Poll:Cabanas

Just to see where everyone stands.

We're planning on renting one. We have 2 young children and won't be doing any other shore excursions. We know it's a lot of money (to us anyway) but it would make our day there much better.

When thinking of Castaway Cay (before kids) we thought of serenity, calmness, relaxation, paradise......

After kids I think of all the sand that's going to end up in the diapers, mouth, eyes, sun burns, etc.

Hopefully this will help me relax.....bring the kids in out of the sun, shower to wash off sand, cold drinks, place to change and put all of our stuff.

Plus we'll be celebrating our 11th anniversary (actually date the day before we cruise) so this will be our gift to each other.

I would love too but there are too many other items I want more. Since I am a social worker and I save every penny to afford to cruise DCL I will not be renting a cabana

 

[mouseears1]

I wouldn't rent one. I don't think they are a good value for what is offered. Just my opinion

 

[ibouncetoo]

I plan to rent one with 7 of my DIS pals! Cost isn't bad when you are paying 1/8th. I can't take that much sun, but love to be in the water...this looks like the perfect way for me to spend the whole day outside.

No interest as of now. I'll stick with the umbrella and chairs.

I voted for no way. I have stated this on other threads. They are a rip off. That is my opinion.

 

[DVC4me4Ever]

I must be way behind the times on this subject...how much are they going to cost for the day? And more importantly when are they going to put them on the excursion list to rent? I have been checking a few times a week but the last time I was on DCL Castaway Club site nothing was there, did I miss something or an announcement.

I think I will rent one but then again I can easily say that because I don't know how much they are!!! Please help set me straight.....

You didn't have an option for this so I didn't vote...but here is my thing. These are sooo me...I usually splurge for stuff like this. But the last 2 times at CC, I spent VERY little time hanging out on the beach. I snorkled, sat at the bar (which I like to do), went parasailing, did the yoga on the beach, got a massage, rode bikes, etc....if I did have a cabana, I figured I would spend about 30 minutes in there. Plus, with DH and I, we like to get back to the ship by 2pm or so. Just enough sun and sand by then. A waste of my money then. If I had kids that were of varying ages and spent the entire day at CC...then I would be in.

 

[Mfedders]

How much are they?

 

[Grandma4ever]

How much are they?

I have heard $499.00 per dsay for up to 8 folks. More than I can afford.

 

[DVC4me4Ever]

When will we be able to book these? Has DCL released any news?

 

[spacegirlbobbie]

Does the dcl site have any info about them? I might book one for my upcoming cruise.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Nothing yet. Last word was "fall".
