    Now that Royal Caribbean has opened Labadee back up, hoping it helps the Haitian people somewhat after all the turmoil they’ve experienced over the past several years.

      Well, at least a few of them will have part time jobs thanks to the tourists.
      As for the turmoil, good luck with improving that.

    We just got off Oasis that stopped here. My wife rented one of the cabana things in Columbus Cove. Best money we spent. The staff brought us our drinks so we never waited at the bar and we were real close to that dining area. Absolutely the best way to spend a day at the beach. Oh, the view of the ship was nice too.

    Thanks Matt for the tour I had an interesting time there, I was using a mobility scooter and pretty much got around OK but I felt that when I got back to the food area I was ignored and not helped to find out more about what food choices were available and where to park my scooter or no it seem like there was no one to help me that but other than that it was just beautiful out there thanks again for the tour

      Be careful about getting too far away from the main area. Like they say, it’s a peninsula, NOT and island and there is a fence separating this area from the rest of Haiti. There are some sketchy individuals there that try to get you into their shops. We were there right before Covid. Food was blah, flies all over it. Beach area is beautiful but we decided there was more to do on the ship.

There aren't many videos out there of this port that are as bright and pretty as this one, but luckily you had great weather. We did too and found this to be the best beach day. The Zip Line is expensive, but it was worth it, and we had never done a zip line before.
