gomer--The size of this ship, versus the 6,000 pax ships that Royal Caribbean is using, is a bit different, so hopefully it won't be a huge deal at Juliana. I think that overall, it should be a big help to the island, in terms of business, both for the short AND long terms, so it is a good thing, as far as I'm concerned. I would bet a good percentage of the pax will come in at least a day or two early, so as to not miss the ship. I note that the ship will not be sailing until 10 PM, which is pretty late, but the good news I guess also is that those getting onboard will be able to enjoy a nice meal in SXM prior to leaving, if that is their desire.
