Casbanas and shells

[salboz]

the only other time I have sailed with HAL was to Alaska so we did not go to their private island. I just found out about the cabanas and shells that you pay extra for. Unfortunately, all were booked by the time I found out. Does anyone know if these ever become available to those who are waitlisted? Also, is there any shade on the island if you don't have one or the other of these shelters?

You can always put your name down to be waitlisted just in case a cabana becomes available, although I'm not sure just how often this happens. There are hammocks on the island that are semi-shaded and very relaxing so you could go for those if a cabana/clamshell isn't available. :)

How do we reserve these? I don't want a cabana, but I was thinking a clamshell might be nice. We are sailing in July. Can I reserve online? Thanks!

[shmily]

yes you can reserve online although the clamshells go fast so check on it just as soon as you get your booking number. Have fun!

Go ahead and reserve a clamshell on line - they will put you on a wait list. Having been on the wait list I was able to get a clamshell the first night on board (tickets sent to my cabin) Also check the hut on the beach as sometimes they become available the day you are there. Good luck - they are nice to have when it is hot.

Thanks for the quick responses. I am waitlisted for both the clamshell and the cabana. Probably a better chance of getting the clamshell if anything, I guess. Thanks for the tip about checking when you get there.

What about snorkle gear for HMC? Should/can we reserve it now or will there be plenty?

Thanks!

:D Good picture. I could sure use one when those temperatures get in the 90's.

Great "cabana" picture - just think of that on HMC when it is in the 90's.
