St Lucia has failed to convince Norwegian Cruise lines to put the island back on its schedule, despite a high level meeting involving two government ministers and officials of the cruise line.
The cruise line had threatened to drop 
Castries last year, following attacks on tourists.
Tourism Minister Allen Chastenet and Communications and Works Minister Guy Joseph, who met with company representatives, have warned that criminal activity, especially crimes against tourists, could force other cruise lines to take similar action.
I support NCL for making this decision. There are other ports just as good or better within a short distance.
On a personal note, I was robbed at knife point in St.Lucia and when the Police were called, we waited for about an hour and no one showed so we walked back to the ship.
Very disappointed to say the least.
The Dominican Government should pay close attention to this situation. There should be a proactive effort to protect the tourist who visit our shores. This means a visible police presence and dealing very harshly with the offenders. In this situation, a few vagrants can destroy the growth of our Country’s economy
One Love Dominicans!
I don’t blame Chastanet when it comes to LIAT because they have a very poor record of service and their fares are way too high.
It is up to the people of the country to help prevent and stop crime, not the govt.
Quit putting everything in the hands of the govt.
All that is good for Chastenet, when you do bad to other and try to keep people business down, you must think of your own. Chastenet chastises and detest LIAT and his reputation to towards the travel industry has preceded him, when you hurt an Travel entity you hurt your country’s reputation.GOOD BOY CHASSY, KEEP CHASTISING LIAT, LIAT IS BLESSED AND HERE TO STAY
The crime in the region is unbarable, there is a high rise in crime in the region. Bermuda, Cayman, Jamaica, Antigua. Trinidad…. Dominicans if you see someone doing something report them. Don’t let them idiot destroy dominica.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
This is my solution.
These criminals have to understand that there are serious consequences to their actions. No deportation, no jail…OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!
Otherwise, people, the entire country suffers!
