These days, and I mean for some time now, this is what I see...
The Carnival Victory
One solitary cruise ship making its way into our Bridgetown Harbour.
I can depend on her arriving around 7.15a.m.
This happens every Wednesday morning with no fanfare...just an old girl heading for port.....
With a determination and a loyalty that becomes her, she cruises slowly into the bay, and then is met by the tug boat to guide her carefully to a safe docking.
Safe and sound for the day...... she is berthed..
Once we had our sugar as the number one revenue earner for this island. After the closure of all of the sugar factories, with the exception of one, we now only have tourism as our main revenue earner.
"Tourism is our business"......"let's play our part" is what we hear being drilled into our ears everyday.
If this is so, how come, we only have one cruise ship, visiting these shores once a week, for the past months and for a few more to come?
The person or persons to whom this job belongs, had better wake up...and soon.
