LongHill44 Posted March 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2018 We will only be there 7 hours but they are priced very reasonable. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted March 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2018 We do it all the time. One price for up to four people. Good place to store your stuff then go exploring. Don’t mistake the A/C to actually work very well. :D You’re not going to get goose bumps in there. Be lucky to stop sweating. But we enjoy it. Servers to bring you lunch, snacks, and frosty cold drinks (all that you have to pay for) sail and sign card doesn’t work here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRD Posted March 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2018 You really only need it if there will be more than one ship in port. there is plenty of places around the pool that are shaded and chairs are easy to get. If there are two ships, and yours is the second one. seats will be had to find and it would be worth it to get one. They have a sectional couch and a table in them as well as air conditioning. There will be a person assigned to your cabana that will get food and drinks from the Margaritaville menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kctwinmommy Posted March 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2018 If you look on the Grand Turk page for this board, several people have asked about these. Some people say it's not worth it, but we loved having it last year when we went. We had 2 families (7 people), and they never really said anything. Probably because the 2 husbands and 2 sons were often down in the ocean snorkeling. We only were all up there when we ate. But for us, we loved having a place to just hang and not have to worry about our stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were there on Magic, and I can't get my sister moving before noon. By the time we were ashore, there was nothing but a patch of grass. I loved the pool. That was my motivation - of all the times I have been there, I never went into the pool. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted March 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 24, 2018 did it once. Was nice but not sure if we would do it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDeeJay Posted March 24, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 24, 2018 We really enjoyed it! Actually had six people, and it was perfectly adequate. Ordered and shared turkey sandwich (massive) and nachos (huge), drink and food service was prompt and accommodating. Will do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHnDWplus2 Posted March 24, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Mike, I can't be positive on price but you book it thru Shore excursions and they sell out quick! Sent from my SM-G930P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumicmah Posted March 24, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 24, 2018 can you reserve one but then cancel if you change your mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted March 24, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 24, 2018 can you reserve one but then cancel if you change your mind? It's considered a shore excursion so the cancellation policy would be like any other shore excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kctwinmommy Posted March 24, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 24, 2018 and nachos (huge) Agreed! We had some snacks of our own and the 7 of us shared the nachos and some calamari! And I think like 3 of us didn't even touch the calamari. Those nachos were huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired_to_Cruise Posted March 24, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 24, 2018 We did it there for the first time in Jan. 2018. Liked it so much we have already rent one on each of our next 4 cruises there. Also love to get a Poolside cabana at Amber Cove, at Half Moon Cay, and also at Mahogany Bay. Also book one of the cabanas at Isla Pasion (Cozumel) when we get the chance.

Ninn4 Posted March 24, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Yes, we did it last year. It was wonderful, we loved every second of it. Especially good when it gets too hot.

We reserved far in advance, was the first to arrive and choose, so we went for Cabana #1 which to use was perfect and had a shower next to it. They had the air already on and we had to turn it way down and we like it cold. Perhaps some work better then others. You must order the nachos!

hard_eight Posted March 26, 2018 #19 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Yes, you can cancel it. We did last week. Opted to rent a Jeep and explore instead since we had done the cabana the previous year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-train Posted March 26, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 26, 2018 We didn't have one last time at GT, and wished we had. We have one for our June trip this year though! Looking forward to our own little piece of real estate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I booked it for our Oct cruise. Will see if we want to keep it. We have friends going on same cruise and they have 4 kids with them so will be 8 of us, which may be too many.

TVLady3 Posted April 29, 2018 #22 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I booked the last one available for our August 20th Horizon cruise months ago, they sell out fast! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinisthebest Posted April 29, 2018 #23 Share Posted April 29, 2018 We always get one as soon as they show up on the excursions page. It's hot in GT, so getting out of that sun is great. It's nice to be able to enjoy the port area then come back and relax and people watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipperberg Posted June 16, 2018 #24 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Do you book through Carnival excursion page? It is not showing up yet for April 2019, too soon? How much was it? Tia! Can’t wait to book it! Booked a villa at HMC, so thought I would stick with the theme of the trip...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait to book it! Booked a villa at HMC, so thought I would stick with the theme of the trip...lol Yes, you book through them. It may not be on there yet, but keep watching for it to show up. There's only 10 of them, so they can sell out quickly. And if you look at the excursions as a guest (so not signed in) it shows the price. They're $192/each. So they've gone up I think about $40 since we booked about 18 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
