This was front page news in St Kitts.

Can't have that happen. I missed Half Moon Cay when on the HAL Zuiderdam for the same reason.

I'll bet they hate it more than the passengers... a missed port is lost economic opportunity for them.

Yes, I would guess it's a disaster for many of the merchants.

I hardly ever buy anything at all in port... but do spend on tours and tips for the tour guides.

I think I'm going to start trying to buy a souvenir here and there, if I make myself do the shopping thing long enough to find something I like.

Interesting that they want the falgs ... That's really neat!
Do they have flogs from all the countries they have visited?

Yes, they have flags from every island-Bahamas, Jamaica, Mexico, Honduras(I realize they aren't islands), Panama, Grand Cayman, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, Trinidad and Tobago, Costa Rica, and probably some others.

That is SO cool, JV! I am really excited to hear that.
There are news stories on a regular basis about how today's kids can't find 'x' on a map, and it's just unbelievable. Sounds like yours are geographically aware. Congratulations on that.
