I think back in 2019 the deluxe drink package was $18 for a short time on several cruises. Someone may recall it better than I can since I didn’t see that price for any cruises I had booked at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beauty1492 Posted September 20 #79 Share Posted September 20 We r on Adventure of seas first ship back to Haiti. Hope we at least dock so we can see the port. And stretch our legs. We already planned to stay on ship and watch the afternoon movie...but if we end up somewhere else not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RW_MI Posted September 20 #80 Share Posted September 20 Updated Haiti travel advisory.

Do not travel to Haiti due to kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and limited health care." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are both right, it happened in 2019 for cruises scheduled for 2020 and it was $18 per day, I bought it for my 9 day cruise that didn't happen.

If militants wanted to overrun the island and possibly take hostages, they would certainly head for the ship, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pushing 76, and I can't remember a time when it wasn't like this. And I go all the way back to Papa Doc Duvalier's reign from the late 50's into the early 70's👴 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RW_MI Posted September 20 #85 Share Posted September 20 Good to have your perspectives. Since it was an updated advisory, I thought it might be due to "new" happenings. Sounds like it isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted September 20 #86 Share Posted September 20 5 hours ago, smokeybandit said: So basically the same as Haiti has been for the last 20 years. Haiti is a failed state and basket case. President was assassinated. National police is on the run from armed gangs. Law and order don't exist. Central government exists mostly in name only. Many basic services are barely functioning if at all. These are all facts. And yet you and a few others keep insisting the country is safe to visit. Why? Because Labadee is untouchable? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same reason no one bats an eye at visiting Roatan, despite Honduras being quite unsafe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karena1 Posted September 21 #91 Share Posted September 21 Cannot wait to go back to Labadee in early Dec. Our July and Sept were canceled, so really excited to be able to go back in Dec. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on a B3B on Adventure departing on 9/27 and returning on 10/19. Our Labadee stop is on 10/8 on the 6 night middle leg. So far RCL has modified the port schedule on our last leg (10/11-10/19) twice so they have had numerous opportunities to adjust the middle leg if they felt there were any issues that would make Labadee unsafe for us.

SUgwoz Posted Sunday at 02:58 PM #97 Share Posted Sunday at 02:58 PM Can see both sides of this. If there is a contingent looking to make their cause known and grab attention for something that has been languishing for years, going after a cruise ship will garner world attention and an immediate response from outside nations (well hopefully so for those on the cruise). Odds of something is very remote, but if something does happen it will be catastrophic for all involved. It's a risk/reward situation. Which I think both are on the lower end of the scales. My itinerary is going to Labadee in December. Been there twice, no issue if it's missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
