Today we visit Haiti!

Haiti is a Caribbean country that shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic to its east. Though it’s still recovering from a 2010 earthquake, many of Haiti's landmarks dating to the early 19th century remain intact. These include Citadelle la Ferrière, a mountaintop fortress, and the nearby ruins of Sans-Souci Palace, the baroque former royal home of King Henry I.

Not feeling as adventurous but still want to touch down on this beautiful island? For your first visit, consider a Royal Caribbean cruise to Labadee! But I warn you...the taste test will leave you wanting more!

Yesterday we spent a day at sea with Royal Caribbean and didn't visit an island! But we are back at it today.

Today's Caribbean stop...Guyana.

Destination spotlight
Guyana, a country on South America’s North Atlantic coast, is defined by its dense rainforest. English-speaking, with cricket and calypso music, it's culturally connected to the Caribbean region. Its capital, Georgetown, is known for British colonial architecture, including tall, painted-timber St. George’s Anglican Cathedral. A large clock marks the facade of Stabroek Market, a source of local produce.
