Rare BirdTravels Posted July 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 17, 2023 How nice. A beach for the employees who live on the island (200+ of them). No,,, I guess that they would not spend money on the employees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATG Posted July 17, 2023 #13 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I’ve heard a rumor that the Beach Club will become the suite beach. I can’t imagine RC giving up the income. It’s over $200 per person for most of my future cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people are crazy enough to pay $200-$300 for the Beach Club, there's no reason at all to change that model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soremekun Posted July 17, 2023 #17 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I wonder if the employees drag race the trams after the ships leave. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya! Don't remember which one of our cruises I was looking at, but for the Beach Cabana they were asking $3699 and OTW $4199 (?). They have lost their ever-loving, collective minds. Even if you had 8 people for the Beach Cabana, that is still over $450 per person. That's the cost of a helicopter tour with a glacier walk in Alaska. Yes, you have to be on an Alaskan cruise, but you get the point. I am willing to pay a little for luxury, but I don't think you are even getting kissed when they bend you over with those rates.... 😲 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare notscb Posted July 18, 2023 #21 Share Posted July 18, 2023 They're really being strategic about this- they absolutely needed the adults only area on the island, plus now that Celebrity will be docking there (+$$ to RCL Group), the added space is also needed. 10/10 on RCL groups' part on this one.

Anyone can go to barefoot beach, you just need to book a cabana. They are also selling those $4,000 cabanas at the Beach Club, so there really is little difference between the two business models.

The staff that live there have access to multiple gyms, use of the lagoon and water sports items, and the beaches. they have bon fires and dance parties at night. As far as a job with the cruise line goes, seems like this is a pretty sweet one to have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
