purescottish Posted February 4, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Can anyone tell me if you have to book on the ship for one of these blue clamshell shades in Labadee or is it a case of first come first served kind of thing...... being of the blue skinned variety I need a wee bit shade on beach days and one of these would be ideal thanks in advance wendy x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted February 4, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 4, 2013 They are first come, first serve. They are free of charge, but the local guys setting them up for you do expect to be tipped. They do have tons of them, so I wouldn't worry about running out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Gamecock Posted February 4, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 4, 2013 You can go to the Excursions Desk and reserve the Clamshells for a fee. By paying for this fee, you get a more "private" side of the island, as well as, 2 bottles of water, a bar near by, a personal waiter, and fresh fruit plate. I found it was well worth paying the money for my own private area of the beach. Lady_G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no charge for clamshells at Labadee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 4, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 4, 2013 There is plenty of shade (trees), if you can't get a clamshell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted February 4, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Clam shell shelters are randomly set up along the beaches on a first come basis......in other words...................run. However there are a lot of shaded areas, just if not more comfortable. Sea ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have a clamshell in a few weeks on Coco Cay and that's all I can think about.... I'm sorry. Lady_G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellarosa Posted February 4, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 4, 2013 so labadee has clamshells for free, whereas we paid 225.00 for cabana in labadee, should we cancel for the free clamshells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenschick9b Posted February 4, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 4, 2013 so labadee has clamshells for free, whereas we paid 225.00 for cabana in labadee, should we cancel for the free clamshells? The clam shell is just a little blue tent thing that you put a couple of chairs under. You don't get any of the stuff that comes with the $225 cabana -- no shower, no private space, no waiter, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellarosa Posted February 5, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 5, 2013 are you sure you get a shower with the cabana?? where ??:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-52 Posted February 6, 2013 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2013 are you sure you get a shower with the cabana?? where ??:eek: I believe the poster was speaking of all the amenities available at Barefoot Beach....not just the cabanas... Yes there are showers, hammocks, a bar, floats, towels, snorkel gear, dining area for (upgraded) lunch... all at no extra charge, and it is private area and NOT crowded.... Cabanas are an extra charge, nice but not needed.....lounge chairs under a tree works for us.... We have a GS booked for our next cruise....considered downgrading to a JS, but because of Labadee I think we will keep GS... any other itinerary and I would downgrade....
