kasil Posted October 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2019 The on-line description of the beach beds states that there is a maximum of 4 guests per bed. Does that mean the bed is big enough for 4 adults? Or is it meant for 2 adults and 2 kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean the bed is big enough for 4 adults? Or is it meant for 2 adults and 2 kids? It's roughly the size of a king size bed, maybe a skosh bigger in each direction. If you're all lying down on the bed at the same time, you'll be cozy. However, if you're just going to lie in bed all day, why not stay on the ship for free? Most of the cabanas and beds were empty most of the time when I was on Coco Cay last month... people are in the water, at the pool, at the buffet, etc., much of the day, rather than lounging on a bed.

Bluegirl Posted October 9, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I'm researching this now (and I love that it's an option since I need a shady place to sit when not in the water AND my instant-sunburn husband won't even go to the beach with me unless he knows there will be shade waiting for there him). Based on videos posted on Youtube, the beds look pretty generous in size and include 2 loungers. Cococay Beach Beds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twins_to_alaska Posted October 9, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) They no longer include the loungers. Get 2 floating mats, water, beach towels. Edited October 9, 2019 by twins_to_alaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shade is EVERYWHERE on Coco Cay now -- there is a 2-chair umbrella every 2-4 loungers on every beach and around the pool. No need for a beach bed just to get shade.

Bluegirl Posted October 9, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Thanks for the info. It will be my first time at Cococay. I think you've both talked me out of the beach beds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with getting one, but I'm frugal with my money, and if I can get plenty of shade easily without spending a dime, that's exactly what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna save that $200 or so and put it towards another cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzygirl Posted October 10, 2019 #9 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I was wondering about availability of umbrella chairs but we will be on Navigator and only ship (3800 peeps) vs 5800 on other ships. So maybe getting chairs in the shade won’t be impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe getting chairs in the shade won’t be impossible I was there twice on Mariner a few weeks ago (B2B) and getting chairs wasn't a problem either time. The first week, we didn't get to the pool until after lunch (had a wedding that morning) and got chairs and an umbrella. We did the first beach over the bridge the morning of the second stop and got chairs and an umbrella right next to the bar. We even changed beaches after lunch and had no problem walking up to two empty chairs under an umbrella. If you're the only ship and that ship is a Voyager class, there will be chairs and umbrellas EVERYWHERE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost 8000 I think I'll keep the bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost 8000 It's only "almost 8000" if both ships are completely filled to absolute max capacity.... which rarely happens outside of school holidays.

twins_to_alaska Posted January 15, 2020 #18 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hmm... my listing still doesn't state loungers... 2 floating mats for the ocean but no loungers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare brillohead Posted January 15, 2020 #19 Share Posted January 15, 2020 They probably don't mention loungers being included with the beach bed because loungers are free and plentiful for everyone, whereas the beach mats and waters aren't free. If you want a lounger near your beach bed, I'm sure the attendant will drag one closer for you if you don't want to drag it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaTeach Posted January 15, 2020 #20 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Not sure if changes have occurred, but was there 3 times in Nov. and Dec. Each time we had 2 loungers with our bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlimazel_traveler Posted January 15, 2020 #21 Share Posted January 15, 2020 The beach bed has curtains on three sides and can provide really nice shade. We loved having it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
