Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island) Port Reviews

LOVED this stop!! Did the zip line which was great! They first take you to a short practice zip line. 100 yards long maybe 40 feet high. Then they bus you to the top for the big one!! The locker to store your things is not included, it’s $8 and is charged to your sea pass. Then we had lunch which they provided, which was good! It’s the same food that is on the windjammer buffet, so it’s good but not great, I enjoyed it! And we went to Nellies beach which is down about half way up the zip line just passed the private beach club on the right. It faces the island not the ocean and has NO rocks and was clear and beautiful! Best beach by far! No waves but no rocks!

Royal Caribbean has an exclusive port here until the year 2050. It is a beautiful piece of Haiti. The water is stunning in color and the mountains are rugged and majestic. There is a small village there accessible mainly by boat as there are very few roads. The villagers make their living fishing, farming and from the cruise line. Take some cash with you to trade in goods and for tips to the musicians. I selected the speedboat and snorkel tour. It is best, as you are only in a small group, the boat goes fun fast and the snorkeling was better than the reviews. The water is so clear and the area you drop in is only about 5-6 feet deep. But you get lead into deeper and deeper water where the reefs and coral are easily seen. There are places where you can dive down 15-20 feet in between formations like going into a canyon. You eventually make your way to the edge where the drop off is about 40-60 feet into the bluest blue. Lots of tropical fish, so you might find Nemo. The guides were terrific. Once you are back in the boat, you speed away to Acul Bay where Columbus discovered the Haitian people. Once he left, it was near here where he lost the Santa Maria to a storm. Lots of history in this area. There are so many excursions here, and I would say it is the best stop on this trip. It has it all, along with natural beauty from the water and island. The crew from the boat provides a great lunch on shore, so keep your appetite as the food was very good. A beach bar b que or burgers, ribs and chicken. This is the stop you dream of for cruises in my opinion. No pushy shop owners, just relaxing times and a few locals who appreciate you being there. One of our guides is born and raised there.

Also! I am unsure where people are going to say that they have to pay for chairs, but ours were completely free, provided by royal Caribbean. No umbrellas, but the palm trees provided the BEST shade 😎

Try the zip line - YOU WON’T BE SORRY!!

This was a really great port even though at first I thought it a little disappointing since I didn't really get to see real Haiti and experience the culture of the people. I soon changed my feelings after enjoying aqua & rollercoaster package. My entire family enjoyed the rollercoaster and scenery, the fun time on the beach and finally lunch buffet.

My most favorite port so far! Finally did the zip line last trip and the views were amazing. Will be doing the roller coaster next trip just for fun! It’s a great day to relax on the beach!

This private island makes you feel special! We loved zip lining!

I travelled with my 79 yr. young mom, the staff on Labadee went out of their way to make her day at the best perfect. They were amazing!
