CruisinRoxy Posted May 23 #1 Share Posted May 23 I just got an email from Celebrity advising us that they are switching out Labadee Haiti for Nassau. On our Apex sailing next February. Not thrilled about Nassau and we have been there many times. But that’s not the point, we can always make it a ship day. But does anyone know any further information about Labadee? Given the unrest in Haiti, which I have not been following. It’s more than 6 months from now, so it must not be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaveitallbehind Posted May 23 #5 Share Posted May 23 (edited) Labadee has been cancelled as a port of call for some time now due to the unrest in Haiti. Both RCCL, and now Celebrity, have been rescheduling itineraries around Haiti for a while. Hard to predict for sure when it will be rescheduled. Typically Turks & Caicos, Jamaica, and ports of call in the Dominican Republic have been the alternatives.

Mine on March Eclipse the same, added a sea day (yay) and also added Nassau, would have much preferred another sea day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lena11033 Posted May 23 #8 Share Posted May 23 Ha I have a cruise for this December that's supposed to be in Haiti but no email yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted May 23 #9 Share Posted May 23 I just got the email for my November cruise--we're going to Turks & Caicos instead. Not fond of that, but it is what it is. I'm sorry for the poor locals who were able to earn some income at Labadee. I wonder if Haiti will ever manage to rid itself of all the crooks and charlatans who have been running it into the ground forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straughn Posted May 23 #10 Share Posted May 23 My TA just forwarded the email she received from Celebrity. My 1/25/2025 Equinox cruise has been changed from Labadee to Nassau. I am trying to contain my enthusiasm for the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll trade you Nassau for Turks & Caicos! 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't sure if DR was recently added but if Labadee was originally the day before DR then it is now a sea day with CocoCay the day before that.

I think they moved it around, after Key west I think originally it was a sea day then Haiti then DR. Now it looks like Key West, CocoCay, Sea day then DR. I didn't notice the sea day originally being switched - too busy reading the 'we've changed your return flight home' email 🙃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you don’t get off the ship it is effectively a sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare garyl62 Posted May 23 #19 Share Posted May 23 On our March 23, 2024 Ascent sailing Labadee was changed to Falmouth, Jamaica. We've never been there so will look into options on land, although the port times are 7:00 - 3:00 and it's a tender port. This is already a "stay on board" trip as we have 3 sea days, Grand Cayman and Nassau as the other ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I realized I had mis-read the notice from Celebrity. The new itinerary listed each day and included the information that Grand Cayman was a tender port. I just skipped over "Grand Cayman" and assumed all the information included was about Falmouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
