Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island) Port Reviews

do the sandbar excursion. Had a wonderful time!

Loved everything about this location, lots of options and chairs and umbrellas, food was good but the amount of waste (plastic and paper is unbelievable!!) band playing, dancers, several beach locations, sports activities, nice beach and water

Labedeewas a great place , they had a wonderful barbecue buffet for us. We did do an excursion …the worlds longest zip line. The island has lots of things to do , Beach, water sports and just walking around! It was extremely hot and we didn’t do much walking !!

Love this Port also

Zipline - Scary but so much fun

This was our favorite stop! Labadee was picturesque and serene. Once again, we didn’t have to spend a dime to thoroughly enjoy ourselves. We started at Nellie’s Cove where we swam and relaxed in loungers (there were plenty of loungers to be found on every beach). We then made our way over to Columbus Cove where we swam again. We ate hamburgers and watermelon salad at the Columbus Cove Cafe. We walked through the shops on our way over to Dragon’s Beach, but didn’t buy anything. At Dragon’s Beach we waded out to the swim up bar (not as deep as the one at CocoCay) and tried out the over-the-water swings. We agreed that we liked Nellie’s Beach best, so made our way back & remained there for the day. Note the walk is not as far as it appears. We took the tram in, but walked all the way back to the ship. Next time we will be sure to pack some blow up noodle float chairs!

Third time there and it's a great stop. Only complain I have and I feel sorry for the people that sale the items. I know that is their income but they hound you and really don't get to shop and really look at things. Once again I know this is how these people make their money. Love the dragon breath. Also I think the canopies that RC owns cost to much. We pay for the cruise and this should be included at a reasonable price. $1000 for a canopy is very expensive.

Labadee was awesome and one of our favorite stops. Do be aware that the local market (behind the artisan market) has aggressive sellers. Royal Caribbean staff members escorted us and advised us to stay together. My husband was also with us but even with those security measures, one seller did attempt to put a bracelet on my daughter's arm without permission and two other sellers attempted to pull another teen girl in our group away. Be aware!

Naturally beautiful, peaceful, and uncrowded. Royal's private island nook called Labadee is the Yin to Coco Cay's Yang. These are ALL chill-island-style beaches, whereas CoCo Cay is a loud, adventurous, party vibe island. This is like Maui while CC is like Spring Break Daytona. These pics are from under our umbrella on Barefoot Beach. Great drinks! You gotta try a Labradoozie Daiquiri made with dark rum and local fruits like kiwi and currant! Your ship beverage package works all over the place. Excursion: None necessary, just pick a free beach and GO! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This port is beautiful and quiet, but had plenty to do. However, we did not like the spot at the one end where locals had their booths set up to sell their merchandise. They were beyond pushy and very intrusive. I was literally surrounded by about five large men that were so close, even when walking, that I could feel them. I was backed in to one of their spaces, and blocked by several of the men from exiting, I had to hold on to my things tightly and it actually scared me. The only thing that finally made me feel a little better was knowing I was inside port gates, and that I finally saw a couple of security men. I pushed through to get out towards security, and got away from there as quickly as I could. I would advise everyone to stay away from that area. This port would be close to perfect, if they could somehow regulate the market for the local vendors.
