This week, the always fiery FECTAB exploded in a rage against Norwegian Cruise Line. Their greatest opposition to the project is that the new development in southern Belize will force mass cruise cancellations in Belize City, leaving FECTAB's members high, dry and broke. But government officials and cruise line executives say the deal is premised on the expectation that those cruise ships will not make a mass detour to the south. Why? Well, Colin Murphy says simply, they can't:…
Colin Murphy - VP, Destination And Strategic Development For Norwegian Cruise Line
"Our intent is to create a great destination that our ships will have most of the use of and the other lines that are interested in coming are more than welcome. However, we're talking about one ship and especially during the high season those boats are going to be taken by our ships. In Belize City there are up to 4 ships a day, so then here we're talking about one ship a day - it essentially what we're saying. We couldn't accommodate a whole bunch of ships from Belize City so we for us it's one ship a day."
Carnival Cruise Line currently has the most cruise calls in Belize and Norwegian the FEWEST.
