Think about it, why would carnival want a cruise port out east? What is out there- nothing!'Carnival will build their own one stop port where there will be no need for taxis, buses, and just about everything else. Carnival will control every aspect of the"stop" . What is in it for the people long term? We already know howcthese cruise lines operate when they stop in Freeport, its straight to Bahamas Adventure (via thecfavored bus company) with guests told do not bring cash only your ships room card which they use to pay for everything they eat drink and do. Not very much money stays in the local econemy.

I bet there were deposits made!

What say you john

John you paint me with a broad brush. I will answer so that you fully understand where I am coming from. My Mother was very proud of her B. B.& B.B. son God rest her ever Loving soul. Let me make myself perfectly clear to you John This writer was bred, born and broughtup bahamian so don't come at me with YOUR racist xenophobic bullshit my friend. I am educated enough to know what we need to do to get ahead as a nation. Now to answer the second part of your comment, slack and lazy, go to any department of government and you will get your answer, corrupt , shame Gibson, nose fitzgerald, witch maynard. and we as Bahamians allow this to happen!

Your second post hits the nail on the head SLOP did control the job market and like you say he saw to it that jobs went mostly to plunder loot and pillage supporters, as for jobs on returning home, what jobs????? Our biggest set back are politicians that feel it is necessary to take care of friends family and lovers by using BOB like it was their own bank too plunder loot and pillage. Other banks see the writing on the wall and make it much more difficult to source loans. Why does the plunder loot and pillage not lend these people the money they need?

John you sound like an excuse machine. Stop blaming our own slacknees, our own laziness, our own corrupt practices on other people, look in the mirror dude! My kids grew up here and were college educated in the U.S. and stayed there after graduating, there is nothing and I mean nothing here for them. Until Bahamians completely understand that it takes immigrants from all walks of life to build a country we are doomed.

Now you talking.

Amen Banker! The plunder loot pillage dont care, this has happened to Dr. Nottage before and he should undergo tests etc. to find out what is wrong. God Bless him.

400 k into someones pocket. Have they EVER made a public showing of the destruction of any illicet drugs? Makes you wonder.

Wish i could say we were making those kinds of profit. Some years that much was lost and we are still in buisness!

Seems Bahama Wasre hit the nail on the head. Why did they not look into how they deal with waste in Freeport?
