ILoveScotland Posted January 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) I will be on the Allure in a couple of weeks with a day at Labadee. Does Royal Caribbean provide a picnic on the beach while there? If not, what are the options for food while off the ship? Thanks, Beth Edited January 16, 2019 by ILoveScotland wanted to change font.

bowler15547 Posted January 16, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2019 They bring the food from the ship and set up a buffet lunch on the island. Usually consists of burgers, ribs and the like. Very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cementhands Posted January 16, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Bbq buffet usually around noon. We always try to get a spot on beach next to bbq area. First in line is great. If you’re late then things get picked over. $1.00 and a thank you with a smile goes a long way for the locals that get you a chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted January 16, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If you get to the buffet early there is plenty. After awhile they need to refill the serving trays and there is often a wait--or they run out. Also, I do not like the flies around the food. They last few times DH and I wait to eat until around 2ish and just return to the ship. Better food and we miss the rush to get back onboard.

jholzhauser Posted January 16, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 16, 2019 They have the BBQ lunch and I was not the biggest fan. Lots of flies and everything was chaos. We were also on a NYE cruise so it was packed. Everything was also kind of lukewarm which was questionable. Some stuff was fine though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveScotland Posted January 16, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thanks for all the replies. Are there other food options at Labadee? Or, does one need to return to the ship if she/he doesn't want to eat at the buffet? Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything that is at the buffet is brought from the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some stuff was fine though LOL...that is what we call it also. Like ordering from the beach buffet...."You want flies with that?"!! We like to get off the ship early, walk around to get some exercise, then back on the uncrowded ship for lunch.

oldmom Posted January 16, 2019 #15 Share Posted January 16, 2019 We have stopped eating on this Island. My husband is not picky about his food- "Food is food." He is a paramedic and has eaten at gas stations- the hot dogs on the rolling things- that I refuse to eat. That said- after our 3rd trip here-the flies have gotten so bad on the food-that he now refuses to eat here. We eat a large breakfast and get back on for a late lunch.

Rare island lady Posted January 16, 2019 #16 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Will be there next week, and once again will enjoy the food on the ship. Shame the flies are getting worse. 😮 Edited January 16, 2019 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be pretty bad when the hot dogs on the rolling thing are better than the BBQ. I'm surprised Royal Caribbean hasn't found a way to charge for the flies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfaaa Posted January 17, 2019 #24 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I must say dealing with aggressive black flies and running the pesky vendor guanlet are part of the unique Labadee experience you won't find anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple to avoid the vendors...just stay away from the vendor village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
