cruzincanuck Posted July 8, 2015 #26 Share Posted July 8, 2015 180 days ou, they dont even show up on my planner. Just the day beds Same here now. Two weeks ago I could see them on the cruise planner but just the accessible and hilltop ones stating to book onboard. I will check every once and a while to see if they come up.....otherwise I will head to the excursion desk once we have embarked 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikigal4eva Posted July 8, 2015 #27 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Cruising Oasis on August 29, 2015. Just checked the planner (haven't checked in a couple weeks) and was able to add to cart and buy "Beach Cabana at Nellie's Beach (Onboard Only)" for $225.75. Says "Beach Cabana- Over the water at Nellie's Beach (Onboard Only)" for $295.75 to check onboard and can't add to cart. Our Labadee port day will be my husband and I's first wedding anniversary, so want to make the day very special :) Was really hoping get an over the water originally by checking immediately onboard, but figure I can book the Beach Cabana now and check once I get onboard if any over the water are available and upgrade. Can't say I am a fan on the price increase for the over the water... I'd rather have any cabana than none!

mark22mac Posted July 8, 2015 Author #28 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Our cruise is sept 27 I could add both cabanas to my cart beach and over the water. Very strange that everyone's cruise planner is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccletzgo Posted July 14, 2015 #29 Share Posted July 14, 2015 i just put an over the water cabana at Nellies in my cart and its ready for a credit card payment.

connected98 Posted July 27, 2015 #30 Share Posted July 27, 2015 For those able to book a cabana in Cruise Planner, what stateroom did you book? I'm wondering if stateroom class affects ability to book. I am travelling on Sept 26th on Oasis and my Cruise Planner says I can only book onboard.

Only bare foot beach for suites only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropiclvrs Posted July 31, 2015 #32 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Has anyone been successful reserving upon embarkation? Just wondering if there are really any left to reserve that day, or they mainly o to the suite guests who didn't get one on Barefoot Beach?

CaroleSS Posted August 2, 2015 #33 Share Posted August 2, 2015 We are 100 days out and the excursion planner tells me that I need to book onboard. We are not in a suite, so we don't have the ability to book through the concierge. I have tried calling the Shore Excursion desk as well as the Captain's Club number and they all tell me that I have to book once aboard. I don't understand how some people can vook ahead and others can't. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel guy Posted August 8, 2015 #34 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I am 90 days out and still can't see over water cabanas on the excursion list. I am in a D3 balcony. I called customer service and they repeated what others have been told: you must reserve these onboard. This makes me doubt that anyone on the boards claiming to make reservations online (recently) are in regular cabins. They must be in suites and referring to the Barefoot Beach cabanas. Nellies Beach cabanas can not be reserved online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahleebones Posted August 20, 2015 #40 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Thanks! I keep checking daily....however at 416 CAD I'm not sure I'm going to do it. That's a bit steep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleSS Posted August 20, 2015 #41 Share Posted August 20, 2015 How is it that some can book ahead of time (albeit at a steep price) and others cannot? We sail through Celebrity and are not able to book in advance. I look daily, but with only 8 cabanas, I'm concerned that we won't be able to get one. I e even tried to book through The RCL site, but they don't show us as having a reservation, so no dice. We plan to get to the pier early and board as soon as possible, but since we are not in a suite, so we are at the mercy of "timing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have problems with different things showing up and not and some cant get the payments part of the web site to take there CC's. The inconsistencies are crazy, but just keep checking your cruise planner. It just showed up one day on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahleebones Posted September 1, 2015 #43 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Well....over the water just showed up today - but automatically "Book On Board". The beach and hillside are MIA. And it's only 422 CAD! LOL Really I don't believe it is worth it. I would pay 250, but there's no way I'm paying over 400 for a hut with water, fruit and floaties. Loved the OTW on barefoot the last time I was in Labadee but no chance I'll pay over 400. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahleebones Posted September 1, 2015 #45 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Approx 325 USD. We are getting nailed on exchange right now. I'd pay 300...but I can't justify 400 for 2 people for 4-5 hours. And then what if it's a crappy day? I'd be pissed lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did that on Oasis this spring. Barefoot Beach in Labadee may be a little cheaper than Nellies, so find a friend with a suite. We met our cabana mate on the roll call. On Freedom our table mates had the one next to us. Did not realize that until dinner on 3rd day. We were in Chops first night and they went to Chops second night, so we never met until the 3rd night. That's the problem with getting to Labadee early in week. You haven't really met anyone yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Nellie's is always soooo crowded. Not worth it to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Nellie's is always soooo crowded.Not worth it to us. Yeah - I'd probably pay it for Barefoot - but not Nellies. When our dollar was closer I'd pay 325 but at 35 cents on the dollar it is just too much. Either way - it's not available anyway. It was posted yesterday morning (I was checking daily) and it's not only the button stating on board only, it's right in the title.
