Recent Cabana Experiences on E-Class Ships?

[MNSails]

Looking for any 2024 experiences in the cabanas on Edge class ships - specifically what was included (drinks/food) with the rental and if the service was decent.  The information online seems to be from 2023 or earlier, so I'm curious if they've cut back (limited soda, no alcohol, etc.)  Bonus points for any Apex specific reports!

 

Cheers!

Currently on the Edge.  Cabanas face a heavily used walkway.  While they face the ocean which is across the walkway,  the area in front and across from them ( on the Edge, sister to Apex’) has some large cushioned chairs available to anyone.  So they obstruct the view.

We are on sea day number 4 or 6 and saw no one in them the past 2 days and only 2 occupied today.  
we cancelled our reservation.

Did you get a list of what would have been included with the cabana?  I know the location isn't great on Apex/Edge, but I'm more curious if they are still including drinks and lunch.

I did not.  I got mixed answers, some said no liquor others said bottle of vodka, others bottle of champagne.  We cancelled and then ordered a bar-set up during a flash sale which ended up less expensive and we knew what we were getting.

We have a pool cabana booked on the Ascent for December and this is what is listed as included...

I did a 2 person cabana on Beyond in March 2024, had a decent time, received a bottle of vodka, cabana lunch menu, fruit skewers, water and beers.

I currently have 3 E-class cruises booked for 2025-2026.  All three are currently only offering the 4 person cabana at full price ($500)   Just curious what others are seeing in their cruise planners for the cabanas.   Thanks 🥂

On APEX TA, March 2025, 2 person is $141.99/pp and they don't show anything for 4 person.

My apologies, on the first page it says $141.99/PP but when I open it to reserve, in the description it specifically in ALL CAPS says:

 

PRICING IS PER CABANA, NOT PER PERSON. ONE PERSON IN THE PARTY SHOULD RESERVE THE CABANA. THE CABANA ACCOMMODATES A MAXIMUM OF 2 GUESTS.

Yes, the cabana's are one fixed price, if a 2 person is $141.99 / cabana that is good deal.

I think maybe the word is out on the cabana's.  For my March 2025 sailing the 4 person is only available on one of the 4 sea days we have, at full price. 😳

I think they just dropped a big "flash" sale.  Was looking at my CP and almost everything is between 20-30% discount.  I repriced my WiFi, non-alcohol drinks and an excursion and I saved a good chunk of $$.  This is the first time I have ever purchased cruise only and so far I am quite pleased.
