Just received this email tonight:

Good Evening Greg 

At this time I do not actually have a Map of these Cabana's as they have yet to be placed. Once this is done I will be able to take a drone photo and create a Map. 

We plan to have this taken care of by the 29th of April if you would like to reach out once again after this date as a gentle reminder to myself if I have not yet sent you the map. 

The decision has been made to have all the Oasis Lagoon Cabana's in the same location. 

I hope this information helps. 

Thank you

Best Regards,

Perfect Day at CocoCay

Once you get to the Cabana area the attendant will have wristbands for however many you are allowed.  I believe with the Perfect Day change over it is 8 people.  I know last year as long as people either gave my name (as the reservation was under me) or cabana # they were given a wristband until I reached the max number of people allowed.

In March at South Beach (that is closed now) you checked in at a booth with last name and cabin number. They gave you the wrist band and walked you to your cabana. I’m guessing there will be a “meeting” spot at each area to check-in and have an orientation of what’s included and who your attendant is for the day.

Definitely want to hear your report...

We sail on the Adventure on May 17th - I hope to have more information before then, but will have better maps and locations at that time.

It's likely that you can save a run there...as you should have the specific information in your cabin with the other traditional detailed paperwork found in your cabin when first boarding.

I have an email into the Manager and Assistant Manager on the Adventure OTS now to see if they can share a map of the cabanas and if the letter is an assignment or actually just a reference to a "cluster" area of cabanas.  Hope to hear back later today.

just so I am clear, can you let me know what I will need to do (if people know) regarding cabanas for suites. I have a suite for a november cruise and I didnt want to wait so I booked a cabana. If there are cabanas for suite guests that are in a different area, how would I go about reserving one?

 

Again, at this point, I am not aware of any "Exclusive Suite" location on Coco Cay (like Barefoot Beach Club on Labadee).  I know they have created various parks with independent admission fees.  See the attached Perfect Day pdf file for the most current information I am aware of.

To my knowledge, Coco Cay does not have an exclusive suites location yet. But I do believe that might be in the works. I believe for each of the three current, eventually five total, cabana locations, there will always be a set number reserved for suite guests.

Interesting. Don't recall that. I might try and call tonight and see what RCCL has to say. We booked our's first of the year and that wasn't a brought up.

There was a Code on my email confirmation as well - I just assumed the letter was referring to the Oasis Lagoon location.  As there are 3 sites with cabanas that should be open in May:  Chill Island, Thrill Water Park and the Oasis Lagoon.

Talk to me about the Cabanas on Coco Cay. If it makes a difference we will be at the Oasis lagoon.

I'm used to the ones at St. Martin. Fully enclosed with A/C, or you can leave the door open and relax on the small patio.

They are open air Cabanas with power and some have ceiling fans and bluetooth speaker options.  I think there should be more details here:  https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/what-kinds-of-cabanas-are-available-at-perfect-day-at-cococay

Anyone here familiar at all with Star Class Suites?  Can your genie book you a cabana or do you need to book one on line first?  In Labadee the genie usually does it so I never looked into it.  We are going on Harmony in June and it looks like there are no more cabanas to reserve on the website.  Am I just out of luck?  Thank you in advance for any info.  

from what I was told on the Anthem when I booked my Lagoon Cabana, there are a set number of cabanas set aside for Star Class Suites and Pinnacles (on a first come, first serve basis).  Unlike Labadee's Barefoot beach, that was exclusive to Suites, Pinnacle and if space was available, Diamond +, I am not aware with the current open potion of the island that is exclusive to Suite and Pinnacle Guests.  I know there are going to be some items coming to what was South Shore that may be exclusive areas, but I am not aware of them open until December or later in 2019.

While on the Anthem in March, I spoke with the Excursions manager who emailed the Adventure OTS manager to put a request in for a specific cabana for our May sailing cabana reservation.  I then followed up with emails to the Diamond and Concierge staff to see if they could assist. I received emails back from both saying they would keep an eye out for the final assignments prior to the sailing. 

Coco Cay from the March first time docking of the Anthem. 

Maybe because I book so far out, but I seem to end up with huge OBCs.  My sailing in 20 days on the Anthem, solo in a JS for 8-nt I ended up with a $900 OBC.  I booked this around Thanksgiving 2017.

Here is the full flyer for the NextCruise offers

Also - there is a Public Side of the Travel Professionals website for RCCL that provides Sales, Specials, OBC and deployment schedules for the fleet:  https://loyaltoyoualways.com

Plus there is a lot of information about deck plans and more...  A great site to check back to from time to time.

Happy Cruising!!
