cruise-a-palooza Posted July 8, 2012 #77 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I called Carnival today as suggested to see if I could book the cabana for an excursion for HMC. Our cruise is not until May 2013. The only excursions that show up for our cruise at this time, are 1 for Nassau, and 3 for GT, none listed for HMC. The rep I spoke with said the only way to book a cabana is online. She said if it isn't listed then it is already sold out, or it just hasn't been listed yet to be purchased. Since there are only 4 excursions listed for the entire trip, I am guessing that they just have not opened all of the excursions up for booking yet. I plan on checking daily to watch for the cabanas to be listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted July 8, 2012 #78 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I dont think that renting a cabana is a must do activity on HMC. I think the best activity you can do is be with your loved ones on the most beautiful place on earth. There is no cost for this.;) We loved HMC, pulled our chairs into the shade, but never got out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are quite welcome, I am sure not a lot of people do it - we got the tip from our PVP who we have used for eight years :) Let's hope they don't stop it now since all of us know about it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck - We also have never gone to the desk and waited for our ticket as the email instructed, they usually just leave it in our cabin like the other excursions.....I'm on vacation and head directly to the Lido for an adult beverage :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? :confused: I was wondering the same thing, though I am not sure that it matters as much at Grand Turk. Since they are all ringing the pool I guess the only question is how close to the flowrider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee Rose Posted July 8, 2012 #97 Share Posted July 8, 2012 just wondering how far people have walked along the shoreline? last time i got a chair and layed in the water all day..loved it I can't seem to wake up enough this morning to comprehend some things!:eek: Please clarify---did you take one of the lounge chairs out INTO the edge of the water and sit there? That sounds exactly like what I would like to do, with the waves gently rolling around me! What materials are the chairs made from; okay to have in water several hours? At the far end, are there plenty of trees to move your chair to if you need to move it out of the water and have some shade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point lol...I'm hoping for one near the flowrider, but it's not a huge deal...they're actually all pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
