Same for our 5/8 cruise. I understand there is no Cabana #13, but what's up with #16?
I had #16 just 3 days ago. I don't know why it's not showing up. It's definitely there and it's in good condition.

For those who have had cabanas, can you give us an idea how they work please as I have read conflicting reports. Do they take you to the cabanas in a golf cart? Is there a pitcher of adult and kid friendly punch? Do the attendants get you anything like food or more drinks?
Thanks!

In November we did have punch of both kinds (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). However, we were on Serenity Bay (adult beach). They did take us to our cabana in a golf cart eventhough it was a very short walk. I think it depends on the concierge attending to you. The concierge will get you just about anything you want. The alcoholic beverages are not free but he will fetch them. Ours got us Konk Koolers twice that day. I am not sure they do food for you but they will take you in the golfcart to the lunch area. BUT... you do have snacks and a fruit basket. The snacks are refillable and to my understanding, the fruit is not. Hope this helps!
I was just looking at the ones available for my July 5th cruise and only 3 of the adult beach ones show up (and they are all booked as well). I wonder if DCL holds some back to you have a chance to book them when you board?It looks like all the cabanas on the family beach are booked for my 5/1/11 cruise Why is there no #13 or #16 showing on the list of cabanas when I tried to book one?
Is the consensus that it is worth the price?
We will be staying on the Concierge deck and in the past enjoyed the cabanas at the water parks. I'm just not sure we would use it on CC.
Last January there was plenty of space in the family beach on the Magic, but is it more crowded with the Dream? Is it more crowded in the warmer months? (January was COLD.)

Do you remember, the price? Not that it really matters.. Pretty much, only drink rum, at the beach.
We didn't pay anything for them. They were in our fridge and included in the cabana.
There have been reports that the rum punch is no longer included with the cabana.
Looking forward to #12 next week...
We did book both the cabana and sting ray excursion...just wondering if that is to much...but the sting ray's are only supposed to be 1 hour.
Anyone else do both?
Where do you go for the sting ray excursion?...near Serenity Bay?
I had #5 in February and #16 in April. No punch, no rum punch either time. Sodas, fruit bowl, bottled evian and coppertone sunscreen were included.
To phototech11 doing the stingray tour: If you're doing just the one tour and are planning to be among the first off the ship and the last to return, I think it would still be worth getting the cabana. If you're going to do the tour, ride bikes, take multiple trips on pelican plunge (and wait in line each time) then you might not have much time to spend in the cabana. Is it just your family?
I think it's nice to have but it certainly won't spoil a trip for me if we just do the family beach. In fact, we just booked the double-CC Dream trip for January and concierge was sold out already. So, we have no chance to prebook a cabana. DH and I have decided that we are not going to rush to the ship just to get on a waiting list. (I dislike a crushed, stressful boarding and I know the Dream is much bigger than the Wonder and Magic. We'll just board later and miss the initial boarding frenzy.) Since it will be January and cooler than our previous trips to CC, we're going to rent bikes and explore the island. We'll probably still put our name on a waiting list if the weather is forecast to be warm; but we won't hold our breath about getting one.
