In the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake , Royal Caribbean continued docking cruise ships at the Labadee resort , located approximately 60 miles from the epicenter of the earthquake , during the ongoing humanitarian crisis . Royal Caribbean vice president John Weis defended the decision , citing relief supplies delivered through the ships and proceeds from the call going towards relief efforts . The decision to continue docking was criticized nonetheless and created concern among passengers . On 5 July 2005 , passengers on board the '' Brilliance of the Seas '' reported what appeared to be blood on a part of the ship below the passenger balconies . After a search , George Allen Smith was discovered to be missing and thought to have fallen overboard . A criminal investigation into possible foul play was conducted , and a brief press release on the company 's investor relations website announced the settlement of the case , later revealed to be more than $ 1 million
