This is a subject that can be argued in many different ways but Royall Caribbean has decided, in spite of the earthquake that hit there, they will continue to port in Labadee, Haiti. There reasons are two fold and I think they are very valid reasons.
First of all, they have added extra supplies of water and food to leave in Haiti for Humanitarian relief and by still going into port will still support the local economy, which as one of the poorest countries in the world needs support even more now. Plus they have announced that they will donate $1 million dollars to the relief effort in Haiti.
I believe, that if passengers are not comfortable visiting this port right now while they try to rebuild after their countries devastating earthquake they can ask to rebook on an alternate cruise or stay on the ship. The cruise terminal is located on the opposite side of the island and was not damaged by the quake. By Royal Caribbean continuing to support the economy by still stopping at their port is very helpful overall. I am sure that if there were any dangers at all, they would consider all options to keep everyone safe and still extend their hand in support.
Believe it or not, by going into port in Haiti, they are doing more good than harm!
