⚠️ Some of the most popular cruise ports in the Caribbean and Mexico carry active US State Department travel advisories in 2026 — including two at Level 4: Do Not Travel. Your cruise line won't always brief you on this before you dock. We will. In this video, Cruise Compendium ranks 7 of the most frequently visited cruise ports from risky to the highest warning level that exists — covering Nassau (Bahamas), Belize City, Montego Bay (Jamaica), Roatán (Honduras), Colón (Panama), Acapulco (Mexico), and Labadee (Haiti). For each port we cover the current advisory level, the specific risks on the ground in 2026, and exactly how to handle a port stop safely — whether that means booking smart, staying onboard, or knowing where the line is between the tourist zone and somewhere you should not be. This is not here to scare you away from cruising. Cruising remains one of the safest ways to travel. This is here to make sure you are one of the passengers who boards informed.
