Poolside Retreat for 2?

[z_cruisers]

We'll be headed to GT soon and I just noticed a new excursion offered, "Poolside Retreat for 2". Seems different from the poolside cabanas as they are offered as well and accommodate 4 people. Anyone ever experience the 2 person cabana? Thank you!

DETAILS

Your own cabana: Enjoy some poolside relaxation in a semi-private Cabana. Spend the day enjoying the Grand Turk Cruise Centre from the comfort of your own semi-private Cabana. Upon arrival at the cruise terminal you’ll take the short walk from the ship to the Margaritaville Restaurant to check-in. You’ll be escorted to your Cabana, which is yours to use for the duration of your ship’s call. Each Cabana is shaded and includes 2 lounge chairs overlooking the pool. Waiter service will also be provided by the Margaritaville Restaurant and Bar, should you wish to purchase any snacks, lunch or drinks.

May I ask what ship you are on and when you are sailing that you can see the Poolside Cabanas available.  For some reason we do not have this option on our cruise, only the Semi Private Cabana and I am trying to figure out why they aren't offered?  They are showing sold out - they are simply just not offered.

We are on Mardi Gras Oct 8 this year

They are showing on excursion page for Carnival Legend stops on October 30, 2022 and January 8, 2023.  They were sold out on day they were listed.  Who knows what system is used to make them available on any particular cruise?  Maybe reserved by another ship (Carnival Freedom) also scheduled on your date had them only available for their passengers?

 

The Mardi Gras is also scheduled on our stopover dates.  Only a few cabanas for so many thousands of passengers, they may be alternating availability.  Mardi Gras is also scheduled at same time as the Legend's stop in January 19, 2023.

Check out Jamman54's review.  Page 13or 14 I think.  They did this and have lots of pictures.
