Royal Caribbean resumes service to Haiti

Royal Caribbean has resumed its service to Haiti after the cruise line has suspended port calls to the country because of the protest and violence linked to political unrest in recent months.

Royal Caribbean Spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez said  the Miami-based cruise line has been communicating with Haitian officials and is satisfied that it is safe to resume port calls.

She said Royal Caribbean Cruise Line is now “comfortable that there will not be any significant impact” on passengers.

Martinez said that another of its ships the “Allure of the Seas” called into Labadee on Tuesday.

Over the last weekend, the company said its “Vision of the Seas” had skipped its scheduled stop at Labadee because of  the situation in Haiti.
