One difference with Tortola is that there already was a dolphinarium there. It was closed due to Irma, but I guess will be reopening. And there really is not a whole heck of a lot for cruise visitors to do on Tortola, unlike SXM. And, as Elaine said, this abomination has been beaten back a couple of times before on SXM. Hopefully it will be again. Everyone PLEASE sign the Petition, which is now over 6,000 signatures!
