How exactly would cruisers be a problem?
We've enjoyed many cruises over the years, as well as many vacations on SXM. In fact, we will be stopping in SXM via cruise ship in November. We manage to spend plenty of money in the short amount of time we are ashore... chairs @ Club O, drinks at Perch, lunch on the beach. Last time, we also stopped at Yellow Submarine for breakfast before venturing to Club O. I guess I'm just curious how you've deduced cruise ship passengers don't spend money?
