Can anyone direct me to a map that shows where the bathrooms, closest bar (gotta have those Konk Koolers!), closest shops, and Cookies Too are in relation to the cabanas? I'm just wondering how far the walk will be for the senior folks in our travel group.

TIA!

The concierge can help get food and drinks as stated above, but the restrooms are right outside the Cabana gate just past Cabana #1.

How much do you tip the concierge at the end of the day? We will hopefully get a cabana on Serenity Bay (2 adults) and will ask for transpo to lunch and maybe to have drinks delivered once or twice during the day.

I would say it depends on how much they do for you during the day. We tipped $10 per person since we only used the concierge to order drinks one time and he woke us all up at 4:15 to let us know it was time to pack up to get back on the ship.

Congratulations Wendy&Grumpy. I've been watching this thread for awhile and I was hoping you would get your cabana. It gives me a little hope for my own upcoming trip. My one question is how did you get it before midnight? According to your post time you posted at 11:40PM. Or is my message board clock off somehow?

Enjoy!!!

 

[SlimKat]

Sorry my error. I see the time above^^^^. I really need to put on my glasses.

Wendy, Awesome that you got your CABANA, which number did you get?

If you have a cabana they won't have to walk! Just page the concierge! He will take you in the golf cart or get drinks for you!

Get out! Really?? They will drive us in a golf cart to She Sells Sea Shells to shop?!? This is too much! I hope DD8 realizes that this whole cabana thing is a special event for her grandparents and doesn't get spoiled by all of it!

I think it depends on the concierge and the make-up of your group. For us, they would only take us to the tram stop where we could catch the tram to go to She Sells.

Back from our FABULOUS cabana on the 7/10 DREAM cruise. Had #12...it is definitely the last one with any kind of beach in front of it. Actually had a volleyball net in front of the cabana - you would have had to drag chairs over. Very rocky/shelly water area - wear water shoes. Loved, loved, loved the cabana and would do it again!

We are back from our 7/5/11 Dream cruise - we had cabana #17 and LOVED it! I have read some posts about being on the end and maybe not a good thing....I thought it was awesome - no one on one side of us and very quiet. No foot traffic at all. When we wanted to swim, we walked just a bit (less than a minute's walk) to the water. We never wanted to use the loungers on the beach...just used the ones at the cabana. Anyone who has any qualms over #17 should feel re-assured... you will love it.

Any input on #14?

We are on the Aug. 16 Dream Double Dip. We have a cabana reserved for both stops at CC but have decided to only keep the cabana for one of the days. Should we keep it for the first stop at CC or the second? Which day is more crowded? Does it matter?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Well you will be the only ship at CC both days so either way it will be the same crowd. However... I would keep it for the last day because I would hate for you to get it the first day and WISH you would have kept it for the last day. Once you give it up you will lose it to someone else.

We just returned from a double dip where we had a cabana the first stop only. We didn't do anything else that day but relax at the cabana. On the second stop, we did the stingray adventure, rode the water bikes, etc. It broke up the 2 days well. While I would have loved a cabana the 2nd stop, we were so busy doing other activities and enjoying the island, that I really didn't miss it. Enjoy!
