We have gone there several times with the kids. Last time we rented wave runners and rode double which was not that expensive for four. It was lots of fun. We rented as soon as we got to shore, but I would not chance that. It worked that day . . . Anyhow, my kids like to rent a floating mat and paddle around. The snorkeling there is average. Equipment is available for rental (on your ship's pass card) and I would not think you would have to arrange that in advance and could wing it if you wanted to go. We snorkeled the first time we went there, and it was good practice for our snorkeling/stingray city tour later in the week at Grand Cayman. Everyone was really comfortable and confident to see the really good snorkeling sites. We love Labadee--it is just a really laid back beach day. The waverunners are follow-the-leader. The waves were pretty big that day and suffice it to say my husband could not use his legs much for shock absorption with a 70 lb. child sitting behind him holding onto him. He got slammed around a bit. We girls on the other machine had better luck. You must be 18 to drive and have a valid driver's license. You view a safety operating instruction video first. We have never played in any of the toy areas or slides, sorry. My kids are thrilled just to be in the ocean and we economized on this.

[QUOTE="spoheating, post: 1177035"] We have gone there several times with the kids. Last time we rented wave runners and rode double which was not that expensive for four. It was lots of fun. We rented as soon as we got to shore, but I would not chance that. It worked that day . . . Anyhow, my kids like to rent a floating mat and paddle around. The snorkeling there is average. Equipment is available for rental (on your ship's pass card) and I would not think you would have to arrange that in advance and could wing it if you wanted to go. We snorkeled the first time we went there, and it was good practice for our snorkeling/stingray city tour later in the week at Grand Cayman. Everyone was really comfortable and confident to see the really good snorkeling sites. We love Labadee--it is just a really laid back beach day. The waverunners are follow-the-leader. The waves were pretty big that day and suffice it to say my husband could not use his legs much for shock absorption with a 70 lb. child sitting behind him holding onto him. He got slammed around a bit. We girls on the other machine had better luck. You must be 18 to drive and have a valid driver's license. You view a safety operating instruction video first. We have never played in any of the toy areas or slides, sorry. My kids are thrilled just to be in the ocean and we economized on this. [/QUOTE]
