Almost 14 000 cruise ship passengers and crew could be descending on Barbados and the island’s attractions on Sunday when four mega ships call at the Bridgetown Port.
And chief executive officer of Foster and Ince Cruise World, Martin Ince, is hoping that authorities lay on extra personnel to dispatch them as quickly as possible.
The Caribbean Princess, with its 2 627 passengers and 1 190 crew, will be bringing the greatest number. It will be joined by the Queen Mary 2, the Norwegian Dawn, the Marella Explorer and the smallest with 100 passengers – the Sirena.
“On very busy days, I think as a destination, we need to be planning a little better to ensure that we can handle the surges,” Ince told THE NATION. (HLE)
