Just a question of: will it come by ship or plane or both. Anyone who thinks it’s not coming lives in la-la land. Blessings to all.. stay strong.

Yes that what not saving for rainy day gets you
Successive lack of big picture thinking and vision has us in this Barely sustainable situation
I blame ONA too, save for AC which was Grant’s Dunkley government did nothing for Bermuda’s future either except sink us into Morgan’s point
How many children could that money help? Imagine if we’d built affordable housing? More money for Education? But no, we are on hook for a bunch of multi millionaires disaster thanks to OBA
Thanks to PLp are population and local business sector is declining faster than the titanic
Affordable livable Housing is not in reach of the majority of Bermudians
Unemployment is rising

Cayman and Jamaica who have a significant numbers of cruise ship visits are talking about the adverse financial impact of this. What is the position of the Ministers of Finance and Tourism who have been silent? This years budget made use of increased cruise ship taxes to pay for infrastructure upgrades. Unlikely now to happen, plus less air arrivals. Tourism based businesses will suffer. Taxes will drop. The Civil Service will have to cut expenses to match the drop in revenue. More debt is not the answer. Welcome to the real world.
