It's a recent change while South Beach is closed. That's why I am asking. They moved them there temporarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They moved them there temporarily. Ahhh...Ok. The last time I was there was in June. South Beach was not yet under construction for the new "over the water" construction. There were only Cabanas at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booplesnoople Posted August 1, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Ah, the elusive Beach Beds. I last saw them advertised right before I booked my cruise back in March, and now they've vanished entirely. Not sure if they're sold out, they've been removed while South Beach gets its update, or what, but I eventually gave up and got a cabana. This is the only information I could find about them and it's dated as f, and once you hit "Ready to reserve?" and enter your info it disappears. I've only been around on CC for a few months, but if there's anything I've learned from my time here it's that RCI is whacky. Have you tried calling their planning helpline? EDIT From what I understand they were advertised as South Beach but had been moved to Chill Island while SB was being updated right before I stopped seeing info for them entirely.

C_hasRedBottoms Posted August 1, 2019 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2019 We had a beach bed in its new location. The attendant was great. It was close to a food station. Bar service was plentiful and fast. The bathrooms are clean. The tram stop is nearby. The beach was beautiful. The only issue with the new location was hearing the loud music from the pool. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabethbp Posted August 1, 2019 #9 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I had similar question. I am booked on Anthem over the New Yr and beach beds are not showing, not even as sold out. Does anyone know if they will be available and/or how to book them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the quick review. Do the attendants take care of the beach beds as well? What can they do for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeFan Posted August 1, 2019 Author #11 Share Posted August 1, 2019 How was the view? Do they face the beach? I know on South Beach there were two rows and the front row was close to the water. The statement about the loud music tells me it a short walk to the pool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also kept her eyes on things by removing people who hadn’t paid for the beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowglobe Posted September 7, 2019 #17 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Where exactly are the beach beds at Chill Island located? Towards South Beach, facing where the jet skis are? Can you please name the nearest feature that I can locate on the plan for CoCoCay? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmn531 Posted September 17, 2019 #18 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I just booked a beach bed. It was 199. with 2 floating mats. I had never seen it until today on the cruise planner. Had to call to reserve as the website is not set up to take reservations for them. Will let you guys know more when we return from the trip... Only 3 more days of work before vacation !!!!

Curious to know as we've seen/heard different things...we booked the beach bed online a couple weeks ago, but how/when do we find out the specific bed assignment or do we get to choose? Do we check in with the excursion desk once we get on-board? Should we call RCCL "now" to get the assignment? Do we wait until we arrive @ Coco Cay (surprise)? How did you find out your assignment/bed location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twins_to_alaska Posted September 17, 2019 #20 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Looks like the moderators deleted my post showing the link, not sure why as it was a useful MAP of the day beds, cabanas, and bungalows... here's an image. The day beds are to the left of the new over the water bungalows just above the oasis pool swim up bar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a concierge and you will be given your wristbands and told to pick your bed. Your towels, waters, 2 lounge chairs and mats are there as well.

Thank you. 🙂 We do love surprises. So you said "told to pick your bed"? You mean they aren't pre-assigned? Hummm. Intriguing. It all sounds wonderful. We are so ready for this vacation. Too bad we have to wait until Feb. Edited September 17, 2019 by SuzD123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t arrive super early, the beds weren’t sold out and we were able to get a very good spot with plenty of options. We are going back in February 2020 too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that not being able to book online is in line with the always up and fully functional RCI website 😉 Have a great time on the cruise!
