rclibertygirl5 Posted July 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Does anyone know if there is a Nellie's Beach cabana map like the one that is available for Barefoot Beach? How many Nellie's Beach "Hillside" cabanas are there? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7prez Posted July 27, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Anyone ??? I'm looking for the same thing. Because Nellie's Beach cabanas are first come first served, I was hoping to see where the "over the water" cabanas are located so I won't have to spend a lot of time trying to decide which one to choose once I get there.

flowers44 Posted July 27, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Don't depend on getting a cabana on Nellie Beach when you get there. They are on the excursion board and usually go quite quickly with reservations before the cruise. They are only "First come first Served" if there are any left when the ship docks. We have an "over the water" cabana reserved for our August 30th sailing. I booked it in June and I checked the other day and the Nellies Beach Cabanas were no longer available.

I would like to see a map of where they are located around Nellie's Beach so we'll have an idea of which ones we would like to try and get once we arrive.

flowers44 Posted July 28, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Oh, I miss understood you. I think the decision is made by the ship and not by the passenger. That is what I have taken from the other posts on this site. We also have an "Over the Water" cabana for our August 30th sailing. From pictures on the board, it looks like about three of them. From comments on this site, any one of them is just great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7prez Posted July 28, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2012 We also have an "Over the Water" cabana for our August 30th sailing. We aren't going until February. You'll have to do us all a favor and post some pictures of ALL the cabanas at Nallie's Beach. Most pictures you see on here are of cabanas at Barefoot Beach. I would prefer a cabana that looks out toward the ship and water rather than one that faces the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowers44 Posted July 28, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I will take some pictures of the Nellie's Beach Cabanas. Then all I have to do is figure out how to post them on this site. I will try my best to get some information on the Nellies Beach Cabanas for the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whitshel Posted August 2, 2012 #8 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I am thinking these are Hillside cabanas at Nellies beach, can anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classynfun1 Posted August 2, 2012 #9 Share Posted August 2, 2012 No, those are part of the Beach Cabanas on the other side of the beach from the over the water and hillside cabanas (and those are brand new). They look somewhat high in that picture - but they really arent. The easiest way to tell is those have direct access to the water...the hillsides don't. The hillside cabanas are between Barefoot and Nellie's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Castle Posted August 2, 2012 #10 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I am thinking of ones of these for our Late November cruise. Does the fee include transfer to and from the ship. Would you recommend one or is there some shade available please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hillside cabanas are between Barefoot and Nellie's... Hmmmmm, Qtmichelle had quoted that they were hillside? This is so confusing. So the only hillside ones are the ones between Barefoot Beach and Nellies beach up on that area that juts out? So the ones right above the "Nellies" are the only Hillside Catagory? Im fine with that....just trying to make sure:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im fine with that....just trying to make sure:confused: I believe the ones you are looking at in this picture above the word "Nellie's" are over the water cabanas at Nellie's Beach. I think the new hillside cabanas are not shown in this picture. They are probably to the right, between Nellie's and Columbus Cove. See, this is why we need a map that shows the location and designation of each cabana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbur Posted August 3, 2012 #13 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The ones over the word Nellies are the hilltop - see this thread post # 7 http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1625781 one easy way to differentiate - the beach cabanas are directly on the beach behind the deck chairs the hilltop run right beside the barefoot hilltop and there are only a few -the Over The Water - the have direct access to the water - so if the cabana has steps directly into the water it is an OTW One thing to keep in mind when I snapped those photos in above thread is the tide was very low that day and so more ground is exposed than normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbur Posted August 3, 2012 #14 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I believe the ones you are looking at in this picture above the word "Nellie's" are over the water cabanas at Nellie's Beach. Nope they are Hilltop I think the new hillside cabanas are not shown in this picture. They are probably to the right, between Nellie's and Columbus Cove. See, this is why we need a map that shows the location and designation of each cabana. There is no map I am aware of for Nellies . . . yet! The hilltop ones are few - you have to climb stairs up and down to get to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7prez Posted August 3, 2012 #15 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) The ones over the word Nellies are the hilltop - see this thread post # 7http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1625781 I thought the cabanas in this picture from your previous post (which are over the water cabanas) were the same ones on the point above the word Nellies. My mistake Edited August 3, 2012 by f7prez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whitshel Posted August 3, 2012 #16 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Thanks Melbur, so the picture I have here would be over the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake it's very hard to picture - the hilltop facing the ship wraps around and drops towards these OTW facing the beach - you can see I took this from the beach out towards the ship as opposed to the hilltop from the ship - I know sounds confusing Edited August 3, 2012 by melbur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7prez Posted August 3, 2012 #18 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Thanks Melanie. One thing I am sure of, we are going to enjoy our cabana immensely:D I think this is the one thing I am looking forward to the most... besides sailing an Oasis class ship (Allure) for the first time.

armywifefisher Posted August 4, 2012 #20 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Thanks Melbur, so the picture I have here would be over the water?

soprano Posted August 5, 2012 #21 Share Posted August 5, 2012 So, are there only four over the water cabanas on Nellies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whitshel Posted August 5, 2012 #22 Share Posted August 5, 2012 So, are there only four over the water cabanas on Nellies? No from what I gather there are those 4 that are clumped together and then across the water there look to be another 3 or 4 on rocks in a straight line that they are saying are "over the water" cabanas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VrVxVy Posted September 15, 2012 #24 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I agree ... I downloaded the Labadee 'brochure' via the Ports of Call link on the Royal Caribbean website, and there is no indication of 'Nellie's Beach' anywhere on the map. Can anyone please indicate a physical location as to the Over-the-Water cabanas at Nellie's Beach, in relation to where Barefoot Beach is located? Is it in the area of Columbus Cove? I have already booked an Over-the-Water cabana, and I am curious as to the distance between the cabana, and the other activities my guest and I have planned for the day (Dragon's Breath Flight Line, etc.) Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowers44 Posted September 15, 2012 #25 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Just at Nellie's Beach cabana last week. The pictures on this site are of Nellie's Beach. the picture with the six cabanas that says "low tide" are the ones we rented. We had the first cabana to the left of the picture and the first one on that side of the beach. There are four other cabanas on the other side of the beach that are called Over the water also. Just behind our cabana, there was a sidewalk and behind that were the beach cabanas enclosed in a three foot wall with a gate to enter. Columbus Beach is just outside the encloser around the front cabanas. You have to walk about 500 feet to get over the hill onto Columbus Beach. These cabanas in the photo on this thread are on the left hand side of Nellies. Everything is quite close for walking around Labadee. It looks a lot larger than it really is.
