sirdavid Posted March 23, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Holland America Western Caribbean Cruise March 11, 2007. THE GRAND CABANA AT HMC. We pushed the “boat” out and reserved the new Grand Cabana at the ever wonderful HMC! There were six of us and it was OUTSTANDING! Our own bartender (from the Crows Nest) and our own cook (from the Pinnacle Grill) Great clean and private bathrooms and a modern glass walled private shower. Great fun was had in the hot tub and great food and liquor flowed all day long. Yes, it is just passed the children’s play area. But the “grownup” children had a lot of full playing on the tethered water animals Here are a few pictures taken on March 12, 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobmagg Posted March 24, 2007 #15 Share Posted March 24, 2007 It is called the "Palm Package." PRICE: $1195 per person " Did you mean $1,195.00 per person???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old As Dirt Mom Posted March 24, 2007 #16 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Did you mean $1,195.00 per person???? $1,195.00 is a base rate applicable for up to 12 people. Only one person needs to book this cabana. So if you have 12 people willing to split the cost, that would come to approx $100 per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerzigal Posted March 24, 2007 #17 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Sir David, Thanks so very much for the pix. We're considering it for our November cruise, but I have a couple quesitons...... Is it easy to get to? We have a Friend with multiple sclerosis who's considering joining us. Is there any area to be sure to be cool? She also has problems with high heat situations. I read somewhere that they have "misters." Do you remember where they're located? Thanks in advance for any help you can give us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted March 24, 2007 #18 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Thanks for posting the pictures. I remember when HAL built that area a couple of years and originally it was to be another bar/saloon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetair Posted July 9, 2007 #20 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Thank you sir david for posting the information and pictures!!! i just reserved this for our trip in december2007. one of the answers i was looking for was the proximity of the bathrooms So happy they have their own private ones! I do have a couple questions if you could help me out... I know tipping is a personal choice but who are we going to tip? the butler and the chef? are there any more expecting a tip? approximately how much is "recommended"? second: there is a masseuse available for a TIP or pay per 30 minutes? thank you in advance, *sweet* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
