Cruise ship stop in Haiti is not really Haiti. [View all]

I was surprised to see news that cruise ships are still stopping in Haiti, but it's more like not being in Haiti at all. It's an isolated resort, fenced off and heavily guarded. Guests are not allowed to leave the resort. Sounds like an immersive cultural experience, huh?
