From what we saw and those we spoke to, it seems few in the BVI would regret fewer cruise ship stops at Road Town. It seemed clear that the cruise ships are not necessarily as additive to the economy as may have been hoped. Mal would certainly know more than most, but others seemed to also agree that the cruise shippers have a displacement effect on others and those others tend to actually contribute more on a per person basis to the local economy than the cruise shippers do in the case of the BVI.
