    Even without the warlords and criminals, Haiti was the worst destination. The local vendors cajole and grab at you to get you to “See what I have made.” After barely a few minutes of that, we headed for the RC bar where we paid the same prices as on the boat. After barely a few minutes of that, we headed back to the ship. We might just stay on the boat this time.

    I'd probably pay to ride the alpine coaster again; that was a lot of fun. Nearest one to me is 250 miles away at Dollywood.
    Otherwise there's not much there, but I'd be sure to avoid the "Vendor's Alley" section this time.

    Sounds like things are getting worser and worser in Haiti. Maybe we should pick a different destination.

    Haiti is part of the upcoming travel ban as well. It's only for Hatian nationals as far as I know so I don't think it would affect US citizens on broad but could cause at least a headache for any foreign nationals traveling back to the US from Labadee. I'm way too detached and.... tired of it all to bother with a deep dive to see so take all this for what it's worth.

    Cap-Haïtien, mentioned in that article is close to Labadee, for anyone needing a geographic point of reference.
    I should get around to updating my signature

    Yep. About 5 miles.

    Honestly, the port is the last thing I'd be worried about at this point. RC and 70K pay way too much money in liability insurance to do anything that's going to get those policies cancelled. If they need to change port, they will. The uncertainty of travel situations for bands and survivors would be a much higher concern for me (if there was any chance I could make 2026). There's just so many things in play between now and then.
