone who is fully vaxxed and NOT traveling with anyone who is un-vaxxed would subject themselves to the protocols of a mixed passenger cruise.

 

I mentioned this in another thread and there were a couple of fully vaxxed people who said they would not mind masking in areas where vaxxed and un-vaxxed people were together. That would not be me or my husband. This is why we are not cruising out of Florida on a Royal ship.

 

Another head scratcher for me is........why would anyone who is fully vaxxed, not want to show proof of their vaccine? They would rather be considered un-vaxxed and have to subject themselves to the un-vaxxed protocols when cruising out of Florida? Who does that?????

Anyone claiming they have been vaxxed but refuse to prove, is full of it. They have not, most likely will not. Those people live in an "alternative facts" universe.

You guys and gals rock thank you so much for your tips and advice

Any tips on beaches or shore excursions for Freeport?

Like that would stop the cruise lines from docking in Long Beach and calling it “Vegas.”

Pittsburgh is just 369 miles from NYC. Have you lost your mind? That's like asking them to make a port stop to Pittsburgh.

True. Just different times different ways of documenting it still find it a bit too much work for a vacation in my ipinion

I hope and pray there are no vloggers on my cruise.  I'm so perplexed by it. How the hell do you enjoy a vacation when your recording, playing the act, editing and uploading 24/7?

lol, people lie all the time about life threatening issues, they'll lie about the vax too.  It's what they do

I guess the people you roll with do.
