Labadee, The best port ever. Pics too...

[flowers44]

You are correct. It will be either 9 or 10. As I said, we had 10 and it was wonderfully easy to get to the water's edge. None of us had issues with mobility but we just ended up with # 10. I would think that RCI would accomodate accessiblilty issues without a problem. Good idea to call or email ahead of time.

Hi, I love this thread, thanks all for the pictures of Nellie's beach cabanas and their location. Are there any out there of the barefoot beach ones and where they are located? I'm sailing on Dec 29 on Silhouette and they are already all gone. Can anyone tell me again the email of the concierge to write to?

Thanks what would we do without all of the great tips on these threads?

N:)

[larry the lobster]

Yup, #10

 

Is this #10 on Nellie Beach or Barefoot Beach?

[larry the lobster]

In October we had #3. On this sailing we had #6. It was AWESOME. The water level at #3 is too deep to stand. #6 is chest deep for about 30 yards (at least). And #6 is pretty secluded as well. Loved it! Definitely made up for getting into Labadee late (and all aboard was 4:30).

 

Are these cabanas on Barefoot Beach or Nellie's Beach?

[larry the lobster]

OK I think I finally have most of this figured out...I am a suite guest so I am able to reserve at Barefoot Beach if there any still left. BUT which over the water Cabana is the best at Barefoot Beach??:confused:

Thank you!!

This is a very informative thread. Thanks to all!

 

Are there any issues with those not in cabanas using your cabana, floats, et cetera, while you are away (getting lunch, for instance)? Dumb question, but just curious. Can you leave your stuff while you're at lunch?

Hi...the cabanas are for people who paid for them. So when you ask

if there are issues? If you didn't pay for one then you would not be in

the position to use one. Most of them are reserved way early (pre

cruise).

There are beaches that are open to anyone (no charge) with loungers

(no charge) that you can use and you can leave your stuff there

while you eat lunch.

And if the person/people who rented the cabana happens to be in the restroom,

in the water, etc.....? It would really not be accessible to someone else.

All their stuff would be in them.....

 

You would use the beach and not the cabanas.

Sorry, I apparently wasn't clear in my question. I'm not asking if it is okay if I sneak into one! LOL! I have rented an over-the-water cabana for my 1/12/14 Celebrity cruise and wondered what you did with your "stuff" while eating, swimming, et cetera. When on the beach we have always left someone with everything. Do you need to leave someone in your cabana to guard your stuff? Does your butler keep an eye on things? I honestly don't know!

[nancronin]

Flying4me - I thought you made perfect sense and something I wondered about too as we have one booked for March on Independence. :)

[Lois R]

Sorry then,:eek: I misunderstood your question.........guess it was not as

clear to me.

 

Yes, there is a "Cabana guy" who works there.....the folks I know, they

left all there stuff in their cabana while they went to eat lunch. I shared

a cabana but ended up moving. The people I shared it with left their

stuff in the cabana when they ate.

[flowers44]

When you are in the water, your cabana is in your full few so your stuff is fine. When we went to lunch on Barefoot Beach, we left our stuff in the cabana on Nellies with no issues. We did cover it up with towels but everything was fine. That being said, I wouldn't take my best jewelry or expensive items with me from the ship. We only had the basic necessities such as cameras, sunscreen and sea pass card. We took towels from the ship but had towels in the cabana when we got there. There is a cooler with ice, water and cups. You may want to shop at the open air market. In that case, you will need cash along also.

[flyingv4me]

Thanks! That's what I expected, but needed some confirmation. I'm looking forward to this cruise!

Oh I see you are on going on Silhouette:):D:).......I just sailed her

in April....FANTABULOUS:D

[kimala]

Thank you so much for your help!! I guess you don't know what the number is on the jumper cabana? How would be the best way for me to describe it to the person in charge of assigning the cabanas? I appreciate your advice! I could not be happier that I was able to reserve on of these! :D

 

...Why don't you print the OPs picture with the "Jumper"labeled and take it with you to show the person who sets up your cabana reservation.?.

Yes you do have to be careful, even while we were in our cabana we had 2 different people use our staircase to get out of the water. I'm not totally sure what they thought they were doing but I think once they got to the top they felt kinda silly. But anyway if everyone leaves the cabana just be careful because anyone can just go up the stairs.;)

Just booked our OTWC at Nellie's for our September cruise and this thread got me even excited!! We rented one at BB last year and loved it so I know these will be great!!! :D

 

I'm just hope, hope, hoping I don't have any problem bringing my 2yo as a 7th person! :confused:

 

Anyone think this will be a problem?

Labadee was so beautiful. I really enjoyed it, except for the part where I got a bad sunburn!

I enjoyed it too except for the part where I fell off the top level of

the cabana:eek::( and landed HARD on my a$$ in the back of a

lounger on the bottom level.

Shouldn't be a problem at all! Again really just the lunch that may be an issue

[Lois R]

I certainly did not intend to fall. I did not realize how close to the

edge I was standing and neither did the other folks in the cabana:rolleyes:

[WetToes]

We've all had those moments. Do hope you weren't injured too bad.

It could have been waaaayyyy worse that is for sure. Nothing broken.

I fell REALLY hard though...:eek:....I ended up going to the Doc after I

returned home. This happened in April.....I even went for an Ultrasound

on my leg because the bruise is still there.......everything came back

negative (thankfully)...just seems the older we get the longer things

take to heal.......:rolleyes:

I hear ya' sister. lol
