Goes back to Premier Romney who brought them in..his company Romasco has many rights including being allowed onto the dock to pick up passengers, certain dockage fees etc.His company picks up some passengers ,takes them to West End , puts them on one of their boats and takes them to their own bar on Peter Island..getting them $$$ every way.I also heard recently ( not confirmed) that the Gov now gets $18 for every passenger that comes ashore and $8 for those that stay shipbound. The only way this will change is that we are hearing passengers complain about the overcrowding...that they are creating. That may turn away some of the ships. A bad side effect has been over aggressive taxi drivers..one nearly forced me off the cliff the other day as he drove down the middle of the road speaking into his mike.And God forbid you should try and park in CGB on a cruise ship day!!!!
