Reply #3: The concensus of Cruise Critic posters agrees

Go to Labadee, spend money with the Haitian vendors (no bargaining!), tip well, bring bottled water, etc. Some are planning on bringing and leaving clothing items, buying food but eating on the ship instead so that the food will be taken back to families on the island, etc.

Deserting the people who depend on the cruise ships for their livlihood now will only further hurt their situations.
