Sit back and catch up on this week's Royal Caribbean news. We've gone through and hand-picked some fun articles for you to take a look at in case you missed any of it.
We're big fans of Royal Caribbean's private destination of Labadee and this week we posted an in-depth first timer's guide to this little piece of paradise.
From the different regions of Labadee, to what each beach offers, this is your virtual tour guide to what to do when you arrive here. Just as important as the beaches, we did not neglect to mention to try at least one Labadoozie while you're there!
Here we go, let's dive in!
