Cabana #7

[honeybeesmom]

Hello, Can anyone share any information about this cabana? We were able to book this one last night. We were just wondering how it was. Any information/pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Looks like you have the photos all covered, so I won't add more - but our family has been in #7 and #8 by request, and they were both perfect and lovely (and not as far down the path from the food and restrooms as you might think, either). It was all perfectly manageable. You will have a wonderful time.

We have number 7 booked on December 10! We have been in 16 and 18 so excited to try one with a view of the ship.

Im a first time cruiser and wanted to ask if you are a concierge guest? I was told basically the only way we are guaranteed a cabana would to book concierge. With the almost $2000 price difference I dont know if it would be worth it.

Booking a concierge room is pretty much a guaranteed cabana. But not necessarily. There are non-concierge guests that book cabanas also. It just depends on how many concierge/platinum cruisers want one 120 days out, then gold members at 90 days, and silver at 90 days. If not very many people are interested in them, it's slightly possible for a new cruiser to get one when their window opens.

More likely, a first time cruiser who's not concierge, or a silver Castaway Club member, can snag one if someone cancels a reservation prior to the cruise (yes it does happen). Or onboard join the wait list and see if someone gives one up once the cruise starts.

Thanks for the info. Im unsure if I want to risk not getting one. If concierge would we be able to pre book meet and greets?

"Prebook" as in before the cruise - yes. "Prebook" as in before any one else - sort of.

Meet & Greets, Princess Gatherings, and Character Breakfasts (on those cruises that have one) are bookable by everyone when their excursion booking window opens.

As Concierge, you let the shoreside concierge staff know your desires in those things (including your cabana desire) at 125 days out. At 120 days out, in the split second that the bookings open to both Concierge and Platinum Castaway Club members, the Concierge bookings go through first.
