One of the perks of visiting Labadee, Royal Caribbean’s exclusive private island, is the passport exception it offers. Surprisingly, Labadee, despite being situated within Haiti, does not necessitate a passport for entry. This means that you can embark on your Royal Caribbean cruise to Labadee without worrying about this travel document.
It’s important to note, however, that if your cruise itinerary includes another destination that requires a U.S. passport book, such as other countries in the Caribbean or beyond, your cruise line may still require you to have your passport handy during the check-in process. This holds true even if you’re part of a closed-loop cruise that eventually returns to the United States.
So, while Labadee offers a unique passport exception, it’s always a good practice to double-check the specific passport requirements for your entire cruise itinerary to ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey.
