At the current time the South Beach ones are not in what will be their final location, but they might be by the time you sail. The advertisement reads... *South Beach is currently in development and is scheduled to open December 2019; all features and timing are subject to change without notice.

Joseph2017China Posted August 19, 2019 #28 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The place is free. Free beach, free pools, food included, beverage package included. People by business class airline tickets and pay 10 times more than me for a flight. So if someone wants a cabana, they can have it. I'll take the free chair. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thezode Posted August 19, 2019 #29 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I just booked Symphony for June 2020 last week and saw the cabanas were $899. Two days later they went up to $1299. I can’t imagine what they’ll be next week. For just a few hours?? 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are only two left on a sailing set the price to $899. If only one cabana is left set it to the max price. If no one is buying at the max price for a week, lower it a little. Close to sail date and still a lot unsold? Drop to the minimum price. All done by computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingJoe09 Posted August 19, 2019 #33 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Does anyone know what song the new CocoCay theme song is based on? I heard a very similar song played in a shop a few weeks ago and don't know the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 19, 2019 #34 Share Posted August 19, 2019 As long as there are people WILLING to pay such ridiculous prices, they will continue to charge it...they may even RAISE the prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco_rich Posted August 19, 2019 #35 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Got off the Mariner this morning, apart from using drink package spent nothing and had a great day, plenty of sun and shade, pool is amazing 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milwaukee Eight Posted August 19, 2019 #36 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Demand sets price. Price will fluctuate up/down based on demand. Set price too low, people upset when sold out. This is simple economics 101. Royal is in the business to make money for its shareholders. Edited August 19, 2019 by Milwaukee Eight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there more on offer than burgers, sandwiches, salads - like an actual meal? I can’t seem to find an answer for this.

depplep Posted August 19, 2019 #42 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The only places open were Windjammer or Playmakers opened at 1:30. Windjammer is buffet, Playmakers typical bar food. Very little open while at Coco Cay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is $500 more than my OV balcony cabin cost. I would take that money and donate with a chance of winning to the Casino. I realize they have to pay for this 200 million dollar upgrade somehow, just not getting it from me. Each sailing and ship prices are different.

opshannon Posted August 19, 2019 #46 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Having read through all the posts in this thread, I'm wondering if anyone has pointed out how supply and demand works and that if people are willing to pay the prices will remain high. Seems like someone should point that out. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people must still be purchasing, if not they wouldn't raise the prices. We were there on Mariner in July and did the water park and explored the rest. There is so much to do there even without the water park I don't think I would want to be tied down to a cabana. The beach is still nice. The bay is a nice calm beach area. The pool is great with plenty of in water loungers. Good food selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticMCO Posted August 19, 2019 #48 Share Posted August 19, 2019 We were there last Thursday; it is likely the best private island by far of any line. The place has everything you could want and more than enough chairs/umbrellas/drinks everywhere/food everywhere; pay for the water park and other stuff or not, makes no difference, Your nuts if you stay on the ship. As far as cabanas who cares? Buy it or not it's your money and the market will dictate price. Just wait until December when the new beach club opens (saw the construction equipment/fences). Can't wait for people to howl about those prices and then immediately pay to go... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can stay on the ship and have it all to myself. No interest in their private isalnd. Food/Drinks/Pool on board. Not nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
