Parkhopper Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 We are going on our first RCCL cruise in May and I have had trouble finding the answer to a question. At beaches like Chill Island, are there servers that come around to the beach chairs to get drink orders? We experienced this on. DCL cruise and while getting up and walking a short distance isn’t the end of the world, adding that extra level of laziness was very appealing. We’re trying to decide if the Beach Club is worth it and if that’s the only place they deliver drinks, it may well push us over the edge with our decision. Thanks all! jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan79 Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 The Beach Club is worth it IF you are paying around $100pp. Anything over that and no, it’s not. As for your question, if you are not in the beach club or in a cabana…you have to fend for your own drinks.

PL8SWPR Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 There are people all over the island coming to take your drink order. Even while in the pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably had 10 drinks on cococay last month and only went to the bar for one of them. We were either at the pool or on South Beach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Ogre Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 There are servers all over the island... just be sure to tip well and often for the best service. I tip $1 on order and $1-$2 when I get it depending on how fast they are and then $2 if i never have to ask again. usually they are back before I am finished with one.

Starrynight0154 Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 I think it’s really hit or miss, same with the Windjammer. There’s days servers are walking around taking orders, and days where there’s nobody at all doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCSC Mike Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 There are always servers coming by where we always sit at the pool but it's also not that far from the Oasis Pool Bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, and I don't know if this would play any part in the decision, but my wife has difficulty walking, so she'll have her scooter for the paved bits and we'll have to use the sand wheelchairs for the beach.

Been to the Beach club twice. I would go back for $125. Set by the pool last time. Never even went to the ocean. Catch the Tram from the dock to the Beach Club.

We’ll be there in January for 135/pp and that is worth it for us. Mileage will vary among cruisers. OCSC Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've eaten from there twice while being treated to cabanas by generous family members. I loved the food (except the desserts) and enjoyed the cabanas. What's it worth to me dollar-wise? Virtually nothing because I also have a great time sitting by the Oasis pool for free and eating Snack Shack and Chill Grill food so I'd rather use my money for something else.

KevinJ Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 @Parkhopper I've been there multiple times with my wife and she was using a scooter. I would recommend it. I'm also of the opinion that I wouldn't get it again for over $100, but the way prices have goner up, $125 looks pretty good. I would plan to get there as early as you can to have a good choice of seating, my wife also had to avoid sun so we would always be looking for the shaded areas. Another hint is that you should make your lunch reservation as soon as you can to get your preferred time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
