Royal Caribbean Blog Podcast
The fourth episode of the Royal Caribbean Blog Podcast is available and it's all about Royal Caribbean's private destination of Labadee.
This beach destination is one of my favorite Caribbean ports of call and there's a lot to do here. We discuss Labadee's beaches, shore excursions you can try, the cabanas you can rent and the food available to eat there.
