    good news small ships are better for the preservation of our natural beauty. good ridden to the big cruise ships. sure they bring large amounts of tourist but those tourist spend very little to offset the affect that they have on our beautiful island. more important those big cruise ships will destroy our island than move on the the next island leaving us with less than when they first came to our shores. responsible tourism is a must and that is more likely to happen with smaller ships. http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/traveler-magazine/tales-from-the-frontier/cruises/
