It was a pretty location. The local beach attendants were a bit aggressive and several of the island vendors also were as well. The excursion away from the main beach was nice but also everyone was looking for a tip or to purchase something. Expected some bit not quite to the level that was present.

I was worried after reading all the negative reviews. We ended up having a wonderful day. We rode the tram (it is very near where you get off the ship) to Nellie’s Beach. I picked this one because I loved the scenery. It was not crowded at all. Be ready to have cash to tip the workers for helping you with chairs and umbrellas. I had to check out the vendor market area after all the comments. When you get there there are guys waiting to “walk you in”. You can say no, but they will follow you. All in all it was ok. They want you buy and look at items. It didn’t bother us. I understand. Unfortunately it was not a place where you can leisurely shop. We did a quick through and left. I bought a Christmas ornament and that was it. The water was freezing. I did not go in. Even though it was high 80’s I felt it was too cold. I forgot to get a paper map and I wished I would have had one just to see what was around.

We rented a kayak, snorkeled, swam, played pokemon go, and had lunch. Kayaks were $15 to rent, snorkeling was free as long as you had your own equipment, or you could buy equipment for about $80. Lunch was hot dogs and hamburgers with other traditional picnic fare; they did pull out some ribs at some point as well. The artisan's market is very high pressure, though they tell you "no pressure, no pressure" every time. Every booth has mostly the same stuff, though occasionally you can find something unique. I will be in Labadee in February and I will avoid the artisan's market like the plague. It was very uncomfortable.

We made this our lazy day and left the ship late. We took the water taxi boat out to Columbus Cove and then easily found some beach loungers in the back by the bathrooms and lunch place where we set up and then went in the water. It was crowded, but still enjoyable. The free lunch there was a cookout-type style with burgers and hot dogs and such. We only spent about two hours at the beach and then took a tram back to the ship. I didn't realize how big Labadee was. I would probably have explored a little more if we didn't have our son with us.

If a local asks you to support the local shops do not go with them. They are very pushy and want you to buy everything. They have small wooden gifts for sale. The food here was also just ok. The hot dogs were very pink on the inside.
