Sass? - Something is rotten with our statistics

[Assasin]

If you read the stats you will see that stopover visitors actually decreased between March and October this year. This wasn't the best summer months but the Winter was good and this Winter is going to be good as well.

People just talk without even looking at the stats sometimes. The cruise figure has been up and can be attributed to Falmouth actually coming on line, so it may represent an overall increase in tourist arrival but the figures are there.

Just last week me go pon a 4 day cruise to Bahamas and me haffe say, I was thinking the same ting! 300 pounders fe stone dawg pon de boat! And nuh ask if dem nuh use up them unlimited access to the buffet line too. LOL.

My other observation was the nationalities of the cruise staff, or at least the ones that were visible.

Food and beverage was dominated by Jamaicans with a sprinkling of people from the other islands. Room service (laundry, garbage, etc) was very mixed, nuff Asians , a decent # of Jamaicans. Ship maintenance (technicians, etc) looked to be mostly Asians. Child Care/activities had mostly English-speaking Europeans interestingly.
