Yep, it happens pretty regular. Violate the law you get thrown in jail - unless you are on a cruise ship and then they just leave you behind

Unless it's really bad they have been warned at least once prior to the cut.

I've seen it a few times.

I doubt that you would be kicked off at labadee, or Coco Cay for that matter.

Labadee is an area that is completely cutoff from the rest of the area around it, with no easy access to an airport. I highly doubt they were kicked off at Labadee. More likely they were confined to their rooms.

The infraction must have been significant to get kicked off the ship at Royal Caribbean's private resort... How close is the nearest airport? somehow I'm incredulous...

That is exactly what I was thinking, how could they dump off passengers in an area that has very little tourist infrastructure and a less then stellar reputation (hence the wall around the compound). I couldn't even imagine the ramifications if the people involved got hurt while on the island. I suspect the Captain was using it as a scare tactic to others that they were having problems with.

We had a gentleman kicked off the ship in Portugal for getting in an argument with an RCI employee in the Casino. He was also a MM member, so it does happen.

Why would the Captain make an announcement about kicking someone off the ship to begin with?

There is no way that someone could get kicked off the ship in Labadee. Labadee is part of Haiti, and they could get in a lot of trouble for kicking them off there with no way to get home. It is VERY dangerous outside the walls of RCI's private area. That is why no one is allowed outside those walls. A captain would not kick someone off the ship there, with no airport, no hotels, etc. Especially with children!!!

They are not kicking you off, they are just refusing you boarding privledges.

I really doubt they can get in trouble for refusing to allow someone to continue to sail.

People can board off/on from Labadee. I have worked on-board for RCCL and it happens and usually during Thanksgiving week and December. A lot of kids are sailing during the holiday break and there are a couple of weeks that are notorious for have the most amount of kids and just relatively selfish people that do not control themselves or their families. And their are captains that will make it clear what the consequences would be and if someone were to be "asked to leave" I know captains that would gladly make the announcement to let other passengers know--sort of a warning to any future behavior.

Default why not?

I don't see why they couldn't "land" someone at Labadee. Don't the locals who work there have to get home each night? Seems there must be a way to get home from there since it is not really an island unto itself like Coco Cay. Just thinking out loud
