Rellyrooly Posted June 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Just got a change notice that our previously scheduled Labadee stop is now going to be a Coco Cay stop instead. Are they doing that to all Labadee stops from now on? I know they refurbed Coco so I am excited to stop there since I have been to Labadee twice, but I am just wondering why they are doing this? Are there plans to refurb Labadee? Are they going to stop going all together? Anyone have any insight? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted June 29, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I've not heard that Labadee will be totally discontinued. They probably expect more profit at Coco Cay now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare brillohead Posted June 29, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2019 My November 29th sailing on Explorer is still going to Labadee on the way to the ABCs. I think they are probably just filling in "empty spots" in the schedule for Coco Cay so it's not sitting idle (not making money) when they have a ship that will be in that general area anyway.

Just a heads up; you may get a change too. Your cruise is after mine. Maybe you won't but I'll be interested to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are scheduled to Labadee on November 17th Harmony cruise. Not a beach person but would get off ship in Labadee but never get off in Coco Cay.

depplep Posted June 29, 2019 #14 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Just got that email yesterday for Symphony Oct. 19. Disappointed only because I like the view of Labadee from the pool. Not getting off either way. They must really be hoping for people to purchase the extras on CocoCay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OfTheSeasCruiser Posted June 29, 2019 #16 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Oasis is still going to Labadee on the 12/15/19 sailing, but I'd rather be heading to the new CocoCay. I wonder when we will see an announcement pertaining to Perfect Day at Labadee. Edited June 29, 2019 by OfTheSeasCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, me too, but you have to admire the market research folks, they know their target group, and they know that by and large that group will be willing to pay big.

depplep Posted June 29, 2019 #19 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I thought it was very well done and I can see why people would like it, but I'm amazed at the hype, marketing and the amount of people wanting to go. I guess we're getting old. I am starting to feel like all the Amped additions are not for us. We're just now 53yrs old and I think we might need to look for a different experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about different. I'm seriously considering Royal Clipper. Would still be a few years out for us if we try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, we haven't been bothered as of yet. The only real issue I have right now is the movies at the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge was on my list but I've decided it's not different enough. As long as we're in a suite Oasis class will hold us over for the next couple of years. Probably more Symphony and less Oasis.
