cjappert Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 1. Do we NEED to book an excusion if we want to lay on a lounge chair? ( like beach loungers for 2, or cabanas ect) or do they have lounge chairs somewhere that we can use? 2. I also noticed alot of different beach areas... are some better than others ?

rjac Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I was there this past February. No, you do not have to "book an excursion to lay on a lounge chair". You can rent them from the attendants on the beach as well as clam shell shelters if you want lots of shade. The beach we were on was on the cove side and you could see the cruise ship. Very calm, little breeze and not much of a view. From what I saw while walking around, the ocean side beaches were nicer. Cleaner water, some waves, nice view. There are shuttle carts that will carry you from the dock to the beach you want. All of the food and beverages comes off of the cruise ship. The barbecue lunch was great!

KLA Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 1. NOPE! Lots of free beach chairs all around . 2.. Explore and see what beach you enjoy most, but I've heard most people talk about the Columbus Cove area of Labadee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzard05 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I'm still a little confused about Labadee.... Do you have to book an excursion, cabana, beach bed, etc. to have access to the regular lunch buffet on Labadee...or is that complimentary regardless? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLMoran Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 It's complimentary regardless. But you're free to go back on board for lunch if you're not a fan of barbecue. Buzzard05 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestingBird Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 It's not just BBQ. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it's hot dogs, hamburgers, and BBQ ribs, with various sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was raised to include hot dogs and burgers in the "BBQ" food group, right up there with ribs, chicken, steaks, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocalarnd Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Yes, there is bbq, dogs, and burgers. But MANAGE your expectations. On our Labadee day (Oasis only ship in port), the lines at noon were huge, so we waited till 1:30 when lines shortened. There was a reason they were shorter. By that time there was NO BBQ to be had, and most other things were gone as well. Only burgers, dogs, and a couple salad type items left. So unfortunately our memory is not as fond of the Labadee BBQ. But, headed back to ship, and did much better there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's a southern thing, or not, but with some people I know you have to be specific. A cookout could include some bbq. My wife is actually allergic to bbq sauce, so maybe that's why I differentiate between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, here in NJ I don't think we differentiate between "uses bbq sauce" or not, just if it's cooked on the grill with charcoal then it's a barbecue. I don't count cooking with gas on the grill, that's just an outside range top. ? RestingBird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
