On big cruise ship days, Sunset is way above capacity now, with the current buildings.

Agreed, I never get tired of watching planes either. And I think that the former Bliss property was actually a separate parcel in the auction proceedings, but I don't know if it now belongs to Alegria or not.

Sunset seems to be the type of company that understands its target audience and then execute a solid plan based upon that knowledge. Not sure that at my age I am the target audience anymore <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> but I have a feeling this new setup will be a huge hit with many visitors.

Looking at it again, and blowing it up some, I noticed the entrance is now supposed to be inside the Alegria gate. If they enforce that somehow, perhaps it will help what will be the total traffic gridlock the increased traffic will generate, if they actually force taxis--and busses, which I'm sure will come now--to unload inside the gate for Alegria. I hope they also address somehow, people walking in the road. Right now on big cruise ship days, the people walking and standing in the road and on the concrete divider beside the road, makes for a very scary situation. Some may recall the lady getting hit by the cab there recently. I'm surprised that was the first incident that we have heard about, as I can't imagine that was the first incident of someone getting hit there. People are drinking and walking right beside cars going past, all the time. It really is scary.

Unlike some other ports in the Caribbean, SXM has a TON of different things for cruise passengers to do. I wonder how successful that Disneyland thing they are building will be in SXM.

I wonder how successful that Disneyland thing they are building will be in SXM. Location Location Location I don't disagree with what you are saying in principle, but being the first and easiest option is always an advantage. Plus, on the Royal Caribbean cruises, how many other options will be made readily available?

Durathror--have you been on a cruise, particularly one that stops in SXM?? Any cruise passenger who has cruised before (and a decent percentage of newbies) does not depend on the ship to tell them what all is available for them to do in any port, as there are tons of places to get info about where to go and what to do. Some ports in the Caribbean, there frankly is not a whole lot of stuff to do, but in SXM there is a TON of different stuff to do. And in many or most cases, your even semi-seasoned cruiser does not depend on the ship to get them there. It's not like the ship has to provide anything to people, other than to let them off the ship.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it says "new" entrance, not "rear" entrance. But that doesn't mean that would be the only entrance, which is what I originally thought would happen. Yes, I wonder whether it will be open later again. I did see the air conditioned restaurant also. As you said, not sure whether it will be part of Sunset

Looks like to me they are just increasing the size of the place and the current footprint will be included within a new, expanded place.

exactly.... I hope it fails. A lot of residents are going to be affected in their pockets by this projects but, I guess that the politicians don't care about their own island people. We love the island but, am seriously thinking of walking away from the island because of the politicians love for money and screw their own people.
I have no clue about the direction of that comment....you would walk away from the Island because Sunset Bar expanded??? Really??? Guess you don't have much else to keep you there....SSB is one afternoon during our 2 weeks..and the new plans look great! Even if it sucked I just wouldn't go THERE...not eliminate the Island completely

OK, the second comment came from bonsie, not Durothror, the person you replied to and I THINK that bonsie was talking about wishing that the project at the CRUISE PIER fails, not Sunset.

There are a couple of different red sections. One of them does seem to say office, but the others, no idea..
