It should be grounded permanently.

The Bahamian public would be $50+ million better off each year.

Oracle is correct.

The GBPA is the one who decides if GBPC can increase its rates. Ian Rolle and those should be able to explain to the public why an increase was agreed to.

You are correct.

I suspect Victor and those are too scared to take on the real decision makers.

No, Ms. Jibrulu you need to give the Ministry of Tourism a deep clean and change couse to a better type of visitor.

The Bahamas Governments determination to encourage the cruise ship passenger over the air arrival is the cause of Bay Streets downfall.

The PLP used to boast how they were bringing in more and more tourists to fool the voter that they were doing something for them.

The cruise ship passenger has never spent any where near as much as the air arrival. Government has never brought in enough cruise ship passengers to counter the loss of the good spending air arrival who found that Nassau had lost its charm.

Once a shopping meca for the air arrival with china, cashemer sweaters, linens, fine clothing and fine dining; it has become a T shirt, souviner row of shops with jewelry stores in between.

It was the GBPA who approved this. You should march infront of the building with the real power.

Oracle is correct.

You need to go after the Grand Bahama Port Authority not GB Power.

Thank you Mr. Alnebeck, well said.

That's correct.

Now the Bahamians get very little out of the cruise passenger dollars. The cruise line use our countey to make them hundreds of millions a year and leave us with their polution.

We would be much better off spending money and bringing more air arrivals.

So why are the patients not receiving "basic treatment"? It would seem that Dr. Lockhart knows but doesnot want to expose the Ministry of Healths incompetence.

Thank you Dr. Bethel, for bringing this to light.

We should ban the likes of Carnival and Royal Caribbean and their cheap sister companies.

The cruise lines cause more environmental damage than they contibute to our economy. They have captive audiances on their environmentally destroyed islands and hire a few Bahamian life guards and maintance workers which are low paying jobs.

When they come to Nassau they tell passengers where to shop and which tours (ones where they have a special fee structure) to take.

Bahamians get very little. It is not like the 1960's or early 1970's where the passenger got off and explored, went to Bahamian owned resturants and bought tours directly from the tour operator.

Get rid of these leaches.

Ok, so I read the Bahamas Supreme Court judgement.
1. Bahama Divers had a US Agent and a US phone number - i.e. was US connected so they had right to try the case.
2. Bahama Divers chose to ignore the case in the US completely ignoring their US connection.

Nothing is said in the Judgement but, reading between the lines, it would appear that Bahama Divers did not put the case in the hands of the insurance company.

We all know that when you get in a car accident you inform the insurance company and the insurance company handles the case from there so it begs the question why Bahama Divers was fighting the case?
