So we are giving away one (out of two) of our valuable dock spaces for visitors to board a ship and sail to a cruise ship owned island in the Bahamas? We should be focusing on ships coming to Bermuda as their destination. Bermuda is a far better place than some ‘Castaway cay’ type made up island.

So hundreds of people fly into the airport and will need to be transported to Dockyard, and back. This from a Government who can’t even run a local bus schedule. What happens if an infectious disease breaks out and ship returns to the homeport? How will the hospital cope with several hundred people? Plus the food costs will be horrendous, let alone the impact to water supply, garbage and sewage.
