SuperCoolOne Posted June 8, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2009 With the kids, I am thinking we will need one or 2 clamshells. Do we need to rent these early (sailing on carnival)? Also, I am planning on parasailing but no one else in my party will be. Will we get to go onto HMC together? I know those on excursions seem to leave the ship first.

lka1012 Posted June 9, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I have yet to see clamshells sell out. I suppose it is possible if two ships were there. I know with HAL, I can pre-book a clamshell through the shore excursions section. But I would not worry, book it when you get on board, then sit back and enjoy the island.

eh2zed Posted June 9, 2009 #3 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Never seen them sellout but only any of the three times there but only once were there 2 Vistas ships in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamscckmc Posted June 9, 2009 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Is there enough shade that you don't need to pay for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh2zed Posted June 9, 2009 #5 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Shade is a bit sparse at the near end of the beach. A bit more plentiful and available at the far end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koshlong Posted June 11, 2009 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I was put on a waitlist a year and a half ago, but we were assigned a clamshell when we boarded. We met a family with a small baby who had expected to be able to rent when they arrived on the island. They couldn't get one. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find a sellout if 2 ships were in port. If there are enough passengers there to fill all of the clamshells, I would suspect that it would be pretty hard to find any "free shade". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted June 12, 2009 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Use a lot of sunscreen, find a tree, or head back to the ship! No way would I pay for 2 clamshells!--one would be more than sufficient....after all, you won't be sitting under it all day--right? If you are, then staying on the ship might be the safer bet! Whether they sell-out really differs from sailing to sailing....book at least 1 in advance if you feel you must! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
