Excellent!

I know I'm not the only one who has wondered for years why HAL didn't
try bringing one of their S-class ships to Hamilton & St. Georges
earlier.

While (for so many reasons) no return cruise will match the experience
of our first wonderful trip there on the Zenith in 2000, the Veendam
docking at at those ports should capture some of the warmth and
convenience of that fabled itinerary.

It is still under discussion. As you can read in this article the
widening or dredging has some support as the situation of local business
has become dire. A few years ago they had the pie in the sky idea that
St. George did not need the ships. That mega yachts would replace the
lost cruise ship business.

I could not get the story to come up. Is there that many MEga Yachts
to support St Georges?
I am glad that HAL is going back to Bermuda...

No....

Even that's not much. They would only spend 1 day there.

In the past, Norwegian Majesty spent 4 days there, and between the
Zenith, Horizon, Pacific Princess and Nordic Empress, they'd fill
another week there. At least that kept the area hopping.

They need a week long NCL ship there, and another couple of ships at the
other pier in St. Georges. That would revitalize St. Georges.

Getting mega yachts to dock at St. George was and still is a pipe dream.
