flamingos Posted February 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2022 We are booked for the end of April, including Labadee. I looked at the shore excursions and they include 'bed bed' rentals, and 'beach lounger for two', in addition to cabanas. At CocoCay, regular beach chairs under umbrellas were plentiful, and free. Do they have the same at Labadee? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beach attendants who are locals will hustle to get you a chair when you debark because they expect a tip but avoid the offers closest to the dock. They will hustle you to the worst beach area, rocky Adrenaline beach. Go to the farthest beach Columbus Cove. If you don't want to walk that far there is a free tram that will take you there. The beach attendants who place the chairs will expect a tip so bring a dollar or two per chair to tip them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingos Posted February 8, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Thanks - I remember the attendants and always bring cash. It's changed so much since the last time we were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at a map - is Columbus Cove the same place as Nellie's Beach? https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Private_Destinations/14039222_Labadee_Map.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbus Cove (42) is the next beach over and to the right of Nellies beach. It is confusing as the wording about Nellie beach is actually close to the Columbus beach area.

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted February 11, 2022 #8 Share Posted February 11, 2022 will be interesting to hear how Labadee is doing these days. I enjoyed watching the zip line come down and then ending at the beach off to the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked an excursion on their website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbus has way more kids because of the water toys. Nellies is nice and sandy. We love it there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you share the costs of the cabanas please? They are under shore excursions, when you look at your cruise at the Royal site. Right now the Nellie's Beach cabanas for 2 are $550 for over the water, or $508 for a waterfront Nellie's beach cabana, and $338 for a Nellie's beach cabana. 🙂 Edited February 11, 2022 by flamingos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeputyDawg46 Posted February 12, 2022 #14 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Any good snorkeling in Labadee? I have my own equipment. If snorkeling available, does it cost? Edited February 12, 2022 by DeputyDawg46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One the chair guys wanted to give a private tour when we were one of the first people off the ship. He was pretty insistent. They kept the chairs stacked up instead of putting them out on the beach so you are more pressured to tip. We stayed on the ship last time we went there. Nothing like CocoCay where you are not harassed by the staff that Royal employs there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoiding the vendor area is easy enough to do, if you don't want to be around the pushy salespeople, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
