bajathree Posted January 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Did Royal add a new cabana club in Labadee at Nellie's Beach? I was just looking thru excursions for Labadee and came by these available for booking on-line: Beach Cabana - Hillside at Nellie's Beach - ZL89 $175 Beach Cabana - Over the Water at Nellie's Beach - ZL88 $200 Overview: The upscale sea view cabanas nestled on the hillside of Nellie's beach with private water access are a great place to relax and enjoy the seclusion, while remaining among the action of Nellie's Beach. - Highlights: Cabana rental for the full day. Furnished with luxury resort style lounge chairs and ceiling fan. Rental includes 2 floating beach mats, upgraded lunch buffet, and the use of beach towels. Personal cabana attendant service. Sounds exactly like the set-up at Barefoot Beach for suite guests....but it say's Nellie's Beach:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAHA Posted January 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Does this mean another beach that will be off limits to those who either are not in Suites (Barefoot) or rent cabanas (Nellie's)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is exactly what I am trying to figure...did Nellie's Beach become a private section now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hap Posted January 13, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 13, 2012 We just tried to reserve these cabanas but they are $175.00 per person. $350.00 for a cabana is too steep for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E&B Posted January 13, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Wondering about these myself. It seems odd that it would be $175 or $200 per person, when the private beach is only $200 per cabana and allows up to 6 people. And teh description only includes two lounge chairs vs. the sofa and lounge chairs at the cabanas in the private beach. I'm thinking that RCCL didn't quite get the description and or pricing correct when loading it into their cruise planning area. It's probably the same price as the private beach. Anyone back from Labadee recently who can give us details?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosed37 Posted January 19, 2012 #9 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'm also curious regarding these new cabanas :confused: hopefully someone can clarify this for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just booked the over the water cabana for our cruise in April, and after 60 minutes of going around with the RC rep about the price of it, she finally asked a supervisor and it Is $200 per cabana NOT per person.

That's what I suspected. They need to get that fixed on the website. Please get back in April and let us know the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajathree Posted January 20, 2012 Author #12 Share Posted January 20, 2012 So once again....that brings up the questions.....is Nellie's Beach now a private area also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotplay Posted January 20, 2012 #13 Share Posted January 20, 2012 That's what I suspected. They need to get that fixed on the website. Please get back in April and let us know the details. I checked the website last night to see if i could book through it and it still wanted double for the cabana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkbaby01 Posted January 21, 2012 #14 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I checked the website last night to see if i could book through it and it still wanted double for the cabana. When you book it put it in one persons name don't book it for everyone in your reservation, if you do it will charge you per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MouseGirl Posted January 21, 2012 #15 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I just tried booking one online for our March cruise, and it didn`t come up as an option for Labadee excursions in the list of choices under our reservation, although it shows up when I look at the general list of activities for Labadee. Strange... I then called Royal Caribbean, and after she had me on hold for a couple of minutes she advised that the Nellie`s Beach cabanas are only available for booking once we`re onboard. Wondering if anyone else has had this experience, since from an earlier post it sounds like people are successfully booking online. Thanks for your help, MouseGirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunnerxf Posted January 21, 2012 #16 Share Posted January 21, 2012 hi! i just tried to book a "over the water" cabana through the rccl-pre-cruise-planner and it worked. i am going in march and i just booked for one of us two. it worked and i would wonder if they charged us 350$ for a cabana for two. i assume they will correct the description very soon so people are not coming to believe that all party members have to book the cabana. the way i see things is that i book the cabana and i invite my gf to stay with me in "my" cabana. i would be very surprised if they meant it to be any other way...

MouseGirl Posted January 22, 2012 #17 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I tried going into the site another way and was able to book it - thanks for your help! I think they need to provide their phone reservation agents with better information:) Probably will get worked out as time goes along, since this is such a new offering...

MouseGirl I have NEVER seen RC agents who know absolutely nothing! I had to call them today for a question and they transferred me to 4 different people before I got a answer. It seems like when I have called in the past to ask a question they always put me on hold and come back 10-15 minutes later with the answer!

tomko2 Posted January 22, 2012 #19 Share Posted January 22, 2012 We were there on January 6th and the new Cabanas were open (they weren't open when we were there in early December). Nellie's Beach was open as usual. Hope it stays this way. Kathy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they have the right answer when they come back to you, as unfortunately that was not the case when I called:) All`s well that ends well, as thanks to these boards I knew that others were booking successfully and persisted... The woman I spoke to was very pleasant though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobKat406 Posted January 25, 2012 #22 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Anyone book these and already go to labadee and have one? We wanted to book one but there are 4 of us and wondering if we could all fit into one cabana (or that they would allow 4 in a cabana). I also contacted RCI about the price being per person and was told you couldn't book them on line. Why do they not know there own website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken987 Posted January 26, 2012 #24 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I bumped another thread in hopes of finding someone on CC who has used these. Our friends booked one last night. I don't know if they put one name or all our names..but either way they were charged the $200...we booked the over water..thought it would be cool....
