Dominican Republic port

[Carol28]

We are on the Explorer in April and stop in the DR. Because of the issues happening in Haiti, I'm wondering if RCCL is going to cancel this port?

RCI hasn't canceled any stop in Haiti so one can assume they won't cancel one in another country.

How long until the UK insurance thread starts?

The DR is currently refusing to allow the prime minister of Haiti to land in their country because they don't want to get involved.  You can keep an eye on the very long thread in Labadee since RC would probably start canceling that port first (they've done that in the past when the violence in the county is deemed too dangerous to dock).  Hopefully, you will be okay.  

 

There was.a whole mess of NCL cancelling the DR for nearly a year after running a ship aground there, and not notifying passengers before final payment.  I found out from the private vendors I contacted in the DR that I might not be docking.  They all offered a full refund if the ship doesn't dock, so you can arrange a private excursion there without additional risk.  Good luck.
