alwaysfrantic Posted February 14, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted February 14, 2014 That is a definite shame. They charge more for this "11th" day that we aren't allowed to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxboy Posted February 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2014 We were able to use our Retreat Cabana on the NA on embarkation day in December. Cabana boys John and Gerber welcomed us with open arms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesGal Posted February 14, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 14, 2014 We were able to use it as well, both in Europe and in the Caribbean. Looking forward to another in 36 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastlook Posted February 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Yes - we spent some time in ours during sail away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelleherdl Posted February 15, 2014 #8 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Called ship services and I was assured that one we were aboard we could use our family retreat cabana. Just have to break for muster drill. Dennis Sent from my VS950 4G using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastlook Posted February 15, 2014 #9 Share Posted February 15, 2014 They are normally available for use from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We did not linger too long after sail away as we did not want to keep the Cabana team away from their other duties.

alwaysfrantic Posted February 15, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'm so glad it appears we likely can go up there on the first day. Good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was considering getting one when we do our Norwegian Fjords cruise as we have several days of scenic cruising, but wasn't sure if I should bother?

RuthC Posted February 15, 2014 #12 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Would you consider a Retreat Cabana a waste of money or a good investment in Northern Europe? I was considering getting one when we do our Norwegian Fjords cruise as we have several days of scenic cruising, but wasn't sure if I should bother? As someone who has done more Norway cruises than I can count, let me jump in here. I don't think a Retreat cabana is worth the cost when there is as much scenic cruising as Norway offers. The cabana is closed in, so the views will be limited. You can go out into the open area of the Retreat, but there is so much open area that doesn't cost anything, why spend that kind of money? In Norway, you are likely to get "liquid sunshine", fog, wind, and chills. It's nice to be able to find a spot outdoors that's open to the views, yet sheltered. You can bundle up in your jacket, and even the blankets offered, and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
