Castaway Cay Cabana's at no cost?

[stkgator]

Looking at the CC Cabana availability for August 8, 2021 and noticed that #22-25 are priced at zero dollars with #26-27 at $428.93 and #2-20 at $670.88. Is this normal?

Notice they are sold out

In your example, all the ones at $0 also have a "Sold Out" bullet? Is #26 still available?

Yes, they are all sold out, but I was fortunate to reserve one of the zero-dollar cabanas. This is my first Disney Cruise, but I assume that a CC Cabana at no cost is unusual?

It’s not only unusual, but surely a mistake. You will be charged full price for it.

I've seen this before. It's an error and will be fixed to the correct cost before you sail. Enjoy your cabana! They are fantastic.

Yea, something doesn't compute. I'd plan to pay for that bad boy.

Hi all! We always rent a cabana while staying at Grand Floridian or Beach Club and love them. Wondering what is included in the cabanas at castaway cay?

Before you get excited about these cabanas, realize that a cabana on the family beach (accessible to those under 18) are almost impossible to get if you aren't sailing concierge. If you want one on the adult beach (not accessible to anyone under 18), you have a better chance, but it's still unlikely unless you're at least a gold or platinum level cruiser.

That said, the cabanas have a small refrigerator with beverages, some basic snacks, sunscreen, magazines, towels, a safe, a hammock outside, some basic beach gear, etc. You also get use of the exclusive cabanas section beach area that other cruisers aren't supposed to go into.

Bike rental, a few soft drinks and bottles of water, a bowl of fruits,sunscreen. There is a safe, a space to change and a shower. Towels included. I think I remember floating mats, a hammock… and a fan in the cabana.

Unlike the Beach Club cabana (boy did we love that one!) there is no TV.

Also, I don’t remember having an A/C.


There is a button you can press and someone will come and take your order.

EDIT: I agree with Cheburashka. We got a cabana while we were silver but we were looking for a serenity bay cabana (adults), we were sailing on a classic ship (smaller guests capacity) and I was up to book as soon as everything opened.
