Bob NC Posted October 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Had a Loft 19 Cabana for the Sept 30 sailing of the Mardi Gras and now I never want to sail without a cabana again. Too bad they are only on 3 ships. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd usually get an omelette in the morning and carry it up to the cabana for breakfast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lazydayz Posted October 12, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 12, 2023 We really enjoy the Loft 19 cabanas as well. As to lunch, they have a special menu and will go to Guys or Shaq's for you. There is also a salad bar in the Serenity area that is very close to the cabanas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted October 12, 2023 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Well, I was going to say Thanks for helping keep Loft 19 a bit of a secret. Now, everybody will want one and the price will increase dramatically. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see the price going up much more than it is currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly the cabanas can be hard to get so I can definitely see the price go up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been they were only so popular back when a lot of cruisers had bonus OBC to spend due to the COVID shutdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our NYE on the Celebration this year, only one cabana is left. And I paid full price - $2,000 plus the automatic gratuity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted October 12, 2023 #11 Share Posted October 12, 2023 What the heck ?? !!! I thought I'd just go in and see how many were left for our 10/22 Celebration sailing. I booked our cabana months ago (same one we had in May) for $2,000. Now I see that they're running a "sale", apparently since there are 7 left (out of 12). I wonder if I can get a refund or some OBC !! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - I just called "the fun shops" and was told to do the same. I then pointed out to them that I did the exact same thing for a prior sailing (after already having our preferred cabana) a year or more ago. Thirty seconds later, when I went to rebook at the lower price, the one I had released was not returned to inventory. I kept checking several times over the next hours, and even days - and it never came back up. Thus, I didn't end up having a cabana that sailing, as there's only one we like. So... I'll just let it go - and know that I paid a premium to get our preferred cabana... Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted October 12, 2023 #15 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Oh - wait -- never mind !! It was actually $2065 I paid (which includes tax/gratuity/whatever!). I went in and did a mock booking of another cabana (at $1750) and the total came out to.... $2,065 !!! So... sale, schmale !!! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
