cabanas on Castaway Cay

[2P2W]

Hi, Can you only get a cabana if you are concierge level?

Its a lot harder if you are not concierge but possible.

They get to pre choose at 125 days and its booked for them at 120 days, there is a reasonable chance of them selling out then.
Then platinum at 120 days join them then gold at 105 days then silver at 90 days.

They will sell out fast, but not everyone wants one.

We were lucky enough to snag one on our last cruise. I checked every day, sometimes people cancel and one will open up. We were not concierge and this was only our second cruise so it is possible! I think it was about 3-4 weeks before the cruise when ours became available. Also check with the shore excursion and guest services desk on the cruise. Those that booked it have until shortly before the day at Castaway Cay to cancel and get their money back so one could open up while you're on the ship.

We just got the Grand Cabana on the Sept 11th cruise! it was fabulous! We are gold level but I was on at midnight and it was the first thing I did when I got on the computer. Good luck!

We got a cabana on each leg of our upcoming B2B cruise. We are Gold CC level and I logged in at midnight on the day(s) our booking window opened. There were several to chose from on both the family beach and SB and they were still some available 2wks after booking. We're sailing the Magic so not as many passengers as the 2 newer ships. I'm the past we have gotten one simply by asking at the Port Excursion desk a day or two before docking at CC.

Thank you all! We will keep trying then!! I now know there is hope!!

Also - cabana reservations have to be cancelled 3 days prior to the start of a cruise in order to get a full refund so make sure you check availability 3 and 2 days prior to departure. Good luck!

Mickey4me! thats great advice thank you!

Certainly make sure you check back regularly. My wife and I have a cabana booked for our Christmas cruise but we are already thinking about canceling. There is always a chance to catch one on a cancellation.

I was a first time cruiser in June on the Dream and got a cabana by checking daily ... Somebody canceled mid-day and I reserved it, but then we decided to save the money for our trip to WDW which was before the cruise. I posted on these boards that I was canceling, so people knew to log on ... Anything is possible!!! Keep checking!! Cheers!
