Amber Cove Cabanas now available for rent on website

[imluvncruzn]

Just a heads up...Amber Cove hillside and over-the-water cabanas are now listed on the website for rent! $325 for hillside and $350 for over-the-water cabanas.

[ATL_Miami_Cruiser]

Been waiting for this. Thanks!

 

I just don't like the price. $350 can go a long way with drinks and other fun activities such as riding an ATV or a Jet Ski with several people. I can relax in my cabin if I wanted to sit down with AC and a TV. Just my opinion.

 

EXCURSION DETAILS (from Carnival site)

 

"Get away from the crowds, relax and enjoy the unspoiled beauty of Maimon Bay’s western shore and the distant mountains beyond from the comfort of your own private Tahitian-style overwater cabana.

Your cabana will be outfitted with air conditioning, wifi, cable tv, table and chairs inside, as well as deck chairs, outdoor shower and private dock.

 

A dedicated server will always be close at hand to take food and drink orders. **Price listed is per cabana, (not per person) and good for up to 4 persons, therefore only one person needs to book. For groups with more than 4 guests, an 'extra person surcharge' for the Cabana rental must be purchased for guests 5 & 6 (a maximum of 6 guests per cabana).

 

Housekeeping will begin cleaning 1 hour before departure. *Please note, this excursion’s duration is “At Your Leisure” which means it’s yours until one hour prior to your ship’s departure (not necessarily 6 hours as listed above)."

I agree. GT cabanas are $129 and HMC cabanas are $229 so these prices for Amber Cove cabanas are very steep!

Is it in excursions for amber cove?

And in HMC you get floats, snorkle gear, beverages and food included at that price. Glad for the info, but that is too pricey for us.

Does anybody know if you can swim from the over water cabanas?

Wondering this myself, but I think probably not. In pictures I don't see any ladders or access to the water directly from the cabanas. We really want one but I was hoping there would be more info and reviews on them before they opened for our August 6th cruise. We ended up grabbing one water and one hillside and will cancel one when we know more. Water looks beautiful, but if you look at aerial pictures of Amber Cove, they look very isolated. Not sure I see the benefit if we're not able to access the water from them.

Wow! Can see I won't be renting one.

Does anyone know why they are so expensive in comparison to other cabanas they rent? Is there something extra?

I see people renting them. It's no more expensive than a resort hotel for a night. In this case it's for a day, but people won't care. They'll sell out easily.

 

Not even a full day, only 6 hours minus 1 hour for cleaning :eek: I agree people will buy them regardless of price, especially after a few drinks on the ship and a trip to the excursion desk lol

...your own private Tahitian-style overwater cabana...

 

 

Seems like the pricing is also Tahitian-style. Yes, $350 may seem steep for a few hours, but it's at par with this type of accommodation. I have friends who just returned from a trip to Tahiti where they stayed in an overwater bungalow at $1,000 a night, and that was with ZERO extra amenities! Beers were $12 apiece. [emoji85]

From another thread. Says food will be included. Waiting to hear details from people who have actually booked them. So far only one ship has docked at Amber Cove and the cabanas weren't ready yet.

Keep reading:

All yours, from ship's arrival to departure, and since you have to be back onboard 1 hour prior to ship's departure, the cleaning won't affect you anyway.

So that's 12 cabanas ranging from $300-$350.

 

We've already reserved ours. Can always cancel but I doubt it. We like the idea of having one. Time frame is fine. I would be heading back at least an hour before the ship leaves anyway. And I was told that they will include the same food and drink items as the cabanas on HMC.

Has anyone on here actually rented one of the cabanas? I've read the posts and have also read the description on the Carnival website but was hoping for some information from someone who has rented.

I would like to know also....pictures, experience etc. I will be there in a few weeks and can't decide what to do :confused: Our cruise switched HMC for Amber Cove :( Had a cabana booked for HMC
