Notices went out Friday, Oct 30. Nine ships and 44 itineraries lose their Labadee call and get Nassau, Grand Turk, Cozumel, San Juan, Costa Maya or a sea day instead. Prepaid Labadee shore excursions are refunded automatically. Royal Caribbean has run Labadee since 1988, and no guest has been there since early 2025. The reason is gang violence in Haiti, where the US State Department advisory is Level 4: Do Not Travel. Smart call, or should Royal Caribbean give up on Labadee for good? Tell me in the comments.
