Hotel Group Booking

When reserving return flights, we recommend guests to book an afternoon or evening departure flight to ensure they have enough time to get to the airport after disembarking the ship. Guests are recommended to fly into the Miami International Airport (MIA).

Airports

There are many ways to travel between the airport, hotel, and cruise port. Many hotels will provide shuttles from the airport and to the cruise port. The hotel selected for the group booking will prioritize this feature. Guests who choose to stay at a different hotel or fly in the morning the cruise departs are encouraged to use 3rd party shuttles, ride shares (Uber / Lyft), or taxi. Renting a car is not recommended.

Transportation

Since Labadee is Royal Caribbean's private island, US residents do not need a passport to visit. Guests who travel without a passport must bring a valid US ID and original birth certificate. Copies of birth certificates will not be accepted.

Passport Not Required
