Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)
Pros: Labadee Area Outstanding; Best I've Seen With Private Beach Area. Nightclub DJ Excellent; Great Music (i.e. not 'Techno'; or 'Rap' after 11 PM); 'Hard Days Night' show very good. Small Ship Size a nice change (we normally cruise on larger ships)
Cons: Food Mediocre; Assistant Waiter Poor (kept forgetting things); Cabin Steward Fair (forgot towels on several occassions); On-board staff not that friendly; Entertainment (especially singers/dancers) mediocre at best; wish they had a rowing machine in the gym cardio area.
