Many reports of safety concerns in Haiti have been centered around the capital of Port-au-Prince, which is more than six hours away from Labadee by car. However, State Department travel advisories have listed the entire country as Level 4 – Do Not Travel for over a year “due to kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and limited health care.”

Royal Caribbean is cancelling visits to Labadee, Haiti, for multiple cruise ships due to worsening unrest in the country.

Although many Caribbean islands are extremely safe to visit, that isn’t the case for all of them. In fact, there are generally at least a few Caribbean islands that are under U.S. travel advisories at any given time.
