In my opinion when the cruise lines use the phrase you will be taken to the Mayan Riviera´s most “In Vogue” beach club. They don't mean the beach club will be called "In Vogue", it will simply be in the cruise line's opinion a popular beach club.

vogue - definition of vogue by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

Canibal Royal uses the phrase "In Vogue" in their description and so perhaps your relatives could even end up there. However as they only use "In Vogue" and not the name of a beach club like the Canibal Royal they are not under any obligation. It may just be down to who gives the best kick back. Kick backs are always in vogue.

Most of the cruise ships have arrangements with beachclubs for sunbeds and meals etc. If they say they will take your folks to the Parrot, they probably mean it. Now If they say they will arrange a ferry trip to Playa and suggest the Parrot as a place to spen the day, its a very different thing.

Have a great time.

And I always thought it was "en vogue"? I guess it's kind of like when people talk about making a "faux paw"

"en vogue" was a female R&B group in the 90's!

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I always thought it was a French expression that's been around for hundreds of years but I guess they stole it from the girl group in Oakland.
