The Labadee cancellations are moving much further than May... just got this for my Adventure sailing in August! Understandable but sad as I was pumped to visit both private destinations in a single sailing!

Advrnture seems to be the only ship so far.  I find that odd.   

[The Grumpus]

Wow, all the way through September.  I haven't been keeping up with recent Haitian events since the takeover but clearly Royal must believe Labadee is a lost stop for the foreseeable future.

Just saw on a FB page that Adventure of the Seas pulled into Labadee at midnight one night and delivered supplies. The supplies might be for the people living there?

Yes. They've been doing humanitarian stuff, especially fuel for generators.

Am I the only one that finds this odd that with everything that is going on  and the decisions that have been made , that Royal is making middle of the night stops with thousands of passengers aboard .... (Assuming this is actually true) .Especially in light of all the talk about Travel insurance policies possibly even becoming invalid due to this ... Seems Risky

RC never stopped due to safety concerns. They stopped due to PR concerns.

Plus since the ship wouldn't have been cleared for passengers to disembark, the ship technically was never there.

I’m waiting to book also!

Still waiting to see what they will do for our July 4th Indy cruise.  Only stop was Labadee, so waiting to see where we will end up going.  Just hope it is not Nassau, really don't care if they take us anywhere else.  Would love Puerto Plata or Cozumel, but will see what they decide to do.

I was on the first cruise affected by the change back in March. We had Labadee in the cruise planner until pretty much the first day of the cruise. 

But don't sweat it. There won't be many excursion options since it's a tiny island.

I wonder when they will modify the November sailings. I am on the Independence on the 4 day that only goes to Labadee. I am hoping it goes to Puerto Plata. Been to grand turk plenty times on carnival

The August 15 sailing of Liberty of the Seas is now swapping Turks/Caicos for Labadee.

Just asked a question about this in a new thread. How long does it take to show excursions for the new stop in the planner?

I think it will take a week or so for the planner to update.  Maybe longer seeing that they have to make accomodations for each and every changed sailing.

Nice itinerary but too bad not more time in Bermuda. That isn't really enough time considering the Dockyard is not centrally located at all. We found plenty to fill up the 3.5 days that we were there.

I look forward to spending a few hours in Hamilton.  I also enjoy the bus ride there and back.

That's very subjective , but either way for the thousands of passengers ( half of which probably don't want to be anywhere near ) , the PR issue still stands . And also frome my understanding , whether anyone actually gets off the ship or not , as soon as lines are thrown , they are technically in Haiti ...

Another cancellation

And Independence is also cancelling for September.

One's travel insurance fine print is of no concern to Royal; but i highly doubt this type of stop would invalidate anything

They also canceled Labadee on our August 11th Freedom cruise

I thought a ship is considered to be in a country when it is within 12 nautical miles of that country.

They're canceling everything through September

[#1packerfan]

September 8th Freedom, Labadee replaced with Nassau.  Was hoping for Grand Turks or Puerto Plata but will make the best of it. 

[Harrisonkid]

Did see a Nassau Beach club being built...so im guess more Nassau stops in the future for all of us
