    Admin i think you need to totally erase some of the negative comments, its lame having it available for people to read its like still having it posted for all to see. And really we need to clean up the city off the vegrants look in every corner and pull them out.We need a hugh park to put them all into so tired of these obstacles.

    Big Move!! we need to do what ever it takes to keep these new links connected.. I propose increasing 5.0 in the streets during days when the ships come into town.. Let’s stop these lil BET wannabes from trying to diminish out good reputations. This again is a big move some of these liners have bigger reputations than carnival and royalty put together..Lets show them what we got to keep them coming back!!

      It is other people responsibility just as yours to clean up….stop asking someone to “go go go” or “cleam them gutters”. It is ours so make the difference in the street start with YOU! If more of us thought that way, the country wouldbe more better. Hope you noticed the green bins around town and hope you also saw the first initiative of adopt the street initiative as well.

    I want to book a tour on this cruise line. Free wines and spirits unlimited? …you are speaking my language. And the destinations sound pretty cool. I hope it does not cost an arm and a leg to book a cruise on this Luxury line.

    Okay, so this is the Creme’ de la Creme’ Dominica!!!!! They do it big. If we start to power wash the streets of Roseau now we will be read for their arrival. Thank Goodness the road project will be finished by that time so that they can be on good road. We nee to build access to the sites to. We can do it if the private sector gets involved. They too will benefit. This is what they fail to see.

      Does everything have to be laced with some negativity? Can’t you just compliment and be done with it? Also, for the record, the word is vultures. Your arrogance shows in your spelling and grammar.

      Wow! it’s good to see Roseau, Dominica as part of a 115 Days/28 Countries World Cruise (http://www.silversea.com/WorldCruise2013).

      This is certainly not your average tourist, so let’s pray they spend some of that money in our beautiful island.
