Beach Loungers for Two in Labadee

Can anyone explain exactly what we get for the price of this Beach Loungers for Two excursion in Labadee? On Cruise Planner it is $45 per person, but I also heard that the clam shell canopy is what we are really paying for and the lounge chairs are free. I also heard that without a reservation, you are not allowed in that section.

I purchased one for $45. I have a family of three. How does it this work out? Do I need to pay for all of my family members just to get in the area or are we simply paying for the clamshell? I hope someone can explain the confusion of this excursion who has experienced this recently. Thanks.

There are lounge chairs all over the place in Labadee.

Why in the world would you pay for one?

It's not the chairs, it's the clamshell we are supposed to be paying for, I think. That's what I'm trying to clarify.

If you get to the beach early you should be able to get a spot with shade. On Nellie's beach and Columbus beach there are a few palm trees. Also on Nellie's they have a few palapas (natural umbrella's).

But I'm pretty sure you can bring your family of three into the reserved area without any issue. In fact a few years ago when the clam shell were free we were able to get 3 loungers under the clamshell easily. Not sure if they are still the same size?

I'd opt for finding some shade rather than pay for a clam shell! There are lots of palm trees on Labadee.

I hope you get some more activity with this post. I booked a clam shell and it seemed as if I was suppose to check DH and myself for a total of $90. Still not sure if I ended up with one or two clam shells!

From what I was told, $90 would pay for two clam shells.

When you book these "shelters", whether it's a clamshell, or cabana, or beach bed, etc....only ONE names needs to be on the booking, or you will be booking 2 items!

So, if you book a clamshell for 2, only ONE name! Same with a cabana...only ONE name, but you can have 5 guests for a total of 6.....

I'm with the others, tho...no real need for a "shelter"...loungers are everywhere, and you can move them if they aren't where you want to be!

Thanks for that response. I feel a lot more confident with the process now. I will also consider going without one altogether as well.

As I recall, the beach beds and clamshells were both on the windy side facing the zipline. Not much shade over there and lots of rocks (they were not allowing people in the water when we were there). Beaches to right (like Nellie's) have more shade and lots more sand.

You can buy a clamshell similar to this at Academy Sports (or similar stores) for about the cost of one day's rental -- and then it'd be yours forever. The clamshells fold up to about the size of a camp chair and fit inside a nylon bag.

Royal's clamshells are not set up in a nice area. This stretch of beach is very shallow (good if you have small children), but it is super rocky. I'd advise water shoes.

It's bad enough packing clothes, shoes, etc., now we should pack a clamshell. I got one of those as a gift from Bally's casino in AC and boy is unwieldy.

What!?! They are now charging for those stupid clamshells? That's crazy!

And you have to give the attendant a tip to bring it over!

I sunburn very easy so I booked one for me and one for my husband. Price was $90. So I called customer service and was told clam shell is for 2. So I deleted one.

How close are the clamshells to the swim up bar- they are on adrenaline beach now, right?
