Labadee is RCI's private island. The last time I went was in 99 but I remember there were quite a few things to do. The snorkeling is quite good there - a variety of fish to see (but do be careful of the jelly fish) and a couple of sunken tanks and planes. There used to a small life guard station set up in the middle of the bay where they would throw fish food into the water to attract fish - be prepared to be "kissed" by tons of fish!
I also booked the seadoing excursion which was amazing! They take you to another part of the island to a secluded beach where you can hang out for 5 - 10 minues (gorgeous white sands and clear water), and they take you along the shore to see a local village. The excursion was only 45 mins but worth it!

As for Cozumel, there is a lot of shopping but it's all the typical tourist stuff - necklaces, t-shirts, alcohol. If you like to party check out Senor Frogs (a party no matter what time of the day it is). And if you're interested in getting your hair braided it's very cheap in Cozumel (you can get your braided for around $10 and they do an amazing job). My brother did scuba diving in Cozumel and said the water was beautiful!!!

Hope the info helps. Have a wonderinful time on your cruise!
