Hope all these participants are lawyered up.

When I read the headline, I assumed this would be an article about Rossi trying out his new hot tub. No, it is just Rossi, Cruise ship flunky Fitton and the Southernmost Wicked Witch, continuing to ignore the reality the this town has a carrying capacity and pouring 10,000 people onto the island at once will destroy the very attraction that brings visitors (including cruise ship tourists) to Key West. Of course, they have John "I love Cruise Ships" DeSantis to provide air cover with his consistent misleading statements and lies. You would think the editor would care, but hey, we are all one cruise ship family here! Todays lies involve his statement that "Supporters say they don't expect passenger counts to get much higher, and that the bigger ships are designed to house more amenities, such as rock-climbing walls, nightclubs and other features." Well, have you heard of google? Disney Magic, one of the mid size ships that calls here often has a passenger capacity of 3690. Allure of The Seas has a capacity of 6360, although they sometimes state 5500 since this is double occupancy, rather then max. So I guess 6360 passengers is "not much higher" then 3690???? Of course, DeSantis gets away with the lies, and the 3 stooges get away with destroying our island. I wonder if it is time for a referrendum capping the number of cruise shippers in port to 4000. Bring em on one ship or three, but no more then 4000 at once. How about it City Commission? Anyone have the cajones to take on the mighty Swift and his minions?

Who said we were Ok with this "test"? What if it didn't go well? I am sick of all of this backroom dealing the stripjoint owner/commissioner (only in Key West or maybe Nevada!) and the (clears throat- chokes a bit)city manager along with now Virginia Panico and the cruise people.

Testing for safety is a very sensible idea. It seems like the cruise industry learns from recent problems. A job well done
