TheDougOut Posted October 21, 2016 #501 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Maybe your question isn't being answered because no one knows the answer. Only a select few are allowed the preview this week. I agree. Hopefully a lot of answers are coming soon. I believe a cruise critic rep said they're there for the preview, and will be authoring a complete write up soon.

KarimaJ Posted October 21, 2016 #502 Share Posted October 21, 2016 As previously asked (but not yet answered), is getting a chair at the beach or by the pool cost $$? Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I would "think" not since the only pay for items on the website are pool and beach cabanas. I assume regular chairs are free like any other private island.

Rare CoffeeGoddess Posted October 21, 2016 #503 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Cruise Critic is posting pics on their Facebook page and state the beach chairs are free. I'm guessing, though, that the ones in the cover probably would have a cost. https://www.facebook.com/47806071766/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10153899015421767 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I'm pretty sure they don't want you mentioning the specific cruise ship/date pages that some people put up that are very much like the roll calls here.

SquishTheWhale Posted October 22, 2016 #510 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Thank you for the pictures and the facebook link! It looks amazing and I can't wait to see it next year. It's a shame that it seems to be confirmed there is no free buffet and no ubp. But we suspected this all along. I can't help agreeing with some of the facebook posts that the design of the gate is a little unfortunate :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted October 22, 2016 #511 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I can't help agreeing with some of the facebook posts that the design of the gate is a little unfortunate :eek: Agreed. I guess it is needed to "open and close" the island (or at least the pier) for some way of crowd control? I really love the comments on the length of the pier. "a LONG walk", "Hopefully there's transport available". If you are fit and able to walk but a ship's length pier walk scares you you might consider cruising on smaller ships.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably- but couldn't they have come up with a different design thats a little less... how shall I put this... concentration camp-y? Yikes. I guess whoever was in charge of gate design skipped their European history lessons at school. Are people really complaining over the length of the pier?

FreestyleNovice Posted October 22, 2016 #515 Share Posted October 22, 2016 The gate may be an unfortunate photo; "two tiny cannons flank the island's entrance gate in memory of the Battle of St. George's Caye .. " Who else read this btw: "Although nothing official is in place just yet, Norwegian also plans to allow other cruise lines to use the port once it's up and running." From the article on CC (not the FB one), also featured as a sticky thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Squirrel Posted October 22, 2016 #516 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Loving all the pictures. Hoping to make it to Harvest Caye on our Thanksgiving Getaway cruise, but also booked knowing there could be a delay and that stop reverting back to Belize City or a sea day. Keeping my fingers crossed! The cabanas are lovely, especially for those traveling in multi-generational groups with family members who can't take the heat, but the price seems really high to me. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not justifying it, it still is a lot of money for a day or even shorter.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not justifying it, it still is a lot of money for a day or even shorter.. :) That may be. I only booked a cabana on GSC once off the Pearl, and I split the cost with another cabin. It was nice to experience how the other half lives. . .if even for a day! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted October 27, 2016 #520 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I suspect the cabanas have gone up in price. Pool cabanas: were $199? Now $249. Beach cabanas: were $475? Now $499. In case they fluctuate by sailing, these are for the 11/27 Dawn sailing. If the prices I recall are accurate, maybe they're booking well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beach cabanas are the same price ($475), but the pool cabanas have gone up to $249 (they were $199). I know at least three beach cabanas have been booked for our sailing according to people on our roll call. I'll be curious to see what happens with the pricing.

So either the pricing varies by sailing, or pricing hasn't been updated yet for all sailings. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js Posted October 28, 2016 #525 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) I sail February 26 and I paid $475. Ive paid more for DCL and RCCL cabanas and NCL looks a lot nicer. Cant wait!
