- Some cruise lines sail to places that the US State Department advised not to visit.
- The United States has destinations such as Haiti, Honduras and Sinalo in Mexico at “Fourth Level: Do not travel.”
- The CLIA Industry Group said that the cruise lines are working with security experts and governments to assess their paths.
The warm beaches full of palm trees in the Royal Caribbian private resort of Lapadi Caribbian are accommodated every year.
But six hours drive away, near the Tucson International Airport, the situation cannot seem completely different.
The Federal Aviation Department prevented American airlines from flying to the main airport in Haiti, which is run by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Calls “A pivotal point for armed activity.” Amid the continued civil unrest, the United States advises not to travel to the Caribbean state, warning of robbery, car theft, sexual assault and kidnapping, including American citizens.
Labadi is located along the northern coast of Hyty, and provides amenities such as sliding ropes, floating trampoline and special beaches.
Royal Caribian International
Royal Caribbean temporarily suspended its flights to Labadee for seven months in 2024. However, some of its largest ships have since returned – despite the country remaining in the strongest warnings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs “Level 4: Do not travel.”
Royal Caribbean has maintained the safety of Labadee Cruisehive In late 2024, the property will have a special security and the minimum crime. (Business Insider did not provide a comment on Labadee.)
Like Royal Caribbean, famous holiday companies such as Carnival, Norway and Princess are also sailing to destinations where the United States has a 4 or 3 level travel warning, such as Honduras, Treenidad, Tobago and many Mexican states.
To understand the reason, you have to read the fine details of notifications.
Rawatan Island in Honduras is a famous port for the visit, despite the United States issued a 3 level travel warning.
Carnival Company
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises to reconsider travel to Honduras due to high levels of violence and gangs. However, it indicates more resources and improving the police in tourist areas such as Rawatan – the home of the port of Maahogany Bay Cruise Center.
As such, cruise lines such as Celebrity, Princess, MSC and Oceania are all all raw flights scheduled in 2025.
Likewise, the US government recommends avoiding traveling to the states of Kulima and Sinalo Mexicans. But consulting says that federal employees can travel to specific tourist areas in Mazmanan, Cinnalua, Manzanilo and Kulima – where cruise lines such as Norwegian and Princess will sail in 2025. (Royal Caribbean and Carnival currently offer Manzanilo flights).
A spokesman for the Cruise Lines International Association told BI that its companies “give priority to safety and security in all their operations and closely monitor all planned roads, including work closely with international security experts and government authorities.”
They said that if necessary, flight paths are modified to similar ports.
The Foreign Ministry says that federal employees can travel to Mazmanan in the state of Sinwa on the plane or ship and are limited to the historic city center and Zona Dorada, a tourist sector on the beach.

Of course, not all travel warnings are created evenly.
The United States put the Bahamas at the second level – “practicing more caution” – due to the crime in two of its most popular islands, Grand Bahama and Nio Provence (House of NASO).
However, this Caribbean state is still a famous holiday destination – and it is likely to be more than this by the end of the year.
Several marine flight giants have expanded their own ports portfolio throughout the Bahamas Islands. Carnival is currently building a resort of $ 600 million, Celebrity KK, in Grand Bahama, while the upcoming Royal Beach Club Paradise Island resort in Royal Caribian will be a short drive away from New Providens.
They are expected to appear for the first time in 2025.
