I think that they should still dock there. We should be pumping money into their economy right now. RC is doing what it can do to help, by using their ships as transport for help. The visitors should do what they can by contributing to their economy in whatever way they see fit. There's nothing wrong with having a reflective dinner on the part of the country that hasn't suffered. You don't have to party hardy while there. You can take that time to reflect on your own blessings. Maybe you can talk to the locals about how they're feeling, lend a hand if possible while your there, or pledge to match what you spend there with a Haitian Relief Fund when you return.
