No cruise ship is going to bring it’s customers to a place where they are not welcome because they don’t look like us.
Bermuda is changing for the better thank you OBA.

Great to see the Veendam in Bermuda- welcome to all aboard!
While there is not a full “Harbour Nights” event while the Veendam is here in May, The BTA and Corporation Of Hamilton has helped vendors to have a market in the parking lot across from The Emporium Building for the month of May.
It will operate every Wednesday night in MAY.
Thanks to those who were involved in providing such an excellent opportunity for Bermudian entrepreneurs.
Please let our visitors know!

So you call the majority of MP’s, including PLP MP’s, a “narrow political interest”. Got it.

There’s no official Harbour Nights until June however BTA and some vendors have gotten together for an Arts and Crafts market in #5 Parking lot (across from Flanagan’s). Every Wednesday in May from 7-10. Contact Bermuda Tourism Authority for more information. We want our cruise passengers and other May visitors to have a great time in Bermuda! Locals always welcome of course! Come on out tomorrow!

Even if it is docked next to the containers, I have seen many docking areas no where near ours.

Maybe so Raymond but there is still a damn dock there.

And you can still dock at the Flag Pole unless they ran out of good Pilots.

Hope all of the passengers stood at the rails & thumbed their noses at those onboard the cattle boats in Dockyard which are too large to get into Hamilton & be at the center of things.

Shop staff, step it up & make the Veendam people feel very very welcome.

Terry, you’ve been living overseas for far too long bie’. The number one pier has been a car park for years. That’s right, no cruise ship tie-up there

Well if not for the desire to punish former premier Browne by both sides of the house over this issue of gambling in port; we would have had ships in Hamilton a long time ago. This was one of the failures of the former PLP government since they were in control of government at that time and some of them voted along with the than OBA opposition to killed premier Browne’s gambling bill. months of lost revenue for the country all because of the lack of pragmatism and foresight on the part of those members of the former PLP government who voted against the bill and their leader and the narrow political interests of the than OBA political opposition.

It’s nice to see cruise ships in Hamilton again on a somewhat regular basis!

I get the sentiment, but why fire the first shot across the bow, so to speak?

Why not address the Veendam visit in the first place? Hopefully the visitors will have a great experience that will encourage them to make a repeat visit and stay on-shore next time

“The writings on the wall”. Such a pleasure in seeing not only the “Veendam” in Hamilton Harbour, but also the other cruise ships we’ve been seeing thus-far this year…

Cue Mockingay to find something negative to say – and to somehow blame it on the OBA.
