jenp123 Posted September 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I am sailing to the Caribbean in November and booked a cabana. They charged $449 and said it was good for 2 adults and 2 children. I have been reading reviews and it seems pricing has been $299 a week ...I will call guest services Monday to check pricing bit wondered if anyone had booked one lately and how much they paid. (I booked the one on the top deck, not the lido one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthC Posted September 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Did you book the "family" cabana? That would cost more than the smaller cabana would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Did you book the "family" cabana? That would cost more than the smaller cabana would. Agree, sounds like the Family Cabana. The standard cabana is for 2 people only, the family for up to 6, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclerich Posted September 21, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2014 We're paying $449 for the larger Family Retreat Cabana for 7 days on the Eurodam (in the Carib) in December. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I booked the one on the top deck, not the lido one) For 2 adults and 2 children you do not need to book the family size cabana. Just ask for a regular one and you will have enough room. I think they are listed for 2 adults/2children. Retreat-Cabana-2011.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguarstyper Posted September 21, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Is bar service available in the retreat cabanas, or do you have to get your own drinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVgirl Posted September 21, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Is bar service available in the retreat cabanas, or do you have to get your own drinks? The Cabana Stewards will get your drinks from the bar and also get anything you want from the Lido as well. They are more than happy to keep you happy. I'd say you receive the best service on the whole ship when you are in a Cabana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenp123 Posted September 25, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Thanks for the input... finally got a hold of ship services and we are in a family cabana. It was the only one left when we booked and were happy with the price. Just wanted to make sure we were paying the correct amount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz chic Posted September 25, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Thx for the update. The family cabana is very nice. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxThrusters Posted October 2, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I booked a retreat cabana on Nieuw Amsterdam for a 14 day cruise over the holidays. $499US I'm somewhat annoyed I couldn't get it for 12 days for less $, since the first day we can't use it (boarding at lunch time, then drill), and the last day we can't either (disembarkation so early).

On the first day, you should be able to access the cabanas after about 2pm, perhaps sooner, and come back after the drill for sail away. You will get champagne and chocolate covered strawberries that day. Don't be surprised if there are only one cabana steward that day, as there are a few other things going on that day.
