Great Stirrup Cay Cabanas

[cooncat_mom]

I tried searching this, but no luck... I do still miss the old search function... My husband and I are cruising on the Bliss in March and I've been looking for a cabana of some sort on GSC, but not something as fancy as their Villas.  Will they have smaller, lower priced beach shelters for rent (we're not big beach people - we just want shade!) there? The Villas are lovely but a little high priced for a half day! Thanks!

They should have clam shells.

When my husband and I were there 2 or 3 years ago we rented a clam shell. It comes with two lounge chairs and it provided enough shade for the both of us. I think the cost was something like $39 for the two of us. It could be higher now.

A Clamshell (for two loungers) should cost around $40-$50 (I don't recall).  Be sure to get one with the mesh for good air-flow!!!  They can be booked onboard the ship, which will get you a Tender Ticket to use.

 

Cabanas seem to be "off-limits" currently, unless they have completed construction in the area.

You could try calling the Shore Excursion desk at 1-866-625-1167 to ask any questions you might have!

(Great Stirrup Cay does not get much mention ...last post was a reply I made on 2/8/20.)

              ***Also of note, NCL's Harvest Caye is found in the BELIZE forum!

Clamshells, if you don't get the mesh backed kind, just prop up the bottom of the cover to get some through breeze.

Nice - thank you! That would certainly work.  Do they offer them online or is it a stampede at the beach?

They sell out fast.

I believe it!  If we can't get one, we'll just tour around and go back to the ship. The Bliss is pretty big so I know there's some competition there.   We'll give it a shot!
