lawyerrose Posted July 7, 2006 #52 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Thanks you two!! We have them in Delray Beach, but I've always called them "cabanas." They're perfect for those of us who can't take a lot of sun, but love the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherInFlorida Posted July 8, 2006 #53 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Heather gave you a good picture of the back of one so thought I'd throw in one that shows the front. (my DH doesn't come with it though :) ) http://community.webshots.com/photo/550793852/2337498360081391383PbWXHk Sharon, I tried this link but was told it's a private album and you have to invite me!:) So I didn't get to see hubby. Lawyerrose, yes! I've seen them in Delray ... right opposite Boston's as a matter of fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lvteks Posted July 8, 2006 #56 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hi Kim, Just having fun with my new hi-speed vs dial-up and decided to check in on CC....and found this board. We had that cabana this year in February. Then I read your signature and had to do some homework. We both joined CC in 2002....but I'm not sure when I started using "Blessings." I think yours is the only one I've seen. I like "Blessings" so much. It converys for me, a personal way of saying to all I write....."I share your adventure and wish all good things for you no matter where or if our paths may cross." I arranged for the cabana after reading about it on CC. There were five, all family, and it was a great way to meet and relax between excursions. I wasn't impressed with staffing...actually two ??pursers? in white came by and we asked for more chips and found everything else by just checking around. There didn't seem to be anyone assigned to check on the cabanas as such. One funny thing, some guy from the clamshell in front of us, just walked up the steps and plopped himself on one of the lounge chairs. Only my husband and I were there so we talked for a while then I went off to the "necessary" (yes, it is convenient) and we got ready to leave shortly after that. I don't think he had a clue. I think if someone arriving on the earliest date used a cup screw, one could attach it to the inside of the cabinet. Somehow a sign in English and Spanish mich be added to indicate that it is for------------arriving on-----------. Of course it has to be in plastic or such for protection. It's a thought. We would have enjoyed doing something like that. I hope you all have a great time. Blessings, Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmastron Posted July 10, 2006 #57 Share Posted July 10, 2006 You can add my family to the list for November 6th... Question for those that have enjoyed the cabana's in the past --- are "interlopers" a big problem for the turquoise cabanas? I was reading a thread on the Westerdam boards and one person wrote about 15 incidents during their stay on HMC when people just walked up to "use" equipment or shower in the cabana. Is this problem really that wide spread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherInFlorida Posted July 10, 2006 #58 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Jmastron, we didn't even have one uninvited visitor. And I can't begin to guess why the turquoise would be any more likely to have interlopers than any other color. They all run along the beach in close proximity. I'll be honest, if anyone had come up and sat themselves down in ours I would have politely explained that we had rented it. The first time I was at HMC I had no idea what they were or how people got them so it may be that some people thing it's "open sitting":D . I would not hesitate to explain to someone that they're not! The thread I read where people seemed to drop by, I don't think anyone explained the situation to them.

jmastron Posted July 11, 2006 #59 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Heather, Thanks. I was hoping that would be the case. The cabana is a splurge for us, and I really am looking forward to it. It would really ruin the day if I encounter rude people. Definitely understand innocent misconception and can politely explain the situation. I guess the notion that the turquois would be more subject to uninvited guests would be because of its location .. close to restrooms and bbq area. Having never been there before, I am truly relying on the wealth of information I am gathering from this website. Thanks for your feedback. It was very much appreciated.

AlohaPride Posted July 12, 2006 #62 Share Posted July 12, 2006 These are clamshells: HMC Clamshells. You can get two chaises in there and it gives you shade and some mild privacy. My LORD! Look how packed the beach is!!!! Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy7 Posted July 12, 2006 #63 Share Posted July 12, 2006 My LORD! Look how packed the beach is!!!! Wow! Keep in mind, that is the very first half of the beach where everyone tends to gather, farther down the beach is less crowded, also there were 2 ships in port. Here is what it looks like with one ship there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonN Posted July 29, 2006 #64 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Well sadly I won't be the first person to setup and leave the keychain as planned since I've had to cancel the cruise.

duckman715 Posted August 23, 2006 #70 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Please add Duckman715 (aka Bill & Sandy) to the Royal and Ancient Order of Inhabitants of Ye Mystic Turquoise Cabana. We have it booked for January 5, 2007. The guestbook is a great idea by the way. I'm sure HAL would not mind if we left one there for members of this (not so) secret society to record their deeds of glory and/or rum whilst in attendance.

duckman715 Posted August 27, 2006 #74 Share Posted August 27, 2006 For those who follow us (Duckman715 on 1/5) I will leave a small - airline size - bottle of rum, or two. Jodster, I believe that is you. If someone who is using the cabana prior to 1/5 could indicate on this thread where a good place to leave this elixir might be, I (and Jodster too I imagine) would be grateful. I hear there be pirates in those waters who might be tempted to swill another's grog if'n it not be properly secured. Bill & Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then let them dig for the prize :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
