So after a little delay on our departure day, we arrived in Haiti a couple hours late. Three hours after we left port, the captain let us know we had to turn around and head back to Port Canaveral as one of the passengers needed to go to a hospital. As of this morning's report, the passenger made it to the hospital and was doing well.
Labadee is Royal Caribbean's private beach near Cap-Haitien. As neither of us are much for sitting on a beach and Julie was restricted to light activity, we opted for a one-hour walking tour of the historic area. Given it felt like 150 degrees and 100% humidity, one hour was about the limit for these two delicate petals.
We learned a little about the history of the area and a lot about the neem tree and its healing properties. Not sure I would recommend this shore excursion for anyone that is really into learning about the area. Julie and I are pretty nerdy and do like walking tours where we learn a lot about the areas we visit and especially little known facts.
As I mentioned, it was H.O.T. and we are rather delicate so after the tour, we headed back to the ship to check out some of those 27 bars I mentioned. On Deck 5, is the Rising Tides bar. It starts on Deck 5 and then rises up to Deck 8. When it is up on Deck 8, the empty space becomes a fountain.
Tonight's show a great performer from Las Vegas. He wrapped up the show with a little tribute to Prince.
