So $300 for a r/t from Sju to EIS You got to be kidding! That will kill air travel from SJU to EIS. All of these costs are out of control. What are they going to charge a cruise passenger $15. Let them also pay the $100 entrance fee.
For now there is a guaranteed contract both ways at $15 per head. The way the cruise ship industry works is the ship operators put their visits out to bid. Today and even more so tomorrow there will be more Caribbean births than ships. The results will be according to the sophisticated plans of the cruise ship operators. That plan is a world where ports or local governments bid to pay ships to visit their markets. If anyone pays for the airport expansion it will be through hospitality taxes or fees on overnight visitors.
