Carnival Half Moon Cay Cabana Roll Call

[PaulMedik]

I have enjoyed conversing back and forth with my fellow roll call participants for several years now and have enjoyed and learned so much from everyone.

 

With the advent of Carnival allowing online bookings of Cabanas in Half Moon Cay, I thought it would be fun to have a roll call for people with reservations or plans to reserve cabanas.

 

If you've been there before, post your pictures of and from your cabana as well as your experiences there.

 

Cabana reserved for April 17, 2011 via Carnival Liberty April 16 sailing.

Ours is reserved for this weekend, can't wait to escape the great white north, just hope we can fly out on Thursday.

We have a Cabana booked for March 7 /2011 . Carnival Destiny. Eastern 5 day intinery . Can't wait.....

 

I am surprised they are not booked. Maybe not everyone knows you can book online ?

 

Happy Cruising

I had # 12 in 2009. Seemed to have shade alittle longer then others. The farther down the beach you are the longer until the masses find their way down to you (and they will)

How far in advance can you reserve the cabanas now? Do they open up when the other excursions open?

[disneynan]

What is the rental fee? How do you specify location when reserving?

[Cruise, J.D.]

I have a cabana reserved at HMC for 07/19/2011, arriving via the Carnival Fantasy! I'm hoping to get a #10-15 cabana.

[Cruise, J.D.]

How far in advance can you reserve the cabanas now? Do they open up when the other excursions open?

It should. It was available when I booked in January for a July cruise.

 

What is the rental fee? How do you specify location when reserving?

$199.99 for 4 persons. You can't specify which one at this time. You have to reserve the specific cabana on the ship.

last Aug I had #11..I found it a bit aways from the "action" towards the other end of the beach. Whats a good cabana # a bit closer but not in the middle of traffic so to speak.

 

Thanks!!

:D

Four (or five) of us have them reserved for the May 14th sailing of the Miracle. Praying for no monsoon this trip.

[Mybearsbaby]

We have one reserved for our cruise this month. I would love to see everyone's cabana pics and opinion on which are best and why. That will help us decide on which to try and get ;)

Cabana #5, July 2010, Carnival Pride:

 

 

We've also had Cabana 11. (No pictures, sorry - I never uploaded them to Webshots.:( Cabana is booked for our 8/13/11 cruise on Fantasy, so I'll be sure to take pictures!

[norcal2]

Here is a slideshow of our cabana. It is the yellow one and we picked it because of the trees on both sides of it as well as being near the bathroom down the beach. I'd post pictures here but have not figured it out yet.

I don't have an upcoming trip planned to HMC...but here's some pix from Feb. 2009.

 

Fingers crossed this works!!

 

Cabana #14 Second to last

Hey NYBumpkin..Ive also had #11 but was thinking of getting something closer to the activities. Did you like 11 or 5 better?

[Shelbyjane56]

It is 199.00 to reserve for 4 people

 

We booked ours as soon as they started letting us do it by reserving a cabana. It will only be the 2 of us...in our so called group lol

 

 

We will sail on the Liberty May 14 for a week, so looking forward to it!

I had # 3 in August 09. Some people say that's too close to everything, but I thought it was great. Had a few kids try to use our shower, but hey, it's not like I was paying for the water. I also have one reserved for the Fantasy in August - I'm on the same ship as NY Bumpkin. I would rather have one of the lower numbers, but I won't be too choosy. Any one of them will be awesome!

We have a cabana reserved for our cruise on the Fascination May 28. I hope to get a cabanna between 8 - 14. It will be me, my husband our 14 year old daughter.

[nybumpkin]

Hey NYBumpkin..Ive also had #11 but was thinking of getting something closer to the activities. Did you like 11 or 5 better?

My only problem with #5 was that we had people coming up to our cabana to use the shower (anyone see that "Private Cabana" sign in my picture?!:rolleyes:) #11 was much more private, but it is more of a hike from any activities. If I had my choice (and I'm hoping I will in August), I'd opt for #7-9.

[simpleman]

I also booked two cabanas for our 3/19/11 Liberty cruise (yes you can book 2).

[mnoremac]

We're booked for Feb 8th, 2011 - looking forward to getting #9 or #10.

 

Sailing out Feb 5th on the Fascination.

I just went onto Carnival's website to book a cabana for our upcoming trip (in 17 days) and it was $199 per person?? So since we have 5 in our family it was $1000? Is this right?

 

Or do you just reserve it under the adults? What do you get for the cost? food/drinks etc???

 

Sorry - I'm new to this!

No. You just reserve it under one person. Total will be $199.

 

Once onboard, do not tell Carnival about your fifth person. They may add an additional charge per person beyond the four covered in the price.

It is 199 for 4 ppl. Not per person. What most people do is not count the other guests. They provide you sodas, water, tortilla chips with dip,whole fruiit, veggie and fruit tray. You also get snorkel gear for 4 and 4 floating mats. The cabana comes with a table and 4 chairs and 2 cushioned loungers and an open shower. Oh and you get priority tender tickets.

Hope this helps!

What ship are you cruising on?

[BABSIER]

I reserved my first cabana ever for the 5-14 Miracle sailing. Hope we have good weather.
