Abiding Posted November 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Does anyone know the cost of a clam shell on GSC? How available are they-should I try to get on the island early to get one? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Nahoumi Posted November 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Does anyone know the cost of a clam shell on GSC? How available are they-should I try to get on the island early to get one? thanks! We reserved ours onboard. Not sure of the price today, but we paid $25.00 a few years ago.

Abiding Posted November 27, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thanks so much, Barb! Seems like it would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCAT48 Posted November 27, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 27, 2014 You have to purchase on the ship. They are first come. If you purchase one get there early to pick the one you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrPanthers99 Posted November 27, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I think I paid about $30 earlier this year. My wife wanted one and I will say, they are huge and pretty nice. Not much shade or trees on GSC. GSC was amazing for a private island. You can see the RCL island and its tiny and not as built up at NCL.

ncklhaus Posted November 27, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I also thought that they were $29.99, but according to the Shore Excursion booking sheet from the ship, they are $19.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abiding Posted November 28, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Thanks for all that! Sounds like it would be a good investment! Any recommendation on which location to choose? We prefer a quieter area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted November 28, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 28, 2014 You might save some money and pick the rocky points between the beaches which have trees and quite some loungers. Walk 5 minutes towards the far part of the beaches if you get of the tender, follow the Lagoon/Cabana signs and you will come across those shaded areas.

FreestyleNovice Posted November 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Made a quick snapshot last month: This spot is next to the last small cabana (#25 I think?) and before getting to the lagoon. On the picture below it's the most right of the three indicated shady spots. The first two you will see/walk along are also great, closer to the buffet and bars (the small lagoon bar/buffet seems to only open when the larger ships visit?). I think those are the best free spots to get some shade that I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreestyleNovice Posted November 29, 2014 #13 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Think about a small cabana; $199 with $50 credit. Bottled water, fruit plate, chips with dip, lots of beach towels, loungers, two floating mats, shower. Beverage service from the bar. Add it all up; 25 vs 149 and a great experience. At any port of call you will spend more money than at GSC with transit, tips, fees for resort beaches etc to get a perhaps near similar experience. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncklhaus Posted November 29, 2014 #14 Share Posted November 29, 2014 It actually depends on which ship you are on and when. The small cabaña on our sailing was $349 not $199. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlacruising Posted December 1, 2014 #16 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Thanks for all that! Sounds like it would be a good investment! Any recommendation on which location to choose? We prefer a quieter area. The quieter area was pass a little bridge. The first area had a lot of activity. Looking at the map it would be the opposite of the float area.

teseo Posted December 1, 2014 #17 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I also thought that they were $29.99, but according to the Shore Excursion booking sheet from the ship, they are $19.99. I just got off the BA Sunday. I went to the shore excursions desk the night before GSC to ask about the clam shells and they told me $29.99. Since it looked that we probably wouldn't made it to the island because we had a rocky weather I did not rented it on the ship. We finally made it to the island and I rented one on the lagoon (not the best location) and the guy told me it was $19.99 and that was the slip I signed. When I got to the ship and I checked my account on the tv I saw $29.99 so I went to the excursions desk and told them and they adjusted the price to $19.99. Cabana beach is a good location, it is a way from the main beach were the party is. The clam shells on the lagoon are facing west and in the afternoon the sun is in your face all the time, so you don't get any shade at all. We actually move ours. You can take the tram and tell them to drop you close to cabana beach. I think is stop #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
