Itsmeee Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 1 hour ago, John Wright said: The first one is booked to visit early July. MNH will close the doors of agreed attractions, exclude the Manx tax payer public for the day, herd the cruisers onto coaches and bus them round with no human contact. No human contact - Apart from with the bus driver, the tour guide and the MNH site staff at an absolute minimum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more continental type food rather than Pie & chips & English food like you’d be used to in bunker You can always guarantee something negative from Pongo!!

Do these cruise ships actually being any money into the island, particularly when they'll only be going to a few select MNH sites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry. The bus driver will refuse to take them because they aren't keyworkers, so they'll never get off the ship. 20 minutes ago, Zarley said: Do these cruise ships actually being any money into the island, particularly when they'll only be going to a few select MNH sites? They probably cost a lot of money to get them here, as DfE regards its main purpose as spending government money, that's no problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But look at what they are actually offering: A cod recreation of Asian cooking. A food hall. Water slides. A robot barman and Lego. That's not aimed at a sophisticated clientele. It's more like a floating shopping centre. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
