Labadee Cruise Port: Royal Caribbean Calls Are Paused

Where these numbers come from

This page is a status note, not a cost guide. Royal Caribbean has paused its ships' calls at its private destination at Labadee, Haiti. According to a July 22, 2026 report from Cruise Industry News, the line cancelled visits through June 2027, extending an earlier pause that ran through late 2026. We found no current cruise-line costs for the stop, so there are no excursion prices or beach-day figures to publish here.

The reason the line gave was the safety and well-being of guests and crew, in connection with security concerns in Haiti. The report says passenger accounts show cancelled Labadee days being replaced with other stops, including Nassau, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. The report did not list specific ships, so check your own booking for what applies to your sailing.

What should you do if you are booked on a Caribbean cruise that once listed Labadee? Look at your itinerary in the cruise line's app or confirmation. If a day has been changed, the new port will be shown there. Then rebuild your shore budget for the substitute. For example, a day at Nassau can use the Nassau page, a Grand Cayman day can use Grand Cayman, and a Cozumel day can use Cozumel.

Use the cruise excursion budget calculator to total the new port days. The math is simple: add each port's excursion cost per person, multiply by the number of people, and include any transport to town. A replaced stop can cost more or less than the original, so redo the total rather than assuming it is the same.

Private destination calls are the cruise line's decision and can change at any time. If you booked mainly for a beach day, read your cruise line's guest notices and ask whether any compensation, refund or onboard credit applies to your sailing, since policies differ by booking and line. Keep copies of any message you receive about the change. Until the line announces that visits are back, there is nothing to price at Labadee. We will update this page with dated figures if the line resumes calls and publishes costs.
