Wow, that's quite a jump. Sounds like Royal has applied sale pricing to the cabanas now. The cabanas used to be $175 to $250, depending on location.

Barefoot Beach cabanas have never been in the Cruise Planner. Barefoot reservations are handled by the Concieirge.

mark22mac Posted July 1, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted July 1, 2015 It has always shown in cruise planner as an AD I guess you can say but you couldn't book it. It says check on board. Now it's totally gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted July 1, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) $295 for over the water $225 for beach access. Barefoot Beach standard cabana (S4) was $175 last week. Thank you Bertie. :D I thought Nellies were higher Edited July 1, 2015 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCruisinNana Posted July 2, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Two weeks ago the Standard cabanas were $175 (no sales tax). The Hilltop were $225. I think the Over the Water was $250, but that wasn't one of the choices offered to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b7440 Posted July 2, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Had an over the water one last week, was $250.00. First time having one, not so sure I would do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can't secure a Barefoot cabana I probably won't get Laura off the boat.

mark22mac Posted July 2, 2015 Author #14 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yes I put it in my basket and got all the way to checkout just to see. We have a suite so I'm waiting for barefoot beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahleebones Posted July 3, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I've been monitoring my cruise (Dec 2015) and they popped up a week ago with the book on board thing...then yesterday, they disappeared completely from my cruise planner. Hoping they are changing the policy and going to pop back up bookable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahleebones Posted July 3, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 3, 2015 They would say inquire on board if they were sold out. Since late last year you haven't been able to book them online period. You had to book them onboard. Basically RCI posted it like an AD as inquire on board. No online at all. So, a few weeks ago, it popped up as expected as inquire on board. Now it's completely off my cruise planner. Like they've removed it. I'm hoping that they are changing the system and letting us book ahead of time again. If someone was able to put one in a cart the other day, then it just may be changing. Here's to hoping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahleebones Posted July 4, 2015 #21 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Very interesting.... Well I'll keep checking mine daily. Still no sign of it though. So you saw it go back up basically 3 months prior to your sailing...correct? I don't sail until December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahleebones Posted July 4, 2015 #23 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Yes I checked everyday and On July 1 it showed up my cruise is sept 27. Thanks Mark! I'll just keep checking then! Very odd that it was online as "inquire on board" and then gone. Maybe they are realizing it is better to have it booked ahead of time and have decided to go back the the old way of doing it. Maybe too many people flooding the excursion desk with requests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
