AliceIn Posted February 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Do you do these online before the cruise, or is this something you need to book while you are aboard? It's our first NCL cruise, and we'll be in a Haven 2-bedroom suite on the Escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starflyr3 Posted February 11, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2017 you MIGHT be able to book one when you get onboard, depending on the ship, but the best way would be to book it in advance on NCL.com under "excursions". It's called a Luxury Beach Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to call shore excursions to check. Our cruise is in two weeks and we booked our beach cabana back in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starflyr3 Posted February 12, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Copied from NCL.com under excursions (I click on the Harvest Caye day to narrow it down): "Luxury Beach Villa Harvest Caye, Belize Spend a sultry day inside the comfort of one of our incredible self-contained retreats that comfortably house up to six guests. ADULT FROM $475.00 CHILD FROM $475.00" for our Dawn cruise in March, there are 16 available shore excursions on the Harvest Caye day, and the villa one is #7, the pool cabana is #8 from the top. If it's not showing up for you yet, they may be sold out already (when is your cruise?) or not yet on the page. Escape is a big ship - more people to snap up the villas/cabanas. You can either call the shorex desk or call/email the pre-cruise concierge (since you're in the Haven) to check. NorwegianConciergeDesk@ncl.com.

Dining, etc., isn't available yet either. I sent an e-mail to the Concierge desk asking about the Cabanas. We really like having that for the beach or pool, as we are a very fair skinned bunch. It's nice having a place to take a break from the sun yet still be able to enjoy the water. It's always so hard to find spots with umbrellas.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums That's fantastic that you can get away for that price!!! You are very lucky. Getting the cabana would replace an excursion for that day - for 6 people, that's not a bad price. I think it probably makes a lot more sense for larger parties, as the price of the Cabana per person is lower that way. My family is so big that we cannot fit in most rooms on the ship - we need the 2 bedroom family suite to accommodate us. If we tried for multiple rooms, my husband and I would end up having to split up to be with kids - not my idea of a great vacation! I wish we had less expensive options so we could cruise more often! Maybe when they are all out of the nest we can look at the more bargain cabins so hubby and I can cruise more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmilak Posted February 12, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I called the Shorex number and just booked over the phone. I didn't have to prepay this way either so i can just use my big OBC to pay for it so it is basically free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that the cabana on Harvest Cay is $499 for both my February and July cruises. For end of this month, its just my mom and I in cabana. It was our family Christmas gift to her but Im the only one sailing with her so win-win for me lol. For July, Im doing a cabana share with another couple so its four of us for $250 each couple. Oh I wish my sailings were that price lol Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyguy31 Posted February 13, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 13, 2017 You will love the beach cabana just got back from there. They are a great way to spend time at the beach. They have air conditioning and it was very hot and humid last week. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceIn Posted May 3, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I managed to get a pool cabana today. We are 95 days out, I figure people cancelled their cruise just before the 90 day mark. I have been checking for availability for a while, persistence pays off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pool cabana available at all until last night. When I called, NCL said they were all sold out. You and I were lucky we kept checking!!! Congrats on getting the Cabana. Maybe we will be neighbors!

wyknotcruz2da Posted July 1, 2017 #19 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I just booked 2 beach cabanas for Jan 2018 and the price was 680 each !..I'm debating about cancelling as I'm not sure I can justify a two hundred dollar price increase..I know they are popular but this seems excessive.

DCP Posted July 4, 2017 #21 Share Posted July 4, 2017 You are allowed up to 6 guests, if you divide that cost between 6, it is $113. per person for the day. Not bad at all for what you are getting - private beach, butler, private restroom, a/c, etc. We have 2 booked for our cruise for our group of 11, and can't wait!

foxjim1 Posted July 4, 2017 #22 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I tried to book one for February but price came up for both my wife and myself so its per person and you can't divide it by six as far as i can see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxjim1 Posted July 4, 2017 #23 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Oops! Guess I should read full details b4 posting as price is per Cabana! Still extremely overpriced for what you get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
