Clarea Posted April 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2017 No, but you get a full 55 seconds of enjoyment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzerci Posted April 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Do you get a champagne brunch served on the way down? Nope. It is mind boggling that people pay that for a minute ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjen Posted April 27, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I remember watching the zipline in Labadee last summer, as each one rolled through, I'm thinking "$100, $200, $300...." what an amazing cash cow that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bala1130 Posted April 27, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2017 But the training class is included free of charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richst48 Posted April 27, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Worth every penny! Love it! We've done it twice and would do it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted April 27, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Did it twice on two different sailings. Yea pricey, but people pay and I mean pay for what they want. Some think it is over priced, yea kinda sorta. But we do not have this back home........we have ONE red light in our town, so this is the BIG time for us. The whole excursion takes about 90 min. From check in to orientation to practice run, to anticipation going up the side of the mountain. Had a blast Enjoy we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar1068 Posted April 27, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Well...also included is the intense training "class" and training run on the training zip line..so you know...you have that going for you for the price paid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted April 27, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Did it 6-7 years ago because some friends travelling with us wanted to. Way over-priced, once was more than enough. Two hours tied up in lines and practice for a 50 second ride.....................:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSUNole Posted April 27, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted April 27, 2017 We're not cheap or poor but I suppose since I've done that before in other countries (Ie. $50 for a 17 run line in Mexico with tequila tasting and snacks) it just seems outrageously expensive.

setsail Posted April 27, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 27, 2017 All I have talked too really enjoyed the ride and not a single one said anyone forced them to book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicfairy Posted April 27, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It was completely worth it in my opinion. My husband, myself , my 21 yr old daughter and 17 yr old daughter did it. My 21 yr old has super bad anxiety and tryed to back out but my husband talked her through and I have to say she smiled bigger than I've ever seen in my life!! It was worth it!! My husband is a tower dawg ( tower worker) climbs for a living and even he enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinShips Posted April 27, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It was very enjoyable and truly exhilarating. Some may see it as $95 for 55 seconds, and I get that...I see it as $95 for a thrill and a memory for a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj7763 Posted April 27, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It was worth every penny. That take on a practice run first and a ride up the mountain. The views from the platform were breathtaking. See my ship in the distance and the turquoise waters of the bay. Would do it again. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renza Posted April 27, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 27, 2017 If u keep looking sometimes the excursions go down. We booked for $75 each. It is crazy Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzeluver Posted April 27, 2017 #16 Share Posted April 27, 2017 We have been to Labadee several times but have not done the zipline there. We have done ziplines in other ports (St Kitts, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico) that cost about the same but included multiple zip lines (as many as 12) and were in rain forests which made them quite the adventure. The Labadee one is not worth it to us to do just one zip, and over a beach, but it is for a lot of folks. If no one was paying they would have done away with it or lowered the price. Now the Dragontail Coaster in Labadee we love!!:hearteyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renza Posted April 27, 2017 #17 Share Posted April 27, 2017 We too have zip lined in many islands but I have many friends who said u must do the one in Labadee at least once. The view is suppose to be amazing. So next month we will try. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted April 27, 2017 #18 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Is it worth it? Depends on your view point. I did it about 8 years ago. I thought it was awesome, but I would never pay to do it again. Its one of those things that you've done it and move on. Kind of like swimming with the Dolphins. I did that over 10 years ago, but would not pay to do it again. For me, it falls into the category of "been there, done that" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBone2K Posted April 27, 2017 #19 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I have seen zip line excursions at several of the ports. So compare prices, I suppose. If you aren't sure, maybe go search/ask in the ports of call area of CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinggrandma57 Posted April 27, 2017 #20 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I went on it last year and loved it. Yes, pricey but its an experience you must try at least once. Every cruise I try something different, helmet diving, parasailing, zip lining & river rafting. You only live once enjoy it.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD Posted April 27, 2017 #21 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Since supply and demand seem well matched, the price is exactly right. I've avoided doing it for 2 trips due to price, but this last time we went and I'm glad. The run isn't that long but the memories and gopro video are much longer.

CarpeCerevisi Posted April 27, 2017 #22 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Haven't done Labadee's but I have done the ZipRider at Icy Strait Point in Alaska with a drop of 1320 feet and a length of 5495 feet. That one is worth the price. The zip line at Labadee drops 500 feet and is around 2600 feet in length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad-dog74 Posted April 27, 2017 #23 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I pay it x3 for the kids and myself... done it twice and will be doing it again in August when we are they're. But hey, I've also paid $60 to have out picture made with a monkey. (At least the proceeds went to monkey conservation... so they said). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted April 27, 2017 #24 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I did it once and had a rush. Totally enjoyed it, but wouldn't do it again. One rush was enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev71 Posted April 27, 2017 #25 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I did it back in 2012, I believe it was 75$ US back then. It was worth it. I would do it again. It was peaceful . I was worried more worried about the jeep driver driving us to the top of the mountain :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
