Yep, it happens pretty regular. Violate the law you get thrown in jail - unless you are on a cruise ship and then they just leave you behind :p Unless it's really bad they have been warned at least once prior to the cut. I've seen it a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrp96 Posted November 25, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Captain Himself Made Annoncement About Labadee!! Labadee is an area that is completely cutoff from the rest of the area around it, with no easy access to an airport. I highly doubt they were kicked off at Labadee. More likely they were confined to their rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsluvr Posted November 25, 2007 #6 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Captain Himself Made Annoncement About Labadee!! The infraction must have been significant to get kicked off the ship at Royal Caribbean's private resort... How close is the nearest airport? somehow I'm incredulous... :cool: LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue L Posted November 25, 2007 #9 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Labadee is an area that is completely cutoff from the rest of the area around it, with no easy access to an airport. I highly doubt they were kicked off at Labadee. More likely they were confined to their rooms. That is exactly what I was thinking, how could they dump off passengers in an area that has very little tourist infrastructure and a less then stellar reputation (hence the wall around the compound). I couldn't even imagine the ramifications if the people involved got hurt while on the island. I suspect the Captain was using it as a scare tactic to others that they were having problems with.

charlesjoy Posted November 25, 2007 #10 Share Posted November 25, 2007 We had a gentleman kicked off the ship in Portugal for getting in an argument with an RCI employee in the Casino. He was also a MM member, so it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FitzLA Posted November 25, 2007 #15 Share Posted November 25, 2007 There is no way that someone could get kicked off the ship in Labadee. Labadee is part of Haiti, and they could get in a lot of trouble for kicking them off there with no way to get home. It is VERY dangerous outside the walls of RCI's private area. That is why no one is allowed outside those walls. A captain would not kick someone off the ship there, with no airport, no hotels, etc. Especially with children!!!

early 30's couple Posted November 25, 2007 #16 Share Posted November 25, 2007 They are not kicking you off, they are just refusing you boarding privledges. I really doubt they can get in trouble for refusing to allow someone to continue to sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise_bunny Posted November 25, 2007 #19 Share Posted November 25, 2007 People can board off/on from Labadee. I have worked on-board for RCCL and it happens and usually during Thanksgiving week and December. A lot of kids are sailing during the holiday break and there are a couple of weeks that are notorious for have the most amount of kids and just relatively selfish people that do not control themselves or their families. And their are captains that will make it clear what the consequences would be and if someone were to be "asked to leave" I know captains that would gladly make the announcement to let other passengers know--sort of a warning to any future behavior.

OhJoy Posted November 26, 2007 #20 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I don't see why they couldn't "land" someone at Labadee. Don't the locals who work there have to get home each night? Seems there must be a way to get home from there since it is not really an island unto itself like Coco Cay. Just thinking out loud :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoreCruisesNow Posted November 26, 2007 #21 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I don't care whether you worked on the ships or not, people CANNOT embark or disembark from Labadee. The qualification there is that if you are willing to sign all sorts of waivers prior to going through the fence they'll let you into Haiti proper, but they won't let you back through.

DTMandM Posted November 26, 2007 #22 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Watched individuals being escorted to tender and the tender left the Labadee area and sailed around the point. What exactly happened after that point I am not sure. But I am sure the family was removed from the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demodawn Posted November 26, 2007 #23 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I am wondering if any of you have ever been in Haiti beside labadee????? We have been the second largest city is just 15 miles from the beach, with a major airport which we went back and forth to the US many times! It would be VERY easy for the company to have someone taken to the airport and flown home. I lived in cape haitian ( the nearest city) with our 3 small kids for 8 years, never had a problem. Dont believe all you read and we went to labadee every sat and we also were there on the days the ship was there so people do go in and out.
