Voyager and Labadee and Dom Republi quesses

[Wetmib]

I know Labadee is still off the itinerary, and with the DR being the same island..where do you think a 5 day Voyageur this fall will go?

You'd be pretty limited since it's only a 5 nighter. If they extend the Labadee cancellations again, you're probably either Turks and Caicos or a Bahamas stop.

Just to clarify, although the Dominican Republic and Haiti are both part of the same island, the island is very large and they are two separate countries with two separate governments.  None of the issues currently involved with Haiti have anything to do with, or have any effect on, the Dominican Republic. 

 

While Labadee may still be missed and likely replaced with Grand Turk or a sea day, if a cruise ship's itinerary also has a port of call in the Dominican Republic, there is no reason that call will be changed based on anything happening in Haiti.  The ports of call typically scheduled in the Dominican Republic are more than 200 miles from the border with Haiti, and the border is secure.

They could also stop at Puerto Plata in the DR.

I'm on the Symphony Thanksgiving week...assuming Labadee is still a no-go I hope we go to Grand Turk as I've never been.  I've been to the DR 6 or 7 times...

RCCL Voyager has 5 night itineraries commencing late November that have Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, and Labadee as its' port of calls.  My guess would be that Grand Turk would replace Labadee and Puerto Plata would remain.
