Following the cancellations which began in March 2024 due to the violent unrest in Haiti, Royal Caribbean which had previously canceled its stops in Labadee until the end of May 2024 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-41883-haiti-tourism-royal-caribbean-temporarily-suspends-all-stopovers-in-haiti.html , now announces that stopovers in Haiti are canceled until September 2024.

Guests with cruises booked in the summer and early fall are receiving notifications from Royal Caribbean that their visits to Labadie have been canceled.

Following cancellations that began in March due to violent unrest in Haiti, the cruise line was forced to cancel more cruises through September 2024.

On Tuesday, cruise ships began sharing updates they received from Royal Caribbean indicating that their itineraries have been updated to avoid Labadie in Haiti and replace it with another port or a day at sea.

In most cases, ships are redirected to Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands.

For example, the "Adventure of the Seas" cruise on September 21 saw its visit to Labadie replaced by a visit to Grand Turk.

"Due to the continuing situation in Haiti, we'll now visit Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos, instead of Labadee, Haiti" indicates an email to booked passengers. "We're sorry for the change - your safety is our top priority."

Similar emails have been sent to customers who have booked cruises with scheduled stops in Labadee throughout summer 2024.

Guests who have booked shore excursions for their visit to Labadie will automatically receive a refund to their onboard account.

The cancellations affect cruise ships : "Adventure of the Sea", "Independence of the Seas", "Liberty of the Seas", "Freedom of the Seas" and "Symphony of the Seas", which were scheduled to visit Labadee this summer.

Should be noted that no other cruise lines sail to Haiti.
