Symphony of the Seas, Independence of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas have all had their upcoming Caribbean sailings changed to avoid Labadee.
Royal’s private resort Labadee – located 200 kilometres north of the Haitian capital – has been replaced with stop-offs in Jamaican port Falmouth, the line’s private island Perfect Day at CocoCay, Bimini, Philipsburg, or sea days.
A Royal spokesperson said the line would continue to monitor the situation on the ground and would communicate updates with customers directly.
The Foreign Office currently advises against all travel to Haiti because of gang-related violence in Port-au-Prince.
The US, meanwhile, has started to evacuate its citizens out of Haiti by helicopter.
