Cabana rentals

[MARCOPOLOSMITH]

My wife and I are booked on a Eurodam Baltic Sea cruise in July. HAL offers cabanas on the pool deck and 1 floor above in the Retreat. Looking for advice from those who have been there done that. Never sailed with HAL before and never sailed the Baltic. On the surface it looks like the Retreat offers the best options but I am not sure if it is sheltered from potentially bad weather conditions.

The link in Post #6 of the first thread above is VERY helpful

[MARCOPOLOSMITH]

Thanks for your help CruiserBruce. Not sure what exactly is on the post #6 link but it is broken.

The link works for me. It is a pdf document. It is a sheet from HAL giving all sorts of info - prices, amenities, locations, pictures. It is just about everything you need to know.

Do you really think that you would use the Cabana a lot on a Baltic cruise?

I know that when we did Baltic cruises we were rarely on the ship. So much to see and do in the ports.

We will be travelling with another couple..........can you do 4 adults in one cabana?

 

Thanks

[isujim]

Ok........answered my own question:) It helps to READ.........thanks again KK........sounds like family retreat cabana is the way to go.

I love the retreat cabanas and wouldn't hesitate to book one on a Med or Caribbean cruise but I agree with KK and don't think you would use it much on the Baltic itinerary.

[MARCOPOLOSMITH]

Maybe for a day or two?

Maybe for a day or two?

 

There are daily rates, mentioned in KK's post and the link I mentioned, but they can only be booked onboard,

if there are cabanas available.
