It is safe

but only because they use armed guards and ppl are forbidden from exiting the patrolled area

I have a REAL problem with two parts of the 'article'

a) contiguous or no Labadie is part of HAITI and Hispaniola is only referenced to distance stupid tourists from that fact

b) "Labadee (also Labadie)" there is no "also" occurring here. The cruise line has TRADEMARKED the made up word Labadee and they have 'special' drinks paired with the nonsense word

I think that this article should be deleted as it's simply an advertisement in this state.

An encyclopedia would talk about this in far more objective terms and touch upon the issues with far more depth —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.8 (talk) 18:37, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Like it or not, the place is real, even if it's a tourist location. I hadn't heard of it so it had real value to me when I went on holliday. The important thing is to keep the information objective and not let someone from the cruise line guild it. Content issues can be corrected if the editors choose to do it. --MartinezMD (talk) 02:29, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Safe?

The usage of the term "safe" is a bit...odd Hrhadam (talk) 10:44, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Haiti isn't exactly known for it's politically stable environment. I suspect that was put in there by some person (or cruise line...) to reassure travelers. However, it doesn't seem egregious to leave it there for now.--MartinezMD (talk) 01:53, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Impenetrable Mountains"

Having been there, I can tell you there is a road there leading from Cap-Haïtien, but I can't find a reference to refute the one in the article. The locals make it there but are separated from the tourists by a fence and armed security. Anyone help me with a source? --MartinezMD (talk) 23:31, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

History & Location

I don't have details myself, but I think it would be better if this article's History section could be expanded with information about the area before it's lease to Royal Caribbean and about it's development into "Labadee", rather than just a list of incidents/events which have happened in recent years.

Also I've added another reference about the fact that many cruise ship guests (in the past at least) were apparently unaware that they were in Haiti - at least in part due to the fact that RCI seemed to have a policy of referring only to Hispaniola. ^[1] 95.150.59.152 (talk) 17:41, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
