Reserving a cabana at Lookout Cay?

[Lucien Franciosa]

Has anyone had success at reserving a cabana (preferably adult) at Lookout Cay? I read one platinum member who said they were booked when his window opened up. My booking window is coming up so I was curious. I am assuming it's similar to Castaway Cay but it's always good to hear from those with experience.

It will probably wind up being just like CC, with Pearl and Concierge grabbing most if not all of them before anyone else even has a shot.

@ DynamicDisneyDuo. Probably... but I am still curious about actual experience. The window has passed for the early bookings. Mine is in September

We're sailing Concierge in August on the Magic and have a family cabana reserved at Lookout Cay. Hope you have good luck when your booking window opens!

Thanks... this is exactly what I wanted to hear, given you didn't say otherwise going to assume its like the process for Castaway Cay. Hope you post your impressions after your trip!

Yep, exactly the same process as Castaway Cay. And I will -- can't wait to check out the new cabanas!

Sailing the Magic in a 1BR and I’m on the waitlist. Sigh ….

I wish you the best of luck with the waitlist, care to share what castaway level you are to help calibrate expectations?

If you say pearl, we all have to worry! LOL

Is there somewhere to view current cabana prices? My cruise is pretty far out but I'd love to try to a cabana dependent on price...

They said they are in a 1BR, so they are concierge, which has booking precedence before Pearl. But it is a bit of a moot point because Pearl doesn't currently have a booking advantage anyway. Lately, the way Cabana reservations has worked is that DCL does not make cabanas available through the regular (non-concierge) booking system at the booking window opening dates. They allow concierge to book. If it sells out at concierge, they have a waitlist for concierge that they fill if anyone cancels. If cabanas remain available after concierge booking, they are held back and offered to concierge guests who book after the initial concierge booking window. If they still haven't sold out, they will be released into the standard booking system about a week before sailing.

Adult-only Cabana: $523 for up to 4 guests; each additional guest is $56 for a maximum of 10 guests
Adult-only Grand Cabana: $963 for up to 10 guests; each additional guest is $56 for a maximum of 16 guests

Family Cabana: $963 for up to 6 guests; each additional guest is $56 for a maximum of 10 guests

Thanks, I didn't know it was that convoluted.

It was definitely simpler precovid, but then again, concierge used to bepriced more reasonably. Now for what people pay for concierge I understand why they are holding back cabanas for them.
