[Honeymooner15]

I know on labadee they serve bbq. But what specifically do they serve? And is bbq the only option? Thanks.

It is not just BBQ, it is a BBQ style lunch. I am sure I am missing some items, but I remember hot dogs, hamburgers, jerk chicken, ribs, corn on the cob, rice, various salads, and desserts. The suite guests also get seafood skewers and steak

The lunch is okay. The ambience is nice. One day I'm going to stay for lunch on the ship though. The shrimp skewers are good.

Last time I was on Labadee it was very hot out. There was a server standing by the buffet with a paper plate chasing the flies off the food. Not my kind of dining!!:eek::eek::eek:

We spent the day at Labadee and went back to the ship a little early for lunch(around 1/1:30). The buffet didn't look that great and the line was really, really long.

I'm going to watch for that this May. The two times I was there, people were in full sheep mode. The buffet had two sides to it and they were all coming from the same direction, one big line, the other side no line.

we waited for the line to get shorter

 

they ran out of food b4 that time . . .

There is more than 1 buffet station on Labadee.... we had chicken, burgers, dogs, ribs, and all the sides....potato salad,macaroni salad, cole slaw, fruit salad, plain fruit, corn.....I can't remember the rest, but there was a lot!

 

And, of course, the ship is up and running, if you'd rather go and eat in AC!!!!

I think a better term would be "cook-out" style lunch, but other than that your description is excellent. Some people from some parts of this country think only ribs, chicken, pulled pork , etc.. when you say BBQ. :)

We got a gs and will try to get a cabana at BB. But I have a huge issue with flies on the food. is it to far to go back to the ship and eat there and then retutn to BB? Or is it possible to get clean food without flies?

Once when we were at Labadee the cutoff time for lunch arrived and they would not let people who were already in line get in. I never heard tempers flare like what I saw that day. I was quite an eye opener.

To answer your original question, last week we were served Lunch which included juices, water, tea, breads, grilled chicken, pork chops, beef, hamburgers, hotdogs, ribs, slaw, green salad, potato salad, corn on the cob, light desert bites, and a few other items.

WOW how frustrating.

 

We have been to Labadee 5 times and must have dodged the flies at the buffet.

 

Hoping they stay away this summer too.

 

Safe travels.

All the food you are offered mostly likely was prepared on the ship and carted to the feeding stations. We eat on shore if the lines are manageable, otherwise we return to the ship to eat.

We are going to be on Labadee on Good Friday- I wonder if this will be remembered when they prepare their buffet. I would expect not but hope that the MDR has quality fish for dinner.

Really doubt it.

The buffet is prepared on board the ship and brought to the serving area, and the last 5 times we were there was the same (buffet open to all).

 

The only time we got our seafood was on skewers at barefoot beach (suite beach).

 

Good luck.

 

Safe journey

The last thing I would want to eat is fish that has been sitting around in the heat of a Labadee day.

If nothing else, there is always the salmon on the alternative menu every night in the MDR.

If you decide to go back to the ship for lunch. Are you able to get back off and go back to the beach? Or is it once you get back on you can't get back off?

 

Thank You

[CaribbeanBound]

You can go back and forth all you want. Very easy. It's a fun island and the food is reasonably good. You'll really have no reason to go back to the ship until you're done with your beach day. Have fun.

[Ocean Boy]

I was at Labadee today. The food was not good and the lines to get to the not so good food were ridiculous with both Independence and Grandeur in port.

 

And, yes, you can come and go from the ship as much as you want. The Windjammer was closed for lunch today or I would have gone back to the ship to eat.

Lines of course depend on which lunch pavilion you choose to eat at and the time. We ate freshly prepared food about 11:30-11:45 (soon after they opened) at the Columbus Beach Pavilion (furthest from the pier). There was no line. It wasn't gourmet, but it was certainly fine for beach BBQ.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it.:)

We have an over the water cabana booked at Nellie's beach. Which buffet is closest?
