Are there market places you can shop in the private RCI area that you won't be pestered?

 

Yes. It is called the Artisan's Market on the map of Labadee. It is housed in a building and all of the items are marked with the price. There is no haggling, just shopping. The other area, referred to as the Straw Market in previous posts (Artisan's Village on the map), is a gauntlet of shops that lead to Colombus Cove beach from the Town Square area. These items do not have a price marked on them and negociating is expected, with some of the vendors being rather pushy.

Well, how 'bout that....I didn't know that, and must have walked right past the Market. If I'd known it was (relatively) hassle-free, I'd have stopped in.
