FREDERIKSTED, St Croix, USVI — Virgin Islands Port Authority Executive Director Carlton Dowe via a press release issued on January 7, 2016, announced that Holland America Cruise Lines had cancelled the January 10, 2016 visit of its Rotterdam ship to St Croix, US Virgin Islands.

The Rotterdam was scheduled to berth at the Ann E. Abramson Marine Facility in Frederiksted. Mr Dowe said no details were provided explaining the reason for the cancellation.

The Holland America ship is the second cruise line to cancel its call to St Croix in three months. On October 25, 2015, Celebrity Cruises, part of the Royal Caribbean family, cancelled its call after being scheduled to berth at the Ann E. Abramson Marine Facility in Frederiksted.

Mr Dowe said then that no details were provided explaining the reason for the cancellation. And when contacted for more information, a Celebrity Cruises supervisor told The Consortium that a response would be forthcoming, but was unable to make available any details as of press time.

The cruise line never responded.

      Get your facts straight. The ship is all the way in Europe. St Croix had weeks of carnival and not a single gun shot. We refuse to let a few spoil a good thing. So she pay you been to hear gunshots all day and night? Stop lying and sit your #$% down.

    Well you see, the ammunition used in the gun violence on St. Croix are all reloads. That's just not good enough
    for the elite. They demand only the best.
