Independence of the Seas in Port at Labadee, Haiti There is a splash pad for younger kids and thrill seekers can check out the zipline or coaster. The sip and paint excursion on Labadee is also a great option for anyone who wants a combination of activity and souvenir - we talked to some ladies on our cruise who had a great time on that excursion! Até Já, LabadeeIt breaks our hearts to hear about ongoing civil unrest in Haiti and the struggles the people there are facing. Although Labadee is a secured area from the rest of the island and quite a distance from the dangerous areas, under an abundance of caution Royal Caribbean has had to pause stops here for a time. We hope the situation improves soon and the residents of Haiti can have some peace on their beautiful island.  Haitian Sunset | Royal Caribbean Cruise Review So for now we say até já, Labadee. See you soon. :) More Royal Caribbean Cruise Reviews:

Goat Cheese Tart
Goat Cheese Tart Royal Caribbean Cruise Food
Mozzarella Cheese SticksMozzarella cheese coated with crispy garlic-seasoned panko breading and fried until golden brown, paired with a zesty marinara dipping sauce. ​
Clearly that is not mozzarella cheese.
​ Due to a supply chain issue, the culinary crew had to make a cheese swap out. So it was surprising when you're expecting mozzarella, but hey - when you're talking about breaded and deep fried cheese it's hard to go wrong. :) Traditional English Fish and CHips
Tempura-battered Atlantic cod fried until golden with thick-cut potatoes, mushy peas, creamy coleslaw and tartar sauce.
​ Chicken Tikka Masala
Indian Food on Royal Caribbean is almost always a home run if you're not sure what to order. I've said it before and I'll say it again. :)
Sticky Toffee Pudding
Warm steamed date pudding with caramel sauce and whipped cream.
​ Hairspray Broadway Production
Good Morning Baltimore!
After dinner we squeezed in a production show. On Symphony of the Seas you can watch the Broadway production Hairspray. It's one of the longer shows you will see on a cruise.
