    Our arrival was on time without any special announcements.


    Right on time the gangway was open and off I went, nearly first off the ship.

    Being early off means the usual instagram photos spots were void of fellow passengers.


    I walked up the nature path to the overlook for another view of the ship.



    Around the fort the path to the point was closed but I later found it was open so back to that in a bit.   Meanwhile... it's a normal day in paradise.

    I didn't plan to do a full live report from this short 4 night cruise on Liberty from Port Everglades with a single stop in Labadee, Haiti.  However Haiti has been in the news lately and so I thought I'd at least post some Labadee photos to illustrate Labadee is still as beautiful as it has always been.  
    I booked this cruise at the last minute just three days before the sail date.  Haiti has been in the news since before I booked this cruise yet on Friday morning when I saw a relatively okay cruise fare that was open for solo cruisers to book I had no hesitation booking this cruise. 
    I've been to Labadee countless times and I'm very familiar with the social economic and political background of Haiti.  There is no need to visit any of that in this thread.
    I'm here in Labadee as I write this, back on the ship after a two and half mile walk around Labadee.
     

    Spoiler alert - It's still beautiful here and I still love Labadee.
    Next up, some photos...

    All in all it's a pretty normal day here.
    I understand some excursions were cancelled such as Jet ski tours and Amiga island.  I don't know the reasoning and didn't ask.
    I would not hesitate to book another cruise with only a stop in Labadee.
    Now back to Labadee for round two with the Labradoozie Society.

    A quick stop at Barefoot Beach before it was heavily populated with suite guests for the day.

    Next over to Nellie's Beach.

    And on to Columbus Cove.


    A short stroll through the artisan's market.

    Then over to Adrenaline Beach.


    It's an absolutely fantastic day here at Labadee.

    The point was now open so I ventured out for a look.

    Walking along the fort the little bit of cloud cover has burned off and it's a beautiful day in full sunshine.

    With the ship in full sunlight I stopped at the overlook again for more pictures.


    Finishing at the base of pier the area was much busier now so a few last photos of the ship.

    Guests were streaming onto the roller coaster and by now zip liners were making their flight over water.

    These featherweights stalled at the bottom and needed a rope assist to finish their journey.

    More guests have been strolling off the ship and it was getting harder to take photos without guests in the pictures so it was time for a Labadee tradition.
    The Labradoozie Society was calling my name.

    With only Liberty here there appears to be plenty of available loungers everywhere.  Maybe not front row though.
