Please go on Facebook and read the comments of many of these passengers on the June 12th sailing. They were not impressed with Grand Bahama and totally trashed Bahamasair. Also, many who have booked upcoming cruises are reading these firsthand reviews and vowing to remain on the ship in Freeport and not fly Bahamasair. The cruise ships may be coming but it doesn't necessarily mean that money is being spent throughout the economy.

Would be glad if you can provide the Facebook site links with all these complaints so that the authorities concerned can rectify and improve moving forward.

too late. what would they have said about GB? *Dead with nothing to do*? How do you fix that "*now*"? Bahamians need to stop acting as if what we **say** trumps reality, once **is** enough and junkanoo is **not** the greatest show on earth. It could be if we accepted somethings wrong. but we won't. only "one glitch" spoiled the experience everything else was perfect.

I wouldn't fly Bahamasair either. 2 hours wait for a Bahamasair flight is nothing, you're lucky if the plane leaves within 2 hours of it's scheduled departure. See how long it takes to get through the check in line on a Bahamasair flight in Miami.

But really, they are blaming the problem on not realizing how many people would get off the cruise ship to return to the US? The number of people on the ship is a widely available number, how did they not know? Did they think they were going to head back to the US by some other means of transport?

Just typical of the slackness, no thought, no care, no worry attitude of this country.

Perhaps Minnis and D'Aguilar should be asked by Neil Hartnell whether Bahamasair is now being used to subsidize the airlift costs of Royal Caribbean's new home ported cruise passengers. By now Russell Benford of Royal Caribbean has no doubt figured out that Minnis and D'Aguilar are very much two fools alike.

I don't think "Neil Hartnell" is an actual person. I would bet it's just a pen name they use for a bunch of people.

"He suggested that Bahamasair “probably under-estimated” how many disembarked Royal Caribbean passengers would arrive at Lynden Pindling International Airport". How is it possible for Bahamasair not to know how many passengers will be flying on any given day?

Never thought to add up how many tickets they had sold. It's beyond stupid to either actually under-estimate, or use that as an excuse. Sorry, our excuse is that we are too stupid to run basic business operations.

The homeporting will not last long.

Once the cruise lines finish suing the cdc and then open Florida port.

Ron DeSantis made a terrible mistake in using Florida taxpayer dollars to sue the CDC on behalf of the cruise ship industry without first obtaining a commitment from the cruise ship operators that they would not be requiring vaccination passports for their passengers.

Most US citizens are absolutely livid about the idea of vaccination passports being used as a yet another politically motivated tool to divide people through the seriously misguided use of agenda politics.

lol no thought no planning, and as always the gov. caught with their pants down all dangling and they are still trying to say their pants was not caught down. Lol it just never ends.

"*that this was “one glitch” in an otherwise “seamless*"

sigh... this why we never prepared. we always willing to brush off 1 glitch... like oh the system design to handle a resurgence in tourism was overwhelmed by 5000 transactions or who knew alphabets were so hard or who said you had to do a migration test then check to make sure all the vaccination records were transferred?

These one glitches are killing us

"*think Bahamasair probably under-estimated the time to check those people in and their bags.*

Seriously??? the same bahamasair who been checking in people for decades?

One time I was checked in an overbooked flight in Marsh Harbour.

It was easter monday April 6, I think.
There was a group of people carrying on. Their ticket was June 4, ie 6/4 as opposed to 4/6.

They were a group of corporate people from a company and needed to return that day.

Don't know how that was solved.

**Looks more be a scene snapped right out** of the Miami International Airport?
Such a big assembly of a closely-shoved together crowd in a country where but few its PopoulacesGeneral have been vaccinated with a single dose.
The numbers grew even scarier lookin' at the total number the those amongst **the fully vaccinated. In what manner should even colonial government allows such an unhealthy thing.
This image is so all wrong. Luckily for the House-elected 39 red MPs that they aren't facing living under the harsh laws of the old testament, yes?

Make no mistake about it, Dumb Tommy T and even Dumber D'Aguilar calling all the shots at Bahamasair is a most dangerous situation for all of us taxpayers and our small nation's out-of-control national debt.

Bahamasair's daily operating losses have now reached a staggeringly record high level thanks in great part to the gross incompetence of Tommy T and D'Aguilar.

It took an unimaginable amount of incompetence on multiple levels to fuch up this badly!!!
