Had some interesting conversations with some locals and local business owners on various islands during our last stay. They are getting fed up with the behavior of not only the cruise folks but with the "new breed" of some charter people they are encountering. Seems the clientele has changed for the worst the last 5 years or so. And expect to find a lot more locked restrooms at various establishments.

That's not good news by any means. One of the first things we did when planning our first sail was to learn about the islands and its people. We do everything we can to be respectful, appreciative and polite. My Admiral and I have both lived/ worked in high tourism areas and know what its like to experience "ugly" tourists.
