Nalagh Posted October 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I just booked for our Dec. 1 Breakaway Small Cabana On The Cay (All Day) The small, private cabanas located on Fiesta Beach are ideal for a couple or a small family. They offer everything you need for a relaxing day on the Cay including complimentary floating mats, plus a $25 credit toward food and beverages. Starting from ADULT $149 CHILD $149 The problem is I paid $299 because I am sailing on the Breakaway, if I were sailing the Sky the same week I would have paid $149 for the exact same Cabana, :rolleyes: Oh well, at least I have a cabana at GSC.

KJE Atlanta Posted October 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Looks like they now have Large (up to 8 people) and Small (up to 4 people) Cabanas on the Cay. Is it possible you booked the large one and paid the higher price? Edited October 20, 2013 by KJE Atlanta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckybrownie Posted October 20, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 20, 2013 How do you go about reserving a cabana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandhoppingfool Posted October 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I don't know. $300 would pay for food for a MONTH in our household. I could not justify this for a few hours of having a cabana....just my own opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted October 20, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 20, 2013 How do you go about reserving a cabana? You book them like excursions. We booked ours in July 2012 for our upcoming cruise in 2 weeks. There were only 12 at the time, and were booked up many months out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylenyc Posted October 20, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) So you're saying $450 for 1 adult and 2 children? I'd just paint them in your SPF 80 sunscreen and bring your own beach umbrella! Are they serving Dom with caviar? I'm pretty sure you for that amount, you can hire a few cabana boys too ;) Edited October 20, 2013 by kylenyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitman19 Posted October 20, 2013 #11 Share Posted October 20, 2013 There are now two size cabanas. One holds 8 people & gives you $50 food/beverage credit. The other is for 4 people & gives $25 credit. They both cost $299 to rent. It's not per person. We had one in March. It was great. We never stayed so long on the Private island. Really enjoyed the day at the beach. Happy Cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other is for 4 people & gives $25 credit. They both cost $299 to rent. It's not per person. The price varies by cruise and ship it seems, $299 is the highest price reported here. We had a cabana this Feb, unfortunately the weather was cloudy and somewhat windy so we didn't enjoy the day as much as we had hoped. It was great anyway but not sure if I would pay $299 for it (I had booked and paid it before they raised the price).

agargoyle Posted October 20, 2013 #14 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hi, we usally just book a clamshell. My DH is taking meds that do not mix well with the sun so to give us both what we want/need we do the clamshell. We just returned from the Breakaway. We did not do the clamshell since we planned on being on the first tender and found lounge charis in the shade. When I wanted sun -- I found an empty chair on the beach. We did book a cabana for our Christmas cruise -- mainly because our son and family will be with us. The cabana offers lots of shade and room for the grandkids (5 & 7). That way they can enjoy the island but not annoy other guests. Grandson has some ADHD and can become a handful. You do get a food/drink voucher and a waiter for your convience. The island now has 24 cabanas. There soon will be a tram to access the far end of the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted October 20, 2013 #15 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If they both cost $299 but one gives you more food credit, why would anyone reserve the smaller one? Makes no sense... I agree same price makes no sense...for the same price do you want more space and a higher food credit...or a smaller space with a lower credit? Unless the smaller ones are somehow nicer or better located, why would anybody feel good about renting a smaller one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickey557 Posted October 20, 2013 #17 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Don't the large cabana's come with the water slide as well? I looked for the difference between the two but can't find the large one to compare this to. Also if you have more then 4 people but are willing to share the space and the credit do you need to get 2 or can you use one for everyone? But does everyone get priority off the ship if not listed? Just curious :-) I can't wait to be going so want to know everything!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLH Arizona Posted October 20, 2013 #19 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) If they are the same price, I'd opt for the larger one, even if it was only for 4 people. Why be cramped in the smaller one. Not to mention you get $50 credit instead of $25. Why would anyone go for the smaller one if they are the same price, unless that is all that is available.

There's no way I'd book the smaller one for the same price UNLESS the larger ones already booked! I lost out last August as all the Cabanas were booked more than 8 months out! I would have jumped at a smaller one then......;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CTCruiser001 Posted October 20, 2013 #23 Share Posted October 20, 2013 We booked our Cabana's for our 11/10/13 sailing in a few weeks way way way early! I was getting all of our paperwork in order today for the cruise and found the Cabana booking...We booked them April 25, 2012! More than a year and half from our sailing!

MCAT48 Posted October 21, 2013 #24 Share Posted October 21, 2013 When I look it up without signing in the price is 249 for large and 149 for small? Strange. Guess the prices change for sailings? You can pay an extra 39 to have a guest added to you cabana up to 2 extra but the description makes it sound like you can only do that if you have the large cabana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unless you and I are both equally crazy you did see it and so did I LOL. I was actually pricing it with the thought of what was included so I could justify the cost but then I waited to long and they sold out. Today I saw the smaller ones and thought yeah I can still do it but they have less and cost the same :confused: makes no sense to me. Either way can't wait to go :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
