Labadee

[hladygirl]

Is there anyway that I could disembark at labadee,Haiti port and stay in Haiti?

[BND]

No. It's not an official port of entry.

Labadee is an enclosed area. There is no access permitted at all to the mainland.

 

On Freedom last month there was a group of Norwegians whose luggage was lost en route by the airline. They had to wait for the subsequent port, Jamaica, for it to be returned to them.

No way/ No how..:eek::eek:

No. It is part of the Jones Act. If you get on at a US port you need to get off in a US port or the cruise line faces a fine.

People can request partial cruises..... but not via Labadee....afaik.

Not so, otherwise there wouldn't be any transatlantics or repositioning.

First, it's not the Jones Act, which governs cargo. The applicable law for passenger transportation is the Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA).

 

Second, the PVSA says nothing of the sort. PVSA prohibits foreign flagged cruise ships from transporting passengers from one US port to a different US port, unless the ship makes a port call at a distant foreign port. No port in North America, Central America, the Bahamas, Bermuda or the Caribbean, with the exception of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao , are distant foreign ports under PVSA regulations.

 

A foreign flagged cruise ship is always permitted to transport passengers from any US port to any foreign port, or from any foreign port to any US port, because PVSA only governs the transportation of passengers from one US port to another US port.

 

US Customs and Border Protection documents and explains the PVSA in this publication: http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/trade/legal/informed_compliance_pubs/pvsa_icp.ctt/pvsa_icp.pdf

Cunard must be facing a lot of fines for those one way crossings on the QM II! :rolleyes:

Where's you read that one, LOL.

How might you explain reposition cruises to Europe?

[ehfl]

While they can't legally force you to get back on the ship against your will, there would be no easy, safe, or legal way to enter the rest of Haiti. Unlike with ports of entry, if you want to visit Haiti, getting their by cruise ship would not be an appropriate way of doing so.

Simple answer is, No.
