EDITOR, The Tribune
To those who effectively eliminated the Bahamian group with the small equity holding of certain Cruise Lines please listen up - how is Global going to increase passengers - spend obviously the most important issue if they, Global, have no influence on the schedules of the cruise boats?
Design? Although the photographs of the artist renderings are not clear very clearly the architects of Global have used quite a lot of architectural rendering and forgot the strict security required by International Convention - IPPS. There has to be 100% separation between public and cruise ships no intermingling - the rendering published do not show this infant the obvious total opposite seems to be proposed. Modern, very modern design in the midst of colonial - hope the Special Nassau Town Planning Board will insist in a compatible design? God help Nassau City if the trend continues like the ugliness of The Pointe?
I am more than curious where Arawak Port Development will play in this? They were conveniently said not to be part of the RFP proposal but when the IPO comes how can you stop them grabbing up 25% as was the intent from page one. We have to ask for a specific declaration of ownership of MP’s.
Unless we change the current arrival schedule there is no reason to spend $250 million as we still will be receiving cruise boats with ‘000’s of passengers who cannot spend as they have spent south of us - Nassau is the last but one or last port of call before Florida. Surely the committee who selected Global did their research or was it a done deal? Let’s see the other artist renderings for comparison?

Sour Grapes Looser. Your concerns about "There has to be 100% separation between public and cruise ships no intermingling" will easily be corrected with a Fence like the one that presently exist. The design of structures in the Video are Transformative and are ment to set Nassau apart from other port cities around the world. Your colonial way of thinking is what has kept us back as a country.

Looking at the video there is a big arrivals hall at the start of the pier. At a guess this is where the separation will be. meaning the area with the amphitheatre will be open to both tourist and Bahamians. Someone is trying to make noise for no reason.

Boy Minus, you ain't not tired running your mouth and writing all these letters to the editor? You are one angry bird, Seagull to be exact. Give up already! Your team already lost! Why do you keep bringing up APD? They are not apart of this deal. Can we just worry once about the company that won? No need to change a darn thing because GPH work speaks tremendously about what they are capable of accomplishing. No other countries that they manage seem to have an issue with their management skills. Also, who cares to see the other artist rendering for comparison? Not I said the cat! Sounds to me like you need to go to the dentist for all this Kaka you running on with.
