OMG....And yet after many years in operation the existing cruise port hasn’t improved things so why would you think another cruise port a few miles away would be any different.

I’ll ask you the same question I asked the other day Bahama Pundit...why would you think Disney will be the golden goose for eleuthera if the already existing cruise port just a few miles down the road at Princess Cruise Lines Princess Cay did nothing to uplift and lay Golden Eggs for south eleuthera???. Nobody wants to actually answer that question because....because the answer is staring everybody in the face at Princess Cay....it does nothing except give a few Bahamians toilet-cleaning jobs while the cruise line rapes the land and sends their profits back to the USA. Try not to be a sucker yet again.

Nothing to hear about Cotton Bay from Ingraham and One eleuthera because it has nothing to do with One eleuthera , it is Frankie Wilson’s project...better ask Frankie why nothing happening at Cotyon Bay.

There is already a private cruise port in Eleuthera...hasn’t done squat for the economy...why would anybody with a brain think another one would accomplish what the first one hasn’t?

becks says...

False equivalency.....I’m not a big fan of them but the Chinese investments are not only government sanctioned and in partnership with government in some cases but far surpass anything Disney is proposing...plus the Chinese investments do employ hundreds upon hundreds of Bahamians. Disney at best will employ a few Bahamians in basic construction jobs for a few months and a few others in menial toilet-cleaning jobs while at the same time closing off more beaches to Bahamians and destroying one of the most beautiful natural wonders of the Bahamas. No comparison at all.

Anybody else notice on the Disney map how Bahamians lose ALL access to the whole of the point and lose all access to the best part of the beaches? As far as Castaway Cay...how many Bahamians are employed full time there and in what kind of jobs??? And if these cruise-ports are so great for the Bahamas can any Bahamian actually show all the great economic improvements that have happened in the Berry Islands or Castaway Cay or at Princess Cay in Eleuthera since these cruise lines built them 10, 20 and 30 years ago? Go on...We are waiting.

Disney deals with it by not hiring them but instead bringing in their own employees from outside of the country.

Nice try at diverting the question and why are you so focused on One Eleuthera and Shaun Ingraham? You keep bringing him up seems like you have a personal issue with him, a bit of Black crab syndrome maybe? One Eleuthera didn’t exist back when Princess Cay was developed..now how about answering my question...what happened to all the fantastic game changing economic improvements by the development of Princess Cay.

Ashley14 and all of you who are for this Disney project and who keep saying it “will be a game changer” and the Eleuthera “ economy will explode” and that “ it could rejuvenate the Eleuthera economy for decades” please explain to the rest of us, if that is really what will happen why is it then that the already existing Princess Cay cruise ship port just down the road a couple of miles, that has been there for years, hasn’t already done all those wonderful things that you claim will happen because of Disney? Princess Cays hasn’t done anything beyond providing a few menial jobs cleaning toilets etc. to a very small number of locals. The economy didn’t take off. By what magical and mystical thinking do you actually think that anything diffrent will happen with Disney? Open your eyes, Disney will rape the land, make millions off of it and throw 20 menial jobs to a few locals and that’s it. Period. Same exact formula Princess used down the road and same all the other cruise lines, Disney included, used at their other private spots in the Bahamas.
