Have you been to Labadee, Haiti? Let us know in the comments.
I was first in Labadee in 1988. At that time is was very rural and nothing like when we returned in 2016. I understand they did a lot more work since our last visity.
I was born there
Cost additional ?
Of course I been there many times not only labadee but I went many places in Haiti and they are so beautiful
Surprisingly they offer us barbecue instead of traditional Haitian cuisine which is some of the best dishes I’ve had. That needs to change. If we wanted barbecue we’d stay in America
Hi Pascale, thanks for watching. Perhaps if more people request it, they will make some changes.
Plentiful is the cock on the beach shores right..? No... plentiful is the fish... seafood cuisine or a Haitian creole dish that has greater value. I understand you well!
decameron indigo resort has traditional haitian food.
Mi país el mejor del mundo 🥰🇭🇹🥰
Hi La Beba, thanks for watching.
U won't believe it. I'm from the north part of Haiti not far away from Labade and Cap- Haitian. U just have to keep going a little bit west and you'll find another great beach called Chouchou Bay. Later on you'll find another one called Fond -de- Lagrange. Both are part of the Borgne District. That's where I'm from. I was also living in Cap-Haitian For some time. Cap- Haitian is separated to Labadee by the mountain and a very few miles. I still didn't know what lt looks like. Thk u very much for this video. It's very informative. 👍✌️
Hi Belle, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video.
We have been to Labadee only once before, but it was a couple years ago. We treated it as a relaxing beach day and mostly lounged around. I'm excited to go back and do some of the excursions they offer. Thanks for the walk through it's a great fresher on the layout of the area and activities.
Hi Yennifer, thanks for watching. There's lots to do or do nothing, that's the beauty of places like this.
Of all the cruise vloggers, you have the best and most soothing voice. Great videos.
Hi S. Hopper, thanks for watching and you nice comments.
Hi! Yes been to Labadee one time and looking forward to going back on Oasis in April 2023. Love the relaxed vibe and it's a beautiful combination of landscape and water. Great video as always
Hi Darla, when I was there in April, I also had a chance to stop at CocoCay on the same itinerary. It was quite a contract between the two, but Labadee makes you feel like are somewhere more exotic. While they might offer different features and amenities, most of the Bahamian islands tend to look the same.
FYI,You will be so surprised to see the other side of the resort. There are beautiful mansions and more white sandy beaches. All cruise destinations in the caribbean islands are the exclusivity of the cruise ships; locals are not allowed unless they are employed by the cruise ship companies. These resort areas have become the private properties of the cruise companies while they are still under contract, therefore they can restrict access to the resort areas. It is the same policies in all destinations.
Hi Florence, thanks for watching. Like most cruise line developed properties, you never get a sense of the actual country you're visiting unless you venture outside the compound.
I visted Labadee in 2014. Lovely experience
Hi Roger Moore, thanks for watching.
Hi Chris. We have been and are heading back on Allure of the Seas in early September. We love Labadee! We actually like it better than Perfect Day. Its quieter and more relaxing. Thanks for this great tour. Love your content!
Hi Wes, thanks for your comments. Certainly the surroundings of Labadee are nicer and you can still get a mix of relaxation and extreme activities if you choose.
What an awesome tour!! I will be in Labadee in January 2024....let the countdown begin!!!!
Hi teehawk75, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the tour.
On the bucket list
Hi Cheri, thanks for watching. I hope you get to visit Labadee soon!
I love Labadee, my family & I did the coaster and a beach bed for the day, was a great experience for my kids and we had a blast 👍🏻
Hi James, thanks for watching. Glad you and the family had a nice time at Labadee. Definitely a nice place to spend the day.
I haven’t been there yet. When I do. The whole family is coming. Beautiful scenery.
Hi MrGizmo2g, thanks for watching. You'll all enjoy your time there, I'm certain.
Great video. Thanks !
Hi sinfrelgerlo4358, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Lol I remember when royal Caribbean didn’t advertise labadee as part of Haiti for the longest until they caught backlash
Hi Jeremy, thanks for watching. Yes, I also remember that, they referred to it as Labadee, Hispaniola, never even referencing Haiti.
They have no shame ✌️
why do they need to mention haiti though
@@ethandumas6937 Ummm, clearly because it's in Haiti. 🤦🏾♀️
That backlash was well deserved, there are good places in Haïti that the media doesn’t wanna portray, I just wanna be proud of my Haitian heritage but the world always wants to degrade us. Let’s remain peace 🇭🇹💯
Great, short video. Going in Nov - this made me more excited :)
Hi C Dara, thanks for watching. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time.
My country 🥰😍
Hi Haïlié Sélassié, thanks for watching.
How long did it take you to walk to the end? Thank you for your hard work
Hi Dana, thanks for watching. I spent around 3 hours walking around that morning, with many stops along the way. The distance from the welcome area to Adrenaline Beach could be walked in 10-15 minutes at a good pace.
I'm actually on my way to Labadee now, we will dock there in a few hours.
Hi Tiffany, thanks for watching. Enjoy your day at Labadee.
What a great tour! I’m heading there the end of June and you really got us so excited!
Hi Theresa, thanks for watching. I hope you have an enjoyable time on your cruise.
@@TalkingCruise Thank you so much!!! 😊
WOW WONDERFUL WOW VERY GOOD JOB👍♥️🇭🇹
Hi p s, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed our tour of Labadee, Haiti.
Great tour of Labadee
Thank you.
Thank you very much 😊👍
Hi Alexa, thanks for watching.
Excellent Video: So informative for nervous 1st timers like me! Can you tell me if the Tram is complimentary? It sounds like the lunch & chairs are complimentary, which is AWESOME! Looks beautiful! THANK YOU!
Hi wilkin97, thanks for watching. No need to be nervous, you'll have a a great time. Tram is complimentary and a good way to see what is offered across Labadee. Lunch and beach chairs are also included, except those in the private roped off areas.
Beautiful place hope my girls like it
Hi mannymoi733, thanks for watching. I'm sure everyone will enjoy their time there.
We are going in February and we’re taking our friends on their first cruise. This will be the first time that we have been. Best suggestion for having a great time and keeping on budget. Where can we get the most bang for our buck. We would like to keep our friends cruising.?
Hi The67Cadillac, thanks for watching. Even with the super-inflated pricing in the current market, cruising is still an awesome value compared to land vacations.
Very informative!
We haven’t been to Labadee since pre-Covid but will be there in Feb.
Question: Does the water taxi still run between the wharf and Nelly’s beach?
Hi Vickie, thanks for watching. I did not use one, but I believe I do remember seeing it while there.
Do they offer Haitian foods? That would be the main reason for me to visit.
Hi krlinnstar04, thanks for watching. Just typical foods like other private cruise line destinations, bbq, salads, burgers etc.
This looks to be scooter friendly. I haven't seen any in the videos.
Is it difficult to traverse? I see the walkways are throughout the place
Hi robertb7864, thanks for watching. There are smooth pathways all across the island. Getting down to the beach will likely require some assistance.
Hello, would you happen to know how much is it to rent a wheel chair? Thank you
Hi Too legit Too quit, thanks for watching. There is no cost to use a wheelchair, just arrange it in advance with guest services.
Is the Beverage pkg thru RC usable here?
Hi herschelleism, thanks for watching. Yes, you can use beverage packages at Labadee.
Nice
Hi Joe, thanks for watching.
So does the Deluxe Drink Package from the ship carry over to Labadee? Also no pool on the island?
Hi Randy, thanks for watching. Yes, you can use your deluxe beverage package on the island as well as any Crown and Anchor drink perks. There is no pool on Labadee.
Weather looks fantastic..what month was this
Hi audman13, thanks for watching. That was in April 2022.
I will be there in September. I am interested in the Haitian yacht tour. Is it worth it?
Hi kevrob53, thanks for watching. Not familiar with that tour, but sounds interesting.
So there’s no Haitian food?
Hi Maserati P., thanks for watching. Unfortunately not served by Royal Caribbean.
@@TalkingCruise too bad because I’d think since they’re in the country they would.. you’re doing a great job.
Hi ! Do you know if you can get out to go get some local food ?
Hi Karen, thanks for watching. Not an option to leave property, but I guess you could inquire with some of the locals that work there.
Not allowed.several kidnappings one recently.
@Cloud Nine No, you're mistaken about where the kidnappings are happening. You will never hear someone get kidnape in the North side of Haiti.
Is there any hot springs in Haiti
Hi darrenedmonds1163, thanks for watching. Yes, there are at least 3 from what I understand.
@@TalkingCruise what's there names please
Sources Chaudes, Los Pozos & Eaux de Baynes
@@TalkingCruise there full of helium 3 and 4. Very valuable
Do they offer scuba diving?
Hi Veda, thank for watching. I believe they offer snorkel only.
Is this place safe?
Hi David, thanks for watching. Inside the Labadee compound it is perfectly safe.
Why doesn't the water look blue and turquoise???
Hi SatnamSingh-cy6hg, thanks for watching. I can assure you it was, but conditions close to shore were stirring up the bottom.
What financial compensation does Haiti get?
Hi Steven, thanks for watching. Royal Caribbean pays to lease this property from Haiti, the government also gets a fee per passenger.
@@TalkingCruise That's AWESOME...
That place is definitely NOT coco cay
Hi 3%er Infidel, thanks for watching. It's not trying to be like CocoCay, its comes down to choices of what matters most to each guest.
It looks like they have the beaches and that’s about it. Definitely not anywhere near what coco cay offers
Hi A. Lee, thanks for watching. CocoCay is very popular, but so is Labadee, not everyone needs a theme park type of island experience. I enjoy both, there's nothing wrong with soem relaxation as well.
@@TalkingCruise I totally agree with offering choices for the cruisers and their family. However, I’ve never heard of Labadee and RCL advertises the crap out of coco cay and not a bleep about Labadee. If they ever did marketed Labadee to entice me to go on their cruise, it certainly didn’t tickle my feathers. In addition, there are plenty of quiet and secluded areas at coco cay to enjoy the paradise the Caribbean islands offer. Great video though
@@ALee-cb6zn it's your problem but not at all for the others
I saw no Haitian food
Hi Shantae, thanks for watching. Unfortunately no, they don't serve it at Labadee.
Wish they served Caribbean food 😢
Hi joannechery3449, thanks for watching. I agree, but many seem to like the familiar.
Hey this right side i need to see of my country❤💋❤💋❤💋💋💋
Hi Jessica, thanks for watching.
@@TalkingCruise thanks for expose my country like this
I can not wait to touch down on my father soil with my family
Hi jeanduverne9966, thanks for watching. Sounds great, wish you a wonderful time.
Believe me we have more beautiful place like this in Haiti but they choose to show where they gang fight in port au prince Haiti is beautiful by nature
Hi abbneljacobs6464, thanks for watching. I know, Labadee is not a true representation of all that Haiti has to offer.
@@TalkingCruise Haiti is a beautiful place the history is wonderful but a group of people choose to show the negative part all the time we think you talking Cruise
Just went on an 8-day ALLURE OF THE SEAS WEEK OF OCT 13 I’ll be perfectly fine, never going back to LABADEE. Not only does royal Caribbean CHARGE for every. Single. Thing. On the island. There are also dozens of “locals” trying to sell you something. I am not talking about paying for just drinks…NO! You want to SIT by the water on the beach FEE (and it’s a hefty fee -for 2 loungers with “cabana umbrella” $134.00. You want to ride the coaster? $39.00 PER PERSON PER RIDE. zip line? $100 per person per ride. You want to do the WATER SLIDE….$FEE As I said, there is a FEE for everything! And the only thing that is “free” is the food and let’s just say school cafeteria food AT BEST. I do not mind paying for Quality food and experiences, but this just felt like a huge rip off.
PS. After we paid for the loungers $134.00 the employee who took us to the chairs, told me he was able to “help” us all day and then said “the only thing not included is my BONUS” I said, “my husband already gave you a $30 tip for bringing us the floating mats that we had to PAY $10.00 each for!” 😡
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for watching. I would prefer if they included more things like CocoCay, or at least bundled the other offerings for one price.
💖🏖️🛳️🇭🇹
Hi Peon Francois, thanks for watching.
Labadee is beautiful, the only drawback is the food. It’s awful 😞
Hi Edwin, thanks for watching. I agree on that point, food options are much better at CocoCay.
The food has nothing to do with Labadee but rather the cruise company needs to improve their cuisine by adding Haitian foods in their menu. The Haitian cuisine is one of the best of the caribbean countries.
Maybe they don't serve youl haitian food, because i ve never heard a stranger say that haitian food is awful
Lovely et amourex
Hi Claudy Saintil, thanks for watching.
Están mejor que en cuba, Venezuela, Colombia y es el país más pobre del continente, ni Ripley lo creería 😅!
Hi Eduardomontell-bw7lm, thanks for watching.
