  1. Just back from liberty this past Saturday. We were at HMC last Sunday. Since the day we had booked I would check for cabana availability every couple of day, always sold out. But suggestions from this site said to go to the excursion desk as soon as you board and ask. We got into the check in area at 10 and got a boarding zone 5 card (no fttf avail when booked). But I figured zone 5 was not bad. Got a nice little surprise when we were done checking in as the lovely lady behind the counter gave my family of 5 a priority boarding card. No idea why but I'll take it. Gave my 5 card to a couple with a zone 17 card and boarded after the wedding groups. Went right to the excursion desk and asked about the cabana's. And just like that we got turquoise #3. Closer to the main area, wouldn't be my 1st choice as I would like to be away from the crowds but it was still great. Because of the. Ababa rental we were on the 1st tender off the ship, you walk over to an area to the right and they drive you (with a group of other cabana and villa renters) to your cabana. We got 4 floats, snorkel gear for 4, 2 cushioned lounge chairs, a table with 4 sitting chairs. A couple of workers dropped off a cooler with 8 sodas and 2 big bottles of water, a plate of fruit ( pineapple,watermelons,cantaloupe.) and a plate of veggies celery,carrots,broccoli) with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa with a HUGE bag of tortillas. There is also storage space a refrigerator and trash barrel. And a outside shower head at the front to wash off sand and saltwater. Also had an a/c and a fan......my 1 suggestion is there is a clearing from your porch to the water in between the beach chairs that people ended up pulling into the path. Not a big deal but when I go back I would grab a couple of the beach chairs and put some of our stuff on them to try and keep the area a little clear. No one ever came up to try and use the shower or take anything. I ended up giving a coupe of our mats to a couple to float around with because I had also brought some blow up floats. The price was 230.00. Any other questions just ask. Good luck have fun

  2. Just off the breeze last Saturday. We had rooms 10259, and 10261. We were opposite side and a little further down. We loved the location. We could of stood for being a little further away from the elevators/stairs, it got a little loud out there between 12 and 1 am but it wasn't too bad. You should be good with the location from the elevators, far enough away so you don't get the noise but close enough where they are right there. I like the lido because there is no elevator wait or stair climbing to get to the pool,chairs,lido marketplace. You can shoot right up the 2 outside stair cases to get to waterworks, and serenity... There is also a door to the emediate left once you walk thru the sliding door between the pool and the rooms, so you don't have to walk all the way to the elevator area and then back down the hall to your room. Just go left through the sliding door, through the other door and your room is right there.
