LINK: "The Royal Treatment" - Why @RoyalCaribbean should be praised (not punished) for their work in #Haiti

Very interesting read on why Royal Caribbean’s operations in Haiti should be praised instead of demonized. I’ve been to Labadee (the private resort run by RC) referenced in this post and its a wonderful place!

So let me get this straight … RCCL has been pumping millions into Haiti’s economy since 1986 (and continues to do so despite a seemingly never-ending barrage of horrible PR), has contributed around $2 million since the earthquake alone, shipped in tons (and I means TONS) of relief supplies at their own expense, built a half-million dollar school facility nearby, and funds that annually to the tune of $200,000 … and they owe Haiti MORE?
