Although we did not have to deal with rampant children, meal and drink service took forever once the attendant showed up. Further, the cabana is on a different floor than the lido, which makes visits more difficult. although I know that this is somewhat controversial, we actually enjoyed the lido cabanas on the smaller ships a lot more - far better and quicker service, and quicker access to the lido, bar, and pool. Honestly, we also enjoyed the folks walking alongside. We struck up conversations with many. I don’t know that it’s controversial. You like what you like. I wouldn’t take a lido cabana for free because there are too many people around and I want to be outside. I don’t usually find the cabana service to be that great. I never ask them to get me food. I just want my water iced but it rarely is because they are running for food for everyone there, sometimes multiple times a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any other pros and cons of these cabins? I've always wondered what they would be like. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. For me, looking out the window/door and having a view of a deck, railing & people passing by as opposed to having an unobstructed view of the ocean is a HUGE negative. I'd book an ocean view or a verandah, but not a lanai. Some people love them - just not me. Sue/WDW1972 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. The desk is inadequate, at best. Nothing like the size of the desk in the other inside or outside cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
