Baked Alaska Posted June 26, 2023 Report Posted June 26, 2023 We are cruising Oasis OS February 2024 with a stop at Coco Cay. We booked this cruise in the summer of 2022. As of today (6/26/23) the Beach Club Pass has not/never appeared in the Cruise Planner. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the new adults only area being built at Coco key. Insights, guesses, or opinions? Quote

asquared17 Posted June 26, 2023 Report Posted June 26, 2023 i figured it was all still up in the air due to the icon launch/kickoff and im coping (barely) by telling myself it’s better this way so it can’t sell out before the black friday sale Quote

Baked Alaska Posted June 27, 2023 Author Report Posted June 27, 2023 Now with Celebrity calling on Coco Cay, I wonder if that's why the Beach Club is not populating on the cruise planner. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote
sleepy425 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Posted June 27, 2023 Still hasn't appeared for my April 2024 Liberty sailing. The cabana that includes the pass has been up for a while, but never the individual pass. Quote
PatsFanBrian Posted June 27, 2023 Report Posted June 27, 2023 It has never been listed for my Odyssey cruise in Jan 2024. I’ve been checking every week for the past 6 months. Only way into the beach club is to purchase a cabana. Quote
Baked Alaska Posted June 28, 2023 Author Report Posted June 28, 2023 @sleepy425, @asquared17, and @PatsFanBrian The Celebrity sailings don't start at Coco Cay until May 2024, so that can't be it. asquared17 1 Quote

Is that official anywhere yet? Just wondering because I picked my date in May based on only one ship there that day? Would the dates be on any site yet? Quote

Babsy47 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Posted June 28, 2023 Interestingly, it is not there for my April 2024 sailing. But, it is available for our September 2024 sailing at $300 per person. I’m not sure how one justifies that price!! Baked Alaska 1 Quote
smost Posted June 28, 2023 Report Posted June 28, 2023 Beach Club passes dropped today for all three of my cruises in 2024. The cabanas with beach passes have been up for a while. April on Liberty - $235.99/person June on Vision - $283.99/ person September on Allure - $235.99/person Those prices are a little too rich for my tastes so we will be passing on it unless the price drops a good bit but I don't expect that.

SebagoSue Posted June 28, 2023 Report Posted June 28, 2023 Thanks for posting @smost. The beach club passes finally dropped today for my 2024 cruises as well. The least expensive was $235.99. smost 1 Quote
smokeybandit Posted June 28, 2023 Report Posted June 28, 2023 I'm glad I got to use the Beach Club at $79. It'll never be that price again. SpeedNoodles, teddy, Pattycruise and 2 others 5 Quote
Baked Alaska Posted June 28, 2023 Author Report Posted June 28, 2023 Yes, just dropped for ours. $235.99/person. I can't imagine what the new adults-only area will be priced at. We just returned from a week-long land vacation in Mahahaul, MX (just south of the Costa Maya cruise port). We rented an apartment above the Malecon21 Beach Club. It was fantastic, laid back, low-key, and much less expensive. My men went fly fishing for the slam (Tarpon, Bone Fish, and Permit) near Xcalak for five days. I caught up on my John Grisham reading and enjoyed fresh margaritas, ceviche, fresh fruits, etc. Our daily rate for our apartment was $205, plus whatever I spent at the Malecon21 beach club. I got a better deal with my land vacay rates than the daily rate for the Coco Cay Beach Club. Corona was 60 pesos, Margarita was 150 pesos! It was as good as a cruise, if not better in some respects. teddy and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote

Shaun530 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Posted June 28, 2023 We're on Freedom next July and I've been checking regularly for the beach club passes--- so far, no luck. Hopefully they're available by the time Black Friday rolls around Quote

PatsFanBrian Posted June 28, 2023 Report Posted June 28, 2023 Guess they are being posted at the same time for a large number of sailings. Mine is coming in at the 235.99/pp price. Ugghhh.... Quote
JBC Posted June 28, 2023 Report Posted June 28, 2023 $284 for my Feb 2024 cruise on Odyssey. I've been there three times, never paid over $100. It's nice, but not worth anywhere near that. I'm actually glad it's priced that high because I don't even have to think about it. If it was like $150 I might be on the fence. BrianB, Baked Alaska and WAAAYTOOO 3 Quote
Xaa Posted June 28, 2023 Report Posted June 28, 2023 Agreed @JBC. I'm sitting at $321.99. Makes passing it by the easiest thing in the world. It's not even close, not even really close to close. JBC, WAAAYTOOO and Baked Alaska 3 Quote
Shaun530 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Posted June 28, 2023 I checked cruise planner this afternoon to discover the Beach Club has been posted at a price of $283.99 pp. When we were there last year, I managed to snag the passes for around $93 each. I think we'll look at renting a day bed on South Beach instead of the Beach Club this trip... hard to justify the purchase at that price. WAAAYTOOO and Baked Alaska 2 Quote

Cactus527 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Posted June 28, 2023 I just saw this via the Celebrity Cyber Nights sale email: To compare, for my next Royal Caribbean sailing that visits PDCC, I see this (to be fair, this is prior to Celebrity starting to visit PDCC): sammy79 1 Quote
BrianB Posted June 29, 2023 Report Posted June 29, 2023 Looks like the $88 beach club passes are never coming back. Oh, well…it was good while it lasted. I agree with the price being so much higher (darn supply and demand economics!) it makes it that much easier to avoid the temptation and pass it by. Plus, I was getting tired of the anxiety involved in being one of the first off the ship and rushing to try and snag a beach bed by the pool. Especially with two ships docked.

Agreed, after 3 times at the beach club (excellent experiences) we decided the last time with the economics of the pass changing, that we would just try a day at South Beach. We were very happy with the decision, PLENTY of good seating, quiet, everything we needed relatively close. Waiting for the adults only area to open and try that out, but we may be South Beach people moving forward. BrianB and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote
