What's going on with Labadee with the restart?

Today's earthquake will probably extend any delays. I wonder if RC will send one of its offline ships there for support efforts

They still haven't canceled our Labadee stop on the Oct 24 Allure sailing.  This might be the straw that pushes them to do so.

This time, it's going to be tricky for Royal.  There's the unrest and the kidnappings.  Hopefully, these activities will be put on hold as Haiti recovers from the earthquake but it's iffy nonetheless.

Sad thing is the earthquake devastation is so much higher than it should be in Haiti due to poor construction codes. Compared to their Dominican Republic neighbor, the Haitian people needlessly suffer due to their banana republic "government". Prayers sent to those poor people.

Plus the need to get island employees vaccinated in the country that has likely the lowest vaccination rate in the Caribbean

We are on Odyssey for the Nov 3rd sailing with a stop in Labadee on day 3 of a 4 night cruise. I have heard nothing as of yet.  I am wondering though what they would change this stop up with since it is the only stop on the cruise.  Any ideas?

Correction.  The trip is on Oasis.  I had my cruises mixed up.

I received an email last week that the 24 Oct Allure sailing lost both the Labadee and Jamaica ports of call.  Replaced with Cozumel and Costa Maya.

I guess I may receive a similar email soon then.  Thanks for the update.

We are on the same cruise. I'm wondering if the stop will be replaced by Perfect Day or Nassau (hopefully Perfect Day.)

I started a Roll Call message for anyone on Oasis Nov 3rd cruise.  Check it out.  Right now I believe there are 4 or 5 of us on that sailing.

For early September and Odyssey's 9/5 sailing, it doesn't look good to get CocoCay added.  Cococay is pretty full.  They already have overcommitted 9/7 to 3 ships at CocoCay.

 

9/5 - Freedom

9/5 - Mariner

9/6 - Adventure

9/7 - Adventure

9/7 - Brilliance

9/7 - Freedom

9/8 - Oasis

9/9 - Freedom

9/9 - Mariner

9/10 - Symphony

9/11 - Allure

9/12 - Freedom

 

Is there a second private island development in work?  I know they're planning to expand PDCC, wondering if there's another location too.

There were rumors in the western Caribbean but the pandemic appears to have stopped those rumors.
