Overview

  • MIAMI, USA (CMC) — Royal Caribbean has confirmed the cancellation of the visit of the

    Freedom of the Seas to Haiti on Tuesday, saying the 3,634-passenger ship had encountered a number of Haitian nationals in small boats staging a protest.

    “Although this protest was peaceful in nature, it was clear that if the protest continued there would be a significant impact on our guests’ ability to enjoy Labadee,” the cruise line said in a statement.
