Were you able to get photos of the pool cabanas? (Not the beach cabanas)

[murfette]

No I didn't take any pictures of the pool cabanas. They looked like a tent/canopy one right next to each other.

IMO not worth $199.00

Looked like they kept people up for a good amount of time. We didn't do it. Had a ocean villa and hung out there and walked around.

Can you go on excursions from harvest caye.

[SquishTheWhale]

Did you buy any food and if so how was it? Worth buying vs walking back to the ship for lunch?

[CruisinHarvey]

Were any food offerings complimentary? I haven't seen any documented. If that's the case, it seems to me that this is the only private cruise line island that offers nothing complimentary, other than lounge chairs.

[KarlChilders]

It has been stated all along that food would be ala carte. One thing to keep in mind is that this is not a private island per se, but a private port. This project was not popular with the Belizeans, so to get approved, it required partnerships with locals to provide the food and beverage.

Let's see, they have a pool, and beach. The only benefit is not having to tender at Belize City. There's nothing else there that I couldn't do on any other island. woo hoo!:rolleyes:

How far is it from the private villas to the pool, etc? We ditched the Haven this coming summer but did get a villa. I know the husband and I will love it, is there a way to get to the pool and other activities without walking an hour?

 

Thanks

I'm ecstatic that we can walk off the ship to a nice beach without having to find a taxi or do an excursion. Going back to the ship for lunch isn't that big of a problem for us.

 

My son and his GF were there for the first visit to HC (on the Dawn). They both loved it and said it was their favorite stop of the cruise.

Grand Turk is set up the same way.

The villas where at the end but easily in walking distance to everything. They had a few bottles of water in fridge and a small fruit plate and a small cheese plate. Nothing extravagant. It had a bathroom with shower and the inside was air conditioned. Frankly I don't think it was worth the cost. Just having a few drinks cost $180 plus tip. Some of our party got some food for the kids. Chicken fingers and a couple other things. Not sure what it cost.

 

I think NCL would do much better with the villas and cabanas if they offered some type of food and beverage credit like they do on great stirrup came.

Also port time was horrible. 7 am till 12:30. Did not see many people eating or drinking and if they want to maximize this they need a later time in this island in my opinion.

Were there any lounge chairs in the shade? We burn so easily and really don't like those clam shells!

 

Thanks!

We were on the Getaway for her first stop at HC last week. Just debarked the cruise today. The weather was foul the day of our visit so I just walked around and took a ton of photos. Will post a more detailed review of this port stop when I get back home complete with a map.

A couple of questions. How much time do you get to spend on the cay? Is the UBP

good there?

[trackstarsmom]

Any transporting to the belize port where it used to tender into?

Time varies, accordi g to ship itinerary.

 

UBP is NOT acepted since it is not a private island but has local vendors.

We were at Harvest Caye on Thanksgiving. We did the parasailing, $99 each and were up in the air 7-to 10 minutes. We were scheduled to go up at 3pm and last apprx one hour. We were back on the pier apprx 3:35, not the best I have done.

No, it is really a long way and not at all practical to go there.
