The Bahamas is back

MOST of the Bahamas is back open for business following the destructive effects of Hurricane Dorian last week, The Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) says.

The region’s cruise body affirmed that business is fully operational in Nassau, as well as a host of private islands operated by various cruise lines.

FCCA President Michele Paige said she was confident that the cruise industry would help to accelerate the restoration of normalcy to the country following the storm.

“There is no question that those affected will build back even better,” she said.

“Fortunately, Nassau and cruise lines’ private islands in The Bahamas are open.... an average cruise call to the Bahamas represents more than US$650,000 in local economic benefits,” Paige added.
