What do you get with a cabana on CC?

[Laine Anderson]

I was reading a two year old article about what comes with the cabanas and I wanted to hear from recent cruisers to see if this was still the case.
According to the article, snorkeling equipment, inner tubes, sunscreen and bike rentals are a part of the fee. Is that still the case?
I also have food allergies and like last time, I'll be ordering my lunch at dinner the night before. Will the servers pick that up for me or do I need to get my own lunch?
Thanks,
Laine

I don't know if this will answer all your questions, but you might want to watch this video Pete recently made about the Cabanas.

Those are correct for the family beach cabanas.

You get your own lunch.

Good write up. http://disneycruiselineblog.com/2016/04/family-beach-cabana-experience-disneys-castaway-cay/

Private beach in family cabanas

There is a safe in them, just as in your onboard cabin.

You can eat lunch there (table and chairs). Your host might give you a ride to/from the buffet.

There is a changing curtain for get into/out of swimwear

A drink host will come and take your order for alcoholic drinks and bring them to you.

They provide a plate of cold, wet towels. Great for cleaning/cooling off.

Lot of chairs inside and out (on the porch) for relaxing

Once at the end of the day, our host took us from our cabana to the ship's reboarding point in his golfcart. Wow!

We have gotten a cabana on Serenity Bay 4 times and alcoholic drinks were never included in the price. We have ordered drinks and had them delivered but paid for them. Only water and soda in the fridge.

When the cabanas first opened, pitchers of punch were included. One was alcoholic and one was not. We had a cabana on our very first cruise which was Dec/10 into Jan/11 and experienced this. I don't think it lasted very long. For certain, by the next time we had a cabana no fruit punch was provided.

I was reading a two year old article about what comes with the cabanas and I wanted to hear from recent cruisers to see if this was still the case.

If you read an article from that period, you may have read that the sand and water was not as nice in the lagoon as it was in the beach. Indeed, that was my own experience when we visited a year ago. Over the weekend, I was pleasantly surprised that the sand was much nicer and finer grained along the lagoon. They must have replaced it at some point over the last 12 months(?). The water was was still murky in the lagoon and the kids had fun challenging each other to go through the most "yucky" parts, whereas the water along the beach was crystal clear. All the marine life seemed to hang out in the lagoon.

Can you order the drink of the day through your cabana host? Can you use your beer mug token on CC with the CC host? Other than the printed beer/wine packages, are there other drink specials? I've heard of 2 for 1 drinks in the afternoon, is that at a bar or also available through CC host? TY for advice and info
