    How far out did you book a Beach Bungalow on Harvest Caye

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    I am curious to hear from others who have booked a Beach Bungalow on Harvest Caye, how far out were you able to book it? We are sailing in November and I have been checking weekly and we still only have a few excursions available to book. This is first time sailing with NCL, so maybe this is normal for them? Just curious when I may be able to book the Bungalow. TIA

    Large Balcony Room - Oasis Class

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

    I have been doing a Google search and also tried searching the boards but I haven't been able to find any pictures of a Large Balcony room on any of the Oasis class ships. I'm sure there are pictures out there and I am probably doing my search wrong, so I apologize for asking again.

     

    I just booked 12600 on Symphony, Category 2C (I am thinking a D2 from old categories?). I am looking for pictures or videos of this category on any Oasis class just so I can see the size of Balcony and make sure we think it's worth the extra money. Are there lounge chairs on these balconies, or can you request one? I loved just relaxing on our balcony on Harmony, but would love it if we could have a lounge chair!

     

    I apologize again, I'm sure this has already been asked but I can't seem to find anything when I search. It returns threads from all boards not just RCI, I am using the forum app on my phone so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it.

     

    Thanks in advance! [emoji3]

    Norwegian Getaway Review (Jan. 29 - Feb. 5, 2017)

    Thanks for the positive feedback.

     

     

     

    I forgot to mention that despite the numerous reports of narrow hallways and tiny balconies, these issues did not really detract from my cruise. However, we did really miss the ability to combine our balconies into one mega-balcony. It was a convenient way to stay in touch, communicate, and hang out on our Celebrity cruise.

     

     

    The balconies don't open up on NCL? We booked connecting balconies with the assumption they could open like RCI, what a bummer!

     

    Edited after the fact, I see my question was answered, should have kept reading! [emoji846]

    Pool Cabanas on Harvest Caye

    Yes its not just you- everyone on our roll call is antsy about the excursions getting loaded! Seeing as ncl is so desperate to make money off us at every turn you'd think they would have stuff available for us to book as early as possible. Personally I like to book and pay for excursions far out as it helps me spread the cost of the trip.

     

    Anyway, have you looked at Maya Chan in Costa Maya? It's where nearly everyone from our roll call has decided to go.

     

     

    Yes, it looks amazing! We want to a dolphin swim and a beach day between Costa Maya and Cozumel, we just haven't decided which one we want to do what. So either Maya Chan and Dolphins Swim in Cozumel or Dolphin Swim in Costa Maya and Playa Mia or Mr Sanchos in Cozumel

    Might be a good approach to ask how far out are excursions able to be booked.

     

     

     

    They do change from season to season so the cruise line wants to keep things fresh and relevant.

     

     

     

    10 months out is just anxious on the part of the cruiser and not fresh and relevant on the part of the cruise line.

     

     

    I'm going to have to agree and disagree with you. When it comes to activity based excursions, yes I can see why they all wouldn't be available. However something as a Cabana, which they have a limited amount and that will not be changing I think there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to book early. To me planning is not being anxious on my part IMO

    We are sailing on the Escape Sept 30 and there are only 3 excursions available at this time. One is the Cabanas in Belize at $499 a person, no thank you!

     

     

    Cabanas are priced as a whole, not per person. I thought the same thing until I read the fine print. Only one person books it. Beach Cabanas accommodate 6 people, pool Cabanas are 4 people

    We also have no excursions for our October Escape cruise, someone from our roll call called ncl and they said 3-4 months before. Seems daft as people will get bored of waiting and book privately. For my Epic cruise they were available 9 months out or more.

     

    Anyway, there is little to no info on the pool cabanas. The poster above probably thought you meant the beach cabanas, as far as I know nobody has posted any pics or info on them yet. Hoping someone visiting HC can at least take a picture of one soon!

     

     

    I agree, I find it very odd. I am big planner, type A personality. And I just love killing the time waiting for the cruise by planning it. This is my first NCL cruise so I wasn't sure if it was common or not. I am already looking at outside vendors for our excursions in Honduras, Costa Maya and Cozumel. I feel like they are losing money by doing this

    Was there last week, on the Dawn. Hopefully, you will be able to secure a pool cabana reservation. If not, there are umbrellas at each set of loungers that provide quite a bit of shade. Seemed to be plenty of open space at the pool as most guests headed for the beach.

     

     

    Thank you! Good to know they have umbrellas around the pool. This may be a silly question, but did you happen to notice how many pool Cabanas there are? A good amount, or just a few?

     

    Thanks for the info, it's appreciated!

    Not sure why it is not letting you book excursions, we are sailing in April on the Getaway and we were able to book our cabana at Harvest Caye and all our other excursions right after we booked the cruise many months ago! If you scroll through here there is already a few posts about the cabanas and Harvest Caye and they also include pictures. You can also go on youtube and search for it and there are a few videos up.

     

     

    Thank you! I am going to call, because no shore excursions are available online yet for any islands, which I found odd. Being new to NCL I wasn't sure if it was because we are still a ways out from our sailing date.

    Hi all,

     

    This is my first time sailing with NCL, I have sailed 3 times with RCI. Our cruise is on the Getaway in November. I know we still have about 10 months, but typically how far out are you able to reserve the Cabanas on Harvest Caye. I was surprised to see I am unable to book any shore excursions yet. I know there are limited Cabanas and we will be sailing with my elderly grandmother and would love to book a pool cabana so she has shade.

     

    Also, I would love to hear feedback from anyone who has had a Pool Cabana or just feedback on Harvest Caye overall is appreciated!

     

    TIA
