Several months ago the longtime owner of a Road Town business told me things were slow at the charter companies. I think he was mostly referring to the Moorings. He said everyone expected a banner year and spruced up in anticipation. It didn't happen. We lunched at the Moorings a couple times in peak season and were surprised to see the docks full of boats.

What did y'all see? A slow season could have resulted in cost cutting.

I do think overnight and charter guests are put off by all the cruise shippers.
