1st timers looking to get advice on Cozumel, Labadee and Jamaica

Hi! We are taking our first cruise ever on the Oasis on 3/17/12. We are stopping in Cozumel, Labadee and Jamica. We have 4 adults and 4 in their early twentys. We are looking to see what is the best to do on each of our stops and what isn't. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great! If you have any other advice to give, I would greatly welcome that too! Thanks!

Welcome to Cruise Critic!

Three places for you to do research. First, the RCCL board, here:

Second, the Caribbean Ports board, here:

Note: Labadee will be on the Private Islands board.

Lastly, your roll call:

Where you meet others on your cruise.

Labadee is a beach day....lunch is served on the beach, and is included in your fare.

Your local library should have guide books that will help you plan

We love Cozumel mainly because there's so many things you can do there and never do it all. Our favorite would either be snorkeling or taking a Jeep tour that goes around the island.:)

For Labadee...as others have said it is RCCL's private island we usually just hang out at the beach.:)

For Jamaica...It really depends on where you're stopping...if you're going to Ocho Rios we recommend doing the 4x4 land rover tour that also goes to Dunn's River Falls. Granted you can also do this tour from the other ports but it seemed like a very long drive to get there.:)

Hope this helps! :)

We highly enjoyed the Passion Island by Jet boat, lunch is included, most drinks are included. They do contests to win some of the drinks you would otherwise pay for. Beautiful beach, lots of inflatables to play on and enjoy the day.

Cozumel, you can catch a taxi and go to Paradise Beach, great place, we go with our 2 college kids. Parasailing, beach, huge pool, etc...FUN! you can google it or look on trip advisor...if they try to sell you a package when you leave the port don't buy it just get a taxi. Have fun!
