A Royal Response to Haiti

A small part of Haiti has been of great importance to Royal Caribbean Cruises and its affiliated cruise line, Celebrity Cruises, for years. RCC’s own cruise port, Labadee, is located on the impoverished island nation that was ravaged by the earthquake in January.
The Royal Response?
An injection of $1 million to a variety of charitable organizations the company has been supporting over the years, including Food For The Poor, Pan American Development Foundation, and the Solano Foundation.
Most importantly, Royal Caribbean cruise ships will continue to bring in supplies.
“The effect of the earthquake has left Haiti in need of not only immediate support, but assistance in their long-term recovery,” said Richard D. Fain, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
“Royal Caribbean wants to do its part to help out not only the general response, but also our hundreds of Haitian employees and their families through this disaster.”
Supplies started arriving the next weekend on the Independence of the Seas. It was followed by other “supply” ships such as Navigator, Liberty, Celebrity Solstice.
Guests on board all Royal Caribbean ships also made donations to support the Haitian cause.
That’s it, we’re done.
