Agreed.

Then they shouldn't be cruising. Cruising is expensive these days on RCCL.

You sound fun to be around.

Agreed. Tired of the nickel and diming. With the price of cruises these days, better TV channels seems pretty simple to accomplish without being too costly. I mention this every time in the after cruise survey. I wish others would do the same.

Of course it does but it shouldn't be that much more to show US channels. Seems like RCCL is being cheap with the channel selections. Other cruise lines have US channels.

I also never understood for cruises sailing out of the US, why half or more of the channels were foreign. With mostly US passengers, shouldn't the channels be US based?

Completely agree. Prior to streaming, there was an excuse. But now? They are just being cheap.

I had the same experience in Santorini with the Key. People were also complaining about 2-3 hour waits. If going to Santorini, the Key is a must.

If they weren’t in any danger, RCCL wouldn’t have just cancelled excursions 2 hours ago. But like I said, you do you. I am done talking on this topic.

This isn’t misinformation. The 36 minutes isn’t even the nearest point of the closest big city Cap Haitien.

Exactly. Don’t believe me either. Do your own research. Everything is public information. Come to your own conclusions.

Folks do your research. It’s clear a lot of the posters in here have an agenda. Cap Haitien is not immune to the unrest and is only 30 minutes away from Labadee which is not as isolated as they would have you believe. Google it. Do your own research and don’t believe anyone in here and come to your own conclusions.

Check google maps. Legit 30 minute drive.

Now you sound like a travel agent or someone in the industry which I wouldn't doubt.

Ok. We can stop going back and forth now. You aren't changing my mind and I am not changing yours. Like I said, I wish you and everyone that goes there a WONDERFUL TRIP. I have no ill-will towards you. Most likely, nothing will happen. I just refuse to put my family in that situation when our Government says not to go.

This is a false rumor that has spread over the years. Labadee is a 35 minute drive from the large city of Cap-Haitien. It is not some isolated place like many say it is.

Hurt the local economy? Get out of here. Criminals are taking everything from the citizens of Haiti as we speak. Like I said earlier. You do you. I'll do what's best for my family whose safety is my top priority. Enjoy your trip to Haiti. I seriously do hope you have a great uneventful trip.

Like I said, you do you. Miami is not overrun by criminals. There is not an insurrection happening in Miami. The government of Haiti has just recently been taken over by legit criminals. That wasn't the case in July 2023. Not sure why you are stuck on that. Haiti is currently a country being ransacked by criminals and gangs. That wasn't the case in July 2023 no matter how you want to spin it.

It has just recently boiled over. This clearly is not a good situation currently unfolding in Haiti. To have tourists in the country enjoying themselves while the rest of the country is being overrun by criminals is, to me, disgraceful to the decent people of Haiti under siege at the moment. Pretty disgusting actually.

These are the do not go travel advisories. Haiti is the only place RCCL goes to currently. Again, just because something has thankfully not happened DOES NOT mean it won't. And if the USA is telling its citizens NOT TO GO, do you really feel confident that will safely have you returned if something happens after being warned? I don't. Again, you guys do what you want. We are all free to do so. I choose not to go to Haiti. I do understand why you feel like you do. You aren't alone. Many people feel like you do. But for me and my family, no way when there are sooooo many other wonderful options.

Those other travel advisories aren't "DO NOT GO" travel advisories.

Nobody is 100% safe anywhere anymore. Always be wary of your surroundings. Certainly not safe in Haiti at the moment. Realistic you say? When something happens to people like you, your first reaction is always, I never thought that could happen to me. Haiti is a different country than ours. If the criminals decide to take hostages, the security force isn't going to stop them. I just prefer to not risk something that is so very easily avoidable. But you do you.

Exactly. Why even risk it? Is it really worth it? Just go to another port until things are under control. Our own government says to avoid Haiti but RCCL says otherwise? Really???

Oh you think you are safe on a ship docked in Haiti? People really are naïve

Uhhh, Americans are a target. And if they decide they want to take hostages in Labadee, they will easily take hostages in Labadee. The security force isn't going to stop them.
