All-Inclusive, or ala carte' Beach Club?

[ohiowilly]

Our family of five will be visiting Coz from the Carnival Liberty on June 9. It appears that we might be the "only ship in town" on that date. I'm having trouble deciding between an all-inclusive Beach Club, such as Nachi or Uvas, or Playa Mia, or whether to go with an "ala carte" Beach Club, most likely Paradise Beach, or possibly Chankanaab. We only have one family member who would take advantage of the open-bar aspect of the all-inclusive clubs, so I'm not sure if we'd be wasting money going to one of them. Any ideas, or anyone that's gone under similar circumstances?

 

Thanks

Sounds like the AI would be a waste of money in your case.

How do you find out how many ships will be in port that day. We're not cruising until November 10th from New Orleans.

It sounds like ala carte is your best option. For what you'd pay for AI and not really use, the one family member could buy a lot of drinks.

 

If the AI includes buffet food, that would be a turn-off for me. We went to Paradise Beach last week and had a great afternoon. The food we ordered was really good and we could just pay for what we wanted. The kids got the armbands for the toys, and the adults relaxed and had great food and a few drinks.

 

Have fun!

How did you get a hold of them to book it? Their website does not seem to be working today.

Good to know Nachi cocum is made to order food. I'm pretty sure I've read that Playa Mia is a buffet.
