DublinFC 320 Posted September 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 The perks that come with the cabana are awesome, but $1k is a hefty price tag to accept when thinking of the cruise fare, flights, drinks, other excursions etc. I am thinking of our situation. I know others will not have the exact same expense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No alcohol unless you purchased the beverage pkg. I hate to sound negative but glad others like the idea. Here's why i see it that way..what you pay for a cabana, i can fly to our resort in Mexico and get just about the same thing. marti314 and ChrisK2793 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like the personal space, being able to have food and drinks ordered and delivered it a great convivence too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
basil 99 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 SOTS on 4/11/20 sailing is still $999. Super excited at the thought it might go down in price that much. Guess I gotta keep checking. DublinFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BunnyHutt 101 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Editing again - I think $499 is a heck of a deal for a Thrill Waterpark cabana. Depending on size of group and price of day passes, you could make money on the deal and have the added perks. Sadly, those cabanas are still $999 for my dec 2020 Anthem and all others are $1299.

Hence that why RC developed this product, They know it was great for some, but not others. It's nice to have options. Added comments- I do see that as a great idea if you have kids or a group. But just for the wife and i...i do not see it as a great deal. DublinFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have found a few that I can use, but cannot leave it on all day. Plus I LOVE the sun, so any bit of guaranteed shade is a help for me. Otherwise, at the normal price I would have to think about it, but a huge discount, I am in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pima1988 1,034 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 My brother and I had the discussion about if it was worth it or not when I went on our sailing with my husband. We got Chill for 399, and my brother balked about the cost. I turned to him and said because we are going in a group, it was costing 80pp for 8 hrs. He than changed his mind, saying if you look at that from an excursion cost, it actually is quite cheap. If it was only my husband and I. we probably wouldn't do the cabana, just the bed instead or most likely the bungalow. I can't justify the size of the cabana for just the 2 of us, hence the beach bed. Yet, like anything you upgrade on a cruise it is harder to go back to the lower tier knowing how much you enjoyed it. Kind of like doing a B2B with the 1st week a balcony, and the 2nd week an interior. If it was the opposite way you would be happy bc you have yet to experience the balcony, but once you do, all you may find yourself saying, just last week we were drinking coffee on our balcony.

YOLO 463 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Can someone tell me if that includes 1 full day thrill waterpark pass or 6 full day thrill waterpark passes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WannaCruise 850 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Aside from the addition of the waterpark tickets, what's the difference between the Thrill Waterpark Cabana, the Oasis Lagoon Cabana and Chill Island Cabanas. For our Anthem, the first Thril Waterpark one is $663 CAD and the other two are $1328 CAD. South Beach is "cheaper" at $1000 CAD. You would think the Thrill Cabana would be the pricier one as it comes with waterpark tickets. Am I missing something? P.S. - Interesting what they've done with my 2 stop Mariner cruise....The Thrill Waterpark Cabana is $397 on first CoCo Cay day - OR you can get waterpark tickets for $105 each...BUT it includes both CoCo Cay days. So if you want the cabana for a family of 4, it's cheaper than the waterpark tickets if just looking at the one day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOLO 463 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 @WannaCruise From my post above, how many Thrill Waterpark tickets are included with the cabana? Thrill Cabanas are for 6 people while all other cabanas are for 8 people, is that correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YOLO 463 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 @WannaCruise. Did you see anywhere how many Thrill Waterpark tickets are included with the cabana purchase? It says below "a" Full Day Pass which leads me to believe you get only one ticket. Bummer... RWDW1204 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But more importantly, it comes with 8 towels and water bottles (so 2 extra as this cabana hold 6)...lol. You're right....very sneaky...it's not clear at all if you get 1 waterpark tickets or more. Think you're probably right. YOLO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've booked the Thrill Waterpark cabana before and admission was for 6 people. You need to notify the shore excursion desk which 6 people so they will add admission to the sea pass card. Thanks @DublinFC for the heads up on the price drop. I checked yesterday for our Harmony SB cruise and it was still showing $799. So happy to get it for $499 especially since 1 waterpark ticket is $93.99. DublinFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I checked with RC as I was interested in this as well, and I was told that all 6 people in the cabana will be given wristbands, included in the $499 price!

HawkeyeFan 31 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 After seeing this topic, I went to our reservation on the Harmony for 1/26/2020. We have a beach bed at CocoCay booked at $299. It is now $199. I called Royal Caribbean and cancelled and rebooked. Even the agent on the phone was surprised how much less it was. Love this blog!

tmp916 32 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 $499 is a great steal especially with the wristbands, if you have a party of 6 it almost covers the cost of the cabana by itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoski 361 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 I just saved $100 on our Thrill Park Cabana. It went down to $299 for our January cruise. I'm excited. We have a family of 5. We can't go to a land water park for $60 per person plus we get the cabana and attendant service. Now our beach bed for Labadee in June 2020 needs to drop.
