That port does not look that nice.

Nice food

Hi grand mother

Ghost

lmao at racist americans "they hate us!!! they would kill us!". literally the projection Carl Jung wrote about

‘Why not’ would be a far more pertinent question

We are in an alernate universe.

Then vs now: gangs have taken over. The gang leader known as “ barbecue” is now in control of the country as the Prime Minister is resigning due to all the rape, pillage, robbery, murder, and cannibalism. Haiti used to be a French colony back in the 1700s. It was once a prosperous and wealthy place for its sugarcane plantations. The Haitians killed every last white person and mixed person, and America has come in twice to rebuild this country. It has only gone downhill after America left for the second time. Labadee is a beautiful place because it is least by the Royal Caribbean. You were giving food to people from the company, and it wasn’t even yours to give. $12 per passenger of the royal Caribbean goes straight to the government, which goes right into the economy. Haiti is now one of the capitals of cannibalism because of the gangs. It’s only a matter of time before the gangs come to Labadee.

I really want to do this cruise. They way my heart is I would be giving them all the food and money I can 😢

Why are you starting problems in a country that is not yours ?

I would never go back there. I gave many of the locals the food. They needed it more than our group.

I don't see anything wrong with Royal leasing out land on a island for a private resort. They give people jobs, vendors, security guards, cooks and in turn help boost the economy and keep people off the street. There is no "exposing" going on here. A very silly video.

So stealing food and breaking the rules is okay? How about given them a few of your pounds. That security guard could have lost his job because of you and Royal Caribbean is at least giving jobs to people who desperately need them. If you want to help buy something from the vendors, tip the waiters but I think you just want your 10 min of fame!

Just remember that after the earthquake, a certain political party that was in power in the United States, sat on their hands and turned their backs on the people of Haiti…. The situation in the country now, is a direct result of that decision.

At the end of the day we are all humans. Why not help out the hungry, sadens me.

A major part of the problem is the world policy and politics again nations like Haiti over generations see ref France and US marine invasion a blind man can see why some of these conditions exist.

Daft video. What did you expect when you decided to take a LUXURY CRUISE to one of the poorest countries in the entire world ?

I didnt know this place was privatized. Its really sad. We re feeling so powerless. This country was so beautiful, i cant imagine how people manage to survive. Did you feel safe when you were here? Thanks for sharing. Take care.

As of right now, I am rethinking my destinations and booking on a royal Caribbean, because I cannot see myself supporting this destination

Same people arguing “is not MY problem” lack a belief in God

It’s their own government’s fault, not the tourist’s.

This dude is aggy. Why would you book a cruise to start trouble?! Go on a Mission trip and help. This is a vacation 😩.

On one side people are stuffed with too much food and on the other side people are begging for food.

The next time you want to do an humanitarian trip take the plane, land in Port au Prince and you will feel realised handing over all the money, food, medicine or whatever you want. But doing that in Labadee ressort the only thing you do is bother others guests and the security staff. Really I don't think that by giving a plate of chicken in this circumstances helps anyboby but only your ego.

Why not just fly there in plane.

Royal Caribbean is a billion dollar company trying to make Profits not care of their Fellow Man. Now the gentleman said before RC came along he had no job. I’m sure they do some to help but of course they could do more. That’s with Any business. And as for the guy filming. He didn’t go grab his wallet and give anyone his money he gave away food that was for the guest that paid to be there. Don’t get me wrong it always amazes me how you wanted to help but you didn’t access your personal funds.

Tourism is the bread and butter of all the Caribbean Islands! Cruise lines helped a lot by giving these people source of income however the government of these islands are the one really getting all the profits! We can only help here and there but the most help must come from their leaders!

That man was so wrong Haitians do not hate Americans. Maybe Americans like him but that was false. And if you think they hate you why are you vacationing in their country and flaunting food and riches that they are not privy to have in their faces.

Sadly you give them food and they allow it itll become a constant thing and more will come eventually the fence would be full of beggars and make the whole vacation experience a not so great one. If you really want to help join a mission group that helps build schools and homes thats what will actually help my family does this once a year

This is a tough situation tbh. On one hand, Haiti would not make it without the revenue from tourism. Most of these Caribbean port cities wouldn't make it without the cruises that stop there (Nassau, Cozumel, Cancun). But on the other hand, the locals are so incredibly poor compared to the middle-class tourists that visit, it feels wrong to even be there. While we are in blissful relaxation, sipping bahama mama's on the beach, the locals to the area we're at are begging for food. There's not really a solution. The cruises help the local economy, but it makes cruisers feel like shit. Personally, my partner and I chose to avoid Labadee and do a different cruise. We decided we wouldn't feel right eating the buffet while there's a barbed wire fence a few feet away and armed guards in the jungle. Labadee isn't a secluded paradise like Half Moon Cay, it's a compound.

You’re exposing only your ignorance. Royal is the biggest employer on the island. If not for them thousands of people won’t be alive today.

I will never sail RC to Labadee.

What the video doesn't show is that the beggars at the fence line often take that food and resell it in town. Handing food and money across the fence only leads to big trouble and even worse crowds hanging around. There used to be a video where passengers were hurling food and dimes across the fence and watching the Haitians scramble for them like pigeons.

I don't understand the point of all this and the filmmaker's indignation. So the vendors have to pay to be there to sell their things. The people running the little stands in the mall have to pay to be able to be there, the owner of a store in a shopping center has to pay rent. And why should the vendor get free food? Does someone working in Walmart get free food? When you buy things from the vendor, he makes money and spends it in his village that IS helping the local economy. I do wonder if they ever have stowaways sneak over the fence and board on the the ships.

SO WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUPID F*CKING VIDEO HUH?........ Here we have this British Piece Of Sh*t video taping as if he is the moral compass of Haiti...smgdh This is the REAL WORLD & unfortunately EVERYONE is, can not & will not be privileged to live the "Good Life" ok. You get in where you fit in & deal with the hands of life that God gives you. This isn't the tourists fault or problem. If you feel that way, then DO NIT GO OR TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD because people everywhere live like shit & slaves.

Is this the market? I heard a lot of vendors gets aggressive. Is that true ?

this was the most miserable port I had ever been to. I felt so terribly uncomfortable. Like I was showing off my "wealth" by being there. It was hard to see so many people suffering so. I will never understand why this is a vacation port.

If you think Haitians hate Americans WHY BRING YOUR AZZ TO HAITI? THIS IS CRAZY!!!

Nahhh they will not kill u wtfff they don’t hate Americans

I feel like its VERY easy for people to judge when we have the privilege of living in a country or area where we DONT have to worry about food. For all those that are saying they are acting or lying to get food, have you ever been in that situation? Yes granted it is NOT our responsibility as tourists to feed people that displaced or in certain situations while on vacation. We could say the same thing about people in our own counties, there are scams or hustles all over the world. How many people have they caught that would go begging in the streets for hours but go home to a 4bdrm house in queens ny!? (Happens all over America) I'm not sorry for being human and having heart, I would help someone or give them food in a heartbeat. Its not unknown that haiti has had terrible economic times with horrible corruption in their government, those people literally cannot catch a break. Also to add we cannot be that surprised how big corporations that take advantage of the "little people" or areas that are really desperate for that type of tourist money to circulate in their country. Thats why I personally always go to the vendors or the little shops on the side and spend my money there so it goes back to them.

And I want you to remember me ❤️

Yeah many mention in the comments what the company pays to the govt per passenger in port fees and how much that is per month or per year--c'mon folks this is the government of Haiti were talking about here LOL. No corruption or inefficiencies to be seen in Haiti!! How much of those fees make it all the way down to the locals or for infrastructure? Give me a break!!

Does anyone have any information on the urban clown and where he is now

Whats the point of this video?

The Haitian people aren’t bad people at all, but this is one of those cases where a few ruin it for the many. In Haiti, there are armed gangs and criminals who want to kidnap the foreigners on the cruise and hold them for a ransom. Without the security, these evil people can easily do that. That’s why there’s a travel advisory on Haiti. Most of the people in Haiti, however are great people, but these armed gangs ruin it for everyone. I would recommend enjoying your time on the cruise and then finding ways to reach out and help these people afterwards. The cruise company probably won’t help because most large companies only help others when it promotes their own sales.

The Red Cross is bunch off thieves

Um Haiti is not a nice place, dangerous in fact.

That lady is lying

Why are they begging I hate that

Royal Caribbean already feeds their crew and lease the port.Why they have to go broke to save the world?Royal Caribbean is a business not a super hero. Why you don’t expose the good life of the Haiti government officials and ask them for equality instead ?
