Shelbyjane56 Posted February 3, 2011 #76 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have a cabana booked for the May 14th sailing of the Carnival Liberty. I've always wanted to try one and now I am! Hi Linda looks like we are on the same sailing on the Liberty May 14!! Looking forward to the cabana! Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDP3181 Posted February 3, 2011 #77 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Someone said recently when they went to choose the cabana they wanted it had already been decided which cabana they had before they got there. I do not like this at all. I do not want anything to do with the hassles that the first few cabanas bring. Hopefully others that have reserved online will report back their experiences. If it is true that Carnival assigns cabanas in advance, I might cancel my reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breezycruiser Posted February 4, 2011 #83 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I don't have a cabana or even a cruise booked :( but I enjoy looking at your pictures. I got the link for this map from the HAL website. I hope it helps.:) http://www.hollandamerica.com/assets/cruise-destinations/HMC_map_1.24.11.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDP3181 Posted February 4, 2011 #84 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Looks like according to the thread I linked below, cabanas are being assigned by the island, not assigned by guests on a first come/first serve basis. :mad: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=27799638&posted=1#post27799638 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMedik Posted February 4, 2011 Author #85 Share Posted February 4, 2011 does anyone have a map of these cabanas? I made a wide screen picture of the cabanas with numbers indicating approximate colors of each. Some are hard to see. I also labeled the water sports area, SHIP bar, children's play area, and the Oasis so everyone would have some prespective of where everything is in relation to where they plan to be. Keep in mind that the tender channel is to the far right just off the edge of the photo and the dock itself is back behind the children's play area / cabana. The picnic area is out behind the water sports area. If this doesn't display well I will upload it elsewhere to get a decent display. You should be able to click on the photo and make it larger especially if you have a Webshots account. After you click on it, CLICK HERE to make it full size or click Full Size in the upper right hand area of Webshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMedik Posted February 4, 2011 Author #88 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Each cabana is located along the edge of the beach directly beneath the black numbers. Fotki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kel040 Posted February 5, 2011 #91 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I have been reading alot of posts about HMC trying to decide if I will reserve a Cabana - came across this picture of ALL the different ones at HMC.. (just click link to make it larger). http://farm1.static.flickr.com/108/296583013_6fa96f5e51_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kel040 Posted February 5, 2011 #92 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Captain Morgan's Pirate Ship Bar at HMC, between the cabanas (found pictures in a HAL board post, where CC members were concerned about the location of this bar, among the cabanas !!)

PaulMedik Posted February 5, 2011 Author #93 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Captain Morgan's Pirate Ship Bar at HMC, between the cabanas (found pictures in a HAL board post, where CC members were concerned about the location of this bar, among the cabanas !!) I just showed my sons these pictures. They all said 'why?' 'That's gonna be packed.' 'Why didn't they build it back in the woods somewhere so it wouldn't interfere?' My sons are 16, 13, and 10. I wonder how old the folks were that decided where the bar should be? If children can look at something and conclude on their own that it is out of place, why can't adults? :confused: That bar is soreley needed in Mahogany Beach Roatan perhaps, but not HMC.

reno3 Posted February 6, 2011 #95 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Cabana photo. I just don't understand how some people think it is okay to walk up the stairs and us the shower. etc. To me it is like walking into someone's house. It is not like the shower is on the outside of the cabana:cool: I see a few good spots to hang my sign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin'Away Posted February 6, 2011 #96 Share Posted February 6, 2011 My husband and I will be on the Liberty sailing 3/19/2011. The cabanas rented out very quickly. Is there anyone out there who has room for two? We would be willing to split the cost. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainbreeze Posted February 6, 2011 #97 Share Posted February 6, 2011 We have our cabana rented for our honeymoon - May 2 sailing on the Destiny. We rented online, and now hoping we will end up with one on the quiet end of the beach. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anung Un Rama Posted February 16, 2011 #98 Share Posted February 16, 2011 After reading this thread I'm wondering if I should book my Cabana for our trip on the Pride late September. We were waiting because we read that they are assigned based on when they are booked so the earlier you book, the lower the cabin number and we wanted something higher to be away from the dock and the bar. Can anyone please confirm how they are assigning cabanas because I've heard conflicting stories this past week? Some say you request the cabana once you get on board via the excursion desk.

mycomputer Posted February 16, 2011 #99 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hmc cabanas...roll call....fyi FYI There was a thead a while back (late January) that talked about being able to book "on-line" the cabanas. Several would post they they had and some would post pics that had been there before. Just alot of interesting HMC/Beach/Cabana talk, info and tips. Well today I was just on the Carnival site looking at excursions for my sailing March 5th-Liberty and....ALL the cabanas for HMC for 05/06/11 are SOLD OUT!! Glad we got one when we did. :D Just a heads up if your going to HMC on whatever sail date and you'd like to book a cabana, you'd best better do it on-line. Dont wait till your on the ship cause you will probably miss out. __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
