Thanks everyone for all your help.

I think there's only 4 cabanas on Serenity Bay. Here's a capture I did from Google (not a great picture, sorry)

Sorry but, what you numbered are the massage treatment cabanas. Cabanas 18 to 21 are to the left in that photo, except that photo is old and the cabanas were not built yet. After the massage cabana is #18, then some scrubs then #19 and 20 (located beside each other with less than two feet between them), then some more brush, then finally #21. The entrance to the beach is on the right of cabana # 19, and another entrance is by cabana 21

Also there is no #13 on family beach. It is skipped like hotel floors.

We loved #18.

Do anyone have more recent photos of the new cabanas being built?

From the family cabana beach can our kids walk to Pelican Plunge (on the sand vs walking around)? We booked #6.

We had cabana #6 in December. I did note a gate/opening in the fence that separated the cabana beach from the Pelican Plunge area. It looked like an easy walk to that area. Sometimes a CM was sitting there to monitor comings and goings, but with a cabana band I assume there would be no problem (albeit, we did not go over to that area).

P.S. - You will love Cabana #6. We thought it the perfect location and best view!

I've never posted a picture before so I hope this works. This is the view from cabana #6 when the Dream sailed by while the Wonder was docked on Oct 2, 2013.

Hi everyone, we're booked on our first Disney cruise for this coming March. I'll be sailing with a baby and a toddler and would really like to rent a cabana. Of course since we are first time cruisers they were all sold out by the time I checked. Any tips to be able to still snag one? They say check everyday online but does anyone know what time they release the cancelled cabanas? I'd like to set my alarm to check at least twice a day until we sail. I just think with having two little kids it is a good idea to have a home base while at that beach.

Thank you for your help!

Basically it's ad hoc, there is no set time, someone cancels now it may be available now so keep checking

Last week before the cruise maybe good as you have to cancel before 72 hours and people may re think the cost then, up to them it's cost them nothing to hold one.

Note concierge have a wait list and will also be interested in cabanas that may cancel.

Also, check with guest services when you first board. It worked for us.

I am new to Disney Cruising. Waiting for them to release the rest of 2015. We would love to get a Cabana. Is this something we need to book at the time we book our trip? Or is this something only for return guests?

You cannot book it when booking cruise, you select it at you booking window for shore trips these are based on how many cruises people have taken with DCL

So concierge cruisers and repeat cruisers get first licks and they can sell out quickly, as a new Disney cruiser you will book at 75 days pre cruise unless your concierge.
