Hurricane-damaged cabanas reopened?

[PendingPeril]

I saw the grand family beach cabana pop up on my port excursions today, which I read on here had been shut down since the hurricane. Tried to reserve it, but must have been seconds late. Anyone else see it come up for their future cruise?

How far out is your cruise? I haven’t seen anything pop up for our which is in a few weeks.

 

[PendingPeril]

Couple weeks, so not too far out.

I am not sure. I do know though that my Concierge window opened this morning at midnight for our April 25th cruise. We were able to get a cabana but folks who were platinum said that they were not able to. Which I realize is often the case but I do think there are a few that are still not available.

Several Cabanas are still down, no ETA

Cabanas 19, 20 & 21 were being used Dec 26th & 27th on the Fantasy double dip. Dec 26th was the first day since the hurricane

Were you trying to book for more than one cabin? I've discovered that the system won't (or at least wouldn't) allow that. Instead try booking for just your cabin. That has worked for me in the past. It is easy to add the others once onboard.

Ah, finally confirmation. Thanks.

No, it was just for our cabin. Probably would've tried to find another family to split it with had I gotten it. Too bad.

Too bad....maybe next time. Happy sailing.

This ended up working out for us. Took the earliest check in time available and got boarding group 5, then went right to guest services to get on the waitlist for a cabana. I didn’t think they would give us any kind of priority since we were first timers with a GTY reservation. Almost gave up hope and they rang our room for a cabana as we were leaving the room to go to castaway cay. It was a really awesome experience.

Nice. Was this recent or a long time ago? Which ship?

This was recent. Just got off the Dream

Good to know. Our next cruise is a back to back on the Dream, so I might try that when re-boarding early for the second sailing.
