CocoCay cabana moved from South Beach to Chill Island?

[Tricia28]

Just got a letter from Royal informing me that the cabana/bungalow I booked last month is being moved along with all the others and daybeds to Chill Island from South Beach. Has anyone been recently? Just wondering if this will make it very crowded and wondering how many rows of cabanas will be in one area. Any info would be appreciated.

We were there on Saturday. Took the tram around he island just to see everything. There were still beach beds on a part of the South Beach area, along with lounge chairs. Lots of people were there, walking out to the Floating Bar. Water appeared to be very shallow for a long way out. I do not know if this is more crowded than previous weeks.

We leave August 11th. I called Crown and Anchor but they had no information about cabana changes. They couldn't even tell me when the formal nights are on my cruise so I'm not surprised. I find them less and less helpful of late. These boards are way more helpful!

There is so much room out there, it will still not be crowded.

In their defense, things are literally changing from one day to the next. No one knows what is going on, the picture the excursion desk showed us at the beginning of the cruise had 14 cabanas at the end. When we got there, I counted 20. They built a half dozen new ones in less than a week. The bungalows could be over at south beach today and rebuilt over at chill island tomorrow. 🙂

I am loyal to royal but truly even basic questions are difficult for Crown and Anchor to answer at all. It's much worse since they outsourced call center jobs to Jamaica and Guatemala.
