Royal Caribbean, Independence of the Seas Haiti Barbecue
The Royal Caribbean cruise ship Independence of the Seas continued its scheduled stop at a private fenced-in beach in Labadee, Haiti, shortly after the earthquake. Passengers participated in water sports and barbecues while armed guards patrolled the perimeter. The cruise line defended the stop as a humanitarian call because the ship delivered 40 pallets of supplies.
