Royal Caribbean Is Temporarily Canceling Trips to This Caribbean Destination Citing 'Abundance of Caution'
Briefly

Royal Caribbean has made the decision to temporarily suspend stops at its private beach resort Labadee in Haiti, citing escalating gang violence and political instability. Previously a popular destination for cruise travelers, Labadee offers families various attractions, but safety remains a priority. The U.S. Department of State rates Haiti with a Level 4 travel advisory, warning against travel due to kidnapping, crime, and limited healthcare, indicating a significant risk for travelers. The future of Labadee as a cruise destination remains uncertain.
The U.S. government is very limited in its ability to help U.S. citizens in Haiti. Local police often lack the resources to respond to emergencies.
Out of an abundance of caution, we have temporarily paused our upcoming visits to Labadee. We have already communicated with guests directly.
