LABADEE HAITI HISPANIOLA
Royal Caribbean Opens New Attraction On Labadee
Pirate-Themed Water Playground Makes Splash at Lines' Private
Destination
A new attraction is changing Royal Caribbean's exclusive port of call
Labadee from a private paradise to a privateer's paradise. The line has
opened a new pirate-themed water playground, sponsored by The
Coca-Cola Company, featuring a "sunken" pirate ship and a new mascot,
Labadee Luc, who will appear on signage throughout the peninsula.
"The new Splash Bash is the perfect addition for guests who want to
become pirates of the Caribbean for the day," said Craig Milan, senior vice
president, Land Operations, for Royal Caribbean International. "With
Labadee's buccaneer past, the Labadee Luc character and the water park's
pirate theme will spark imaginations and add to the enjoyment of our
private paradise."
Labadee Luc's Splash Bash drips, drizzles and drenches with ground
geysers, toppling water buckets, and water archways. Would-be pirates can
stage mock battles with four water cannons mounted on the climb-aboard
ship and connected wharf, or follow the splash pad's painted-on treasure
map trail.
The Splash Bash also features a special play area for kids ages 3 to 5 with
a central pipe that sends water into three separate play areas with dams,
water wheels and other fun activities designed to keep young children
captivated. Admission to the new water playground is $5 per guest for a
two-hour period.
After getting soaked at the Splash Bash, guests can dry off during hot
competition on one of two new volleyball courts or relax in the shade on the
spectator bleachers. Plenty of beach chairs also are available for weary
buccaneers who want to bask in the sun.
The new Splash Bash and volleyball courts are the latest additions to the
abundant activities available at Labadee. The exclusive port of call also
offers an Aqua Park with inflatable, floating challenges, including
rock-climbing walls, balance logs and trampolines; snorkeling amidst
exotic marine life; kayak and WaveRunner® tours; banana boat rides; and
parasailing.
Located on the mountainous, secluded north coast of Hispaniola, Labadee
is a 260-acre wooded peninsula that features five spectacular beaches,
nature trails, open-air dining areas, beachside bars, native entertainment
and a marketplace complete with fine arts and crafts.
