Lido Cabanas

[Yodalicious]

I don’t see any Lido Cabanas on the Eurodam or Nieuw Amsterdam deck plan. Are they still available or is it only Retreat Cabanas?

Lido cabanas are on Nieuw Amsterdam. I’m currently on board and saw them!

We loved our Lido cabana during our July 2022 Alaska cruise n the NA. Spending free time with those big windows netted us some great whale sightings.

Here is one of the Nieuw Amsterdam Lido cabanas:

I see them on the Eurodam deck plans, port side Lido deck.  EM

They appear on some deck plans and not on others.

Are they on the Koningsdam? How do you rent them?

No. Lido cabanas are only on Eurodam and N. Amsterdam. 

 

They rented by calling Ships Services. Sorry, don't have the phone number with me.

The attached brochure may be helpful.  Not sure about the prices still in effect.

The prices are still correct for the retreat cabanas so I'll go out on a limb and say they are probably correct for the lido ones.

These Lido Cabanas can be very nice in cool weather as long as the pool roof is open.  In hot weather, or when the pool roof is closed, these cabanas can get quite stuffy due to limited air circulation and humidity from the pool.

Very true.  I wouldn’t take one if you gave it to me.

Same here.  However, I love the Retreat and always book a cabana there.  That gives me the option of sunshine or shade, while the Lido cabanas give the option of stifling humidity or just humidity....oh, and people walking past your cabana gawking at you.  The pool is not important to me, which obviously is a factor in my likes/dislikes.

Yup, mirror image for me of what you said.  I spend too much time indoors either working or because it’s stupid cold a good portion of the year.  I love spending time outside either in the cabana or enjoying the sunshine.

Thank you all for your responses!  It has been a few years since our last cruise and did not see them on the website.  They were one of the best things on the ship!

I don’t see them on the deck plans either so it’s odd.

We love the Lido Cabanas and would select a HAL ship with them (and BB Kings) as major factors in cruise decision. FYI I was just quoted a Lido at 373 for a 11 night cruise from HAL. We have been a bit shell shocked at some of the recent cruise pricing- 11 nights (early 24 Carribean) with balcony at approx. 5800 has us thinking hard and looking at all inclusives which have offered more value to us the past few years. We will probably keep an eye on fares to see if they moderate (pricing was similar for 10 night and for different ships).

The cabanas sound wonderful for a Caribbean sailing. I read how some folks preferred an inside room + cabana over a balcony.

 

I'm planning a multi-generational trip for Alaska/late July/Koningsdam.  Are the Koningsdam cabanas (sounds like no Lido cabins) worthwhile for this sailing? Are they too rainy/windy/cold to be enjoyable?

 

[friendswithdave]

dlca1, we were on this sailing and ship this year. The Retreat Cabanas were completely unused and vacant. Yes, it is a little too cool to be enjoyable on the Koningsdam in Alaska.

Yup I'm finding nothing but high prices.  Someone has to pay for the cruises they are giving away for free.  I'm thinking the same thing as you regarding holidays or at least another cruise line.

I love a cabana but I feel its a warm weather thing.  I wouldn't take one for free in Alaska.
