You are right about the damage cruise ships have done to BVI tourism..especially on Tortola and villa rentals.Even the owners of the beach bars complain that the cruise ship folks stop others from having a nice lunch etc..while they "use" the facilities but dont spend the $$.Sadly we cant put the genie back in the bottle but we could cut back on the numbers coming ashore.For an island of about 20,000 a sudden influx of 8,000 is overwhelming the already poor infrastructure. I pray they never find a way to come to Anegada..
