  1. The Governments of Canada and the United States have issued advisories against travel to Haiti:

    What does RCI normally do in this case? I can't imagine they'd go anyway. Do they do an extra day at sea or is there somewhere else they'd go?

     



    Do not travel to Haiti due to crime and civil unrest.

    There are currently widespread, violent, and unpredictable demonstrations in Port-au-Prince and elsewhere in Haiti.  Due to these demonstrations, on February 14, 2019, the Department of State ordered the departure of all non-emergency U.S. personnel and their family members. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in Haiti.

    Protests, tire burning, and road blockages are frequent and unpredictable.  Violent crime, such as armed robbery, is common. Local police may lack the resources to respond effectively to serious criminal incidents, and emergency response, including ambulance service, is limited or non-existent.

    Travelers are sometimes targeted, followed, and violently attacked and robbed shortly after leaving the Port-au-Prince international airport. The U.S. Embassy requires its personnel to use official transportation to and from the airport, and it takes steps to detect surveillance and deter criminal attacks during these transports.

     



    Avoid all travel to Haiti due to civil unrest throughout the country. The security situation could further deteriorate quickly. You should consider leaving by commercial means while they are available.

     

    Violent protests have been taking place across the country since February 7, 2019.

    Burning barricades are disrupting traffic in the main streets of Port-au-Prince. Access to the Toussaint Louverture International Airport is difficult and could be blocked without notice. Clashes, sometimes involving the use of firearms, have resulted in casualties.

    Limit your movements
    Avoid large gatherings
    Avoid crossing road blockades, even if they appear unattended
    Plan to have adequate water and food supplies
    Contact your airline or tour operator to determine if the situation will disrupt your travel plans

     

  2. We much prefer the bed by the balcony, I think the room seems bigger that way and less conjested. We also had the bed by the closet on Oasis and it was a pain to get anything in/out of the closet with the bed right there. Always prefer that the bed is over by the balcony, just makes it easier to get around the cabin in my opinion

     

    I completely agree. We also had a bed by the closet on Oasis and found it really annoying. Bed by the balcony makes the room feel more open to us.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist. Royal Caribbean docks at the International Pier. In this picture the Freedom OTS was a little camera shy, and was hiding behind its little sister, the Grandeur OTS ...

    This time, I can't resist: if Freedom is hiding behind Grandeur in that picture, where is Grandeur hiding? :p
