Labadee, RCCL private island, private cabana.... need I say more?

Years ago we sailed on Disney and visited Disney's private island - Castaway Cay.  I must say that for me, that was one of the best stops on the cruise.  It was only our ship in port, we had the beach to ourselves (relatively speaking as we had to share with our ship passengers).  The day was just one of our best I thought.

So, when I heard that RCCL had a private island now as well, I have wanted to book a cruise that passes through that port.  Their private island is located on Labadee, Haiti.  One of the things that you can book while there is a cabana.  This is what John and I are thinking of doing while we are there.

There are cabanas on Barefoot Beach as well as Nellie's Beach.  The Barefoot Beach cabanas are offered to suite guests first.  If any of those are left, then they open those up for others to book.  The cabanas on Nellie's beach are open to any guests and can be booked when the reservations for other excursions open (usually after final payment).  Believe me, John and I were already looking to book one of these yesterday but the reservation system did not allow us to.

There are over-the-water cabanas, beach cabanas, and hillside cabanas.  We are most interested in the over-the-water one.  They accommodate 2-6 people.  (Russell family, if you and your family decide to get one, I have read one family's review to say they had 6 adults and 4 children and they were actually allowed all 10 people in their cabana since the kids were small.  So, it would be worth your while to ask about that if these interest you at all.)

If you all are interested in booking one, let me know.  I kind of wondered if we all booked together under one reservation then maybe our cabanas would be right next to each other.  (Unless you need/want some private time, then you can get a cabana off by yourself.)

Here is a link that gives you a little more information on the Nellie's Beach over-the-water cabanas:
