FLORIDA-CARIBBEAN CRUISE ASSOCIATION

FLORIDA-CARIBBEAN CRUISE ASSOCIATION 10390 USA Today Way, Miramar, FL 33025 Ph: (954) 441-8881 • Fax: (954) 441-3171 Website: www.f-cca.com • E-mail: info@f-cca.com Mission: The FCCA is a not-for-profit trade organization composed of 21 Member Lines operating nearly 200 vessels in Floridian, Caribbean and Latin American waters. Created in 1972, the FCCA provides a forum for discussion on tourism development, ports, safety, security, and other cruise industry issue and builds bilateral relationships with destinations’ private and public sectors. By fostering an understanding of the cruise industry and its operating practices, the FCCA works with governments, ports and private sector representatives to maximize cruise passenger, crew and cruise line spending, as well as enhance the destination experience and increase the amount of cruise passengers returning as stay-over visitors.

Partnerships Some of the ways the FCCA works with the cruise-oriented destinations include: • Port Improvements – The FCCA provides technical assistance on port expansion, including input on port and pier design, improvements and planned new services.

• Research – Research is conducted and provided to destination partners in an effort to create a better under standing of cruise passengers; improve the landside product delivery; and maximize cruise tourism’s benefits.

FCCA Outreach Program – FCCA training seminars provide destination partners with valuable information regarding cruise passengers—their wants, needs and habits—enabling the destinations’ private and public sectors to optimize the impact of cruise tourists in their country. The FCCA has five main training programs: • Service Excellence: “Cruise Passengers Equal Profits:” Workshop on the importance of excellent customer service and the economic impact of the cruise industry.

• Taxi Pride: Entertaining and informative workshop geared toward taxi drivers, tour operators and vendors providing ground transportation. It focuses on five main areas: courtesy, professionalism, marketing, rules and safety.

•

FCCA/Aquila Training: The FCCA and Aquila Center for Cruise Excellence partnered to offer programs to improve the service levels and passenger satisfaction for destinations, tour guides and tour operators.

From an online training course for tour guides and a two-hour workshop for tour operators to an intensive onsite program encompassing greeters, taxi drivers and everything in between, there is a training program to help tour guides, operators and destinations increase customer service, understand the industry’s and cruise passenger’s wants and needs, and positively impact guest satisfaction.

Additionally, the FCCA will design outreach programs based on destination requests, including, but not limited to, specialized training; customized meetings; and site visits to inspect and discuss new or planned infrastructure developments.

Arison, 70, followed his education with a two-year stint in Carnival Cruise Lines sales department. He became reservations manager in 1974, and took over the post of vice president of passenger traffic in 1976, succeeding to the presidency of Carnival in 1979. In 1990, he was appointed chairman by the company’s board of directors. In 2013, the role of Carnival Corporation & plc chairman and CEO was split with Arison continuing to serve as chairman and longtime Carnival board member Arnold Donald named CEO. In 1987, the company went public, generating $400 million for future expansion. As Carnival continued its growth through the traditional avenue of new ship construction, Arison also sought to expand the company’s cruise operations by entering new market segments of the industry.

In 1989, Arison engineered the acquisition of the venerable Holland America Line, giving Carnival entry to the premium segment of the cruise industry. Arison also led the company’s effort in the acquisition of ultra-luxury leader Seabourn, as well as Cunard, operator of the world’s most famous ocean liners, and Costa Cruises, Europe’s number one cruise company.

Arison also spearheaded Carnival Corporation’s acquisition of P&O Princess Cruises, one of the most recognizable names in travel, in a deal valued at approximately $8.2 billion. The combined Carnival/Princess group, named Carnival Corporation & plc, is the largest cruise vacation group, with a diverse portfolio of brands catering to vacationers from all over the world. Carnival Corporation & plc is truly a global vacation leader with its stock trading on both the New York and London exchanges.

Under his direction, Carnival Corporation & plc has grown into the largest, most successful cruise operator in the world.

Arison’s keen attention to marketing and growth priorities has also increased revenues from approximately $600 million in 1988 to $18.9 billion in 2018.

Today, as chairman of Carnival Corporation & plc, he oversees diversified travel and tourism holdings, including cruise ships serving virtually every market segment -- from contemporary to ultra-luxury -- as well as leading tour operators and hotel chains in Alaska and the Yukon Territory.

Arison is past-chairman of the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA), a trade organization whose mandate is to provide a forum for discussion on legislation, tourism development, ports, safety, security and other cruise industry issues.

Arison’s contributions to the cruise industry have been recognized by a wide range of international organizations. He has been named an “Officer of the French Legion of Honor” – the country’s highest civilian honor – by French President Jacques Chirac, received a honorary doctorate in naval architecture from the University of Genoa, and was awarded the Decoration of Commander, First Class, of the Order of the Lion of Finland by the President of the Republic of Finland.

He has also been awarded the insignia of “Onorificenza al Merito della Repubblica Italiana” by the president of Italy, which confers that country’s highest title on a civilian.

DESTINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Barbados’ Prosperous Past and Prolific Present Cruises to a Festive Future The year was 1909 when The West India Committee started promoting cruise itineraries to the Caribbean with the sole purpose of increasing public awareness about the ease and affordable access to the West Indies by cruise ship. Barbados soon became one of the more popular ports of call, welcoming its first organized cruise in 1910 when the 8,000-ton Ortana arrived on January 18th from Southampton on a voyage that began two weeks earlier on January 5th. This was the first all-inclusive Caribbean cruise to the region.

Following their stop in Barbados, passengers were transferred to a yacht and continued their Caribbean cruise.

During this era, travel for health and wellness were the primary motivators. The cruise package was advertised as offering travelers “a new, healthful, refreshing and entirely delightful holiday.”

During the infancy of the cruise industry, ships arrived early in the morning and departed at midnight. With many itineraries featuring at least a full day in port with ships departing late, visitors were able to experience a multi-faceted encounter with the island. Shore excursions had a magical formula, which highlighted the diversity of Barbados. The island tour included shopping, 102

Cruise Industry Profile s

lunch and a cross-country tour ending at a spectacular beach. Visitors were then treated to supper and returned to the city to enjoy its nightlife that featured musical performances at some of the main theatres and entertainment at city hotels. Ships sailed away at midnight to the next Caribbean port.

The cruise ship industry of the past provided Barbados with major exposure, which influenced the growth of long-stay arrivals to the island. Thanks to this successful history, Barbados continues to welcome several cruise liners bringing numerous visitors to its shores.

The island also continues to attract many visitors for stay-over visits, with efforts particularly heating up during summer when cruise calls cool down. As it was in the past, Barbados’ diversity of experiences ensures constant day and nighttime activities guaranteed to enthrall the most discerning traveler.

The Crop Over Festival celebration from early June to the first Monday in August each year is the island’s biggest cultural festival. It features weeks of music, art, craft and food, and culminates with one massive street party on Grand Kadooment Day filled with costumed

DESTINATION HIGHLIGHTS

revelers dancing for hours along a parade route. Often, the World’s Wealthiest Female Musician and Barbadian Cultural Ambassador Rihanna appears easily alongside her people enjoying the annual celebration. For visitors who cruise into the island for just one day, the newly created Festive Fridays party, a stone’s throw away from the cruise port, serves up a sample of the Crop Over Festival, inclusive of street parade with pulsating music.

But Crop Over and Rihanna are just two of the most wellknown features of Barbados. Here is a small sample of facts also unique to Barbados: • Barbados remained a colony of England from its initial settlement in 1625 until Independence in 1966.

It is the only island in the Caribbean never to have changed hands during the bitter British/European battles for colonies; • Barbados has the third-oldest Parliament in the British Commonwealth, dating back to 1639; • Rum (and the name “rum” or “rumbullion”) was created in Barbados, and the oldest rum—known as Mount Gay Rum—is still being manufactured today along with fine rums from other awarded distilleries; • Barbados is the only country visited by George Washington (later President George Washington) outside of North America in 1751; • The Treaty of Oistins that was negotiated and signed at The Mermaid Tavern in Oistins in Barbados in 1652, and its concept of “No Taxation without Representation” was the inspiration for the Boston Tea Party in 1773 and subsequently included in

the American Declaration of Independence in 1775.

A careful reading of the two documents would reveal that about half of the Treaty of Oistins has been incorporated into the American Declaration of Independence; • The oldest Jewish synagogue in the Western Hemisphere is located in Barbados; • Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill is the largest and only complete sugar windmill surviving in the Caribbean.

• Mount Hillaby, Barbados’ highest peak, is actually the top of an undersea mountain range that extends from Trinidad to Puerto Rico. Mount Hillaby is the only part of the range that sticks out above the water; • The collection of great houses and historic churches includes the St. James Parish Church, where the First Settlers are buried; Adding to this robust history and inimitable features are countless attractions, many of which begin when the sun goes down. Some of the Barbadian night attractions that come highly recommended include the Historic Garrison Night Tour, a guided walking tour of the area that features the macabre history of crime and punishment at this remarkable site. Further south, a visit to St. Lawrence Gap showcases a multitude of bars, restaurants and nightclubs, while an evening in Oistins is a more casual experience featuring grilled seafood dinners, drinks and karaoke with the locals.

The West Coast is much more glamorous and would have probably appealed to the Rothschilds and Vanderbilts when they visited over a century earlier – if its attractions had existed then. The exquisite Cruise Industry Profile s

Limegrove Lifestyle Centre—with its range of highend boutiques, luxury goods and international cuisine— beckons the affluent in search of unique treats. Nearby, an evening in 2nd Street, Holetown may reveal the hideout of a visiting celebrity enjoying drinks, food or a party with friends.

Just along Barbados’ shores, above and below, even more charming evening experiences await. A cruise on a catamaran, like Tiami or Cat & The Fiddle, offers a delectable buffet, countless cocktails and an impressive sunset viewpoint. The Atlantis Submarine fascinates with a nighttime dive that showcases the beauty of the coral reef and exposes the hiding places of underwater night predators.

Overall, the vast number and amazing diversity of attractions and experiences in Barbados encourage an even longer stay than early morning to midnight can fulfill, 104

as it did so many years ago. It was this previous model that drove the development of the land-based and hotel sector in the 1900s. The longer the cruise stay and island encounter, the greater the attraction to its people, beautiful landscapes, food, rich heritage and beaches.

Staying in Barbados before or after a cruise vacation is undoubtedly a must. Daily airlift from major cities and gateways in Canada, USA and the UK make this dream vacation closer to reality. Furthermore, Barbados’ assortment in accommodation choices caters to those looking for luxurious all-inclusive resorts, intimate hotels with outstanding service and amenities, private villas or a home away from home like an Airbnb or HomeAway property.

The future of Barbados’ cruise industry is definitely looking bright – sunglasses required (shirt and shoes optional).

Port St. Maarten: 55 Years and Beyond On June 3, Port St. Maarten celebrated 55 years of cruise.

It was June 3, 1964 that the A.C. Wathey Pier in Point Blanche was inaugurated after tourism visionary Dr. A.C. Wathey saw the opportunities that tourism would bring to the destination and sailed the island into cruise.

Thereafter, over a period of 16 years, cruise tourism slowly started to grow as the global cruise industry started to develop, and in 1980 the island welcomed 105,000 cruise guests. As the industry continued to grow, the destination hit the one millionth cruise guest mark in 2002 116

Cruise Industry Profile s

and thereafter has catered to more than a million cruise passengers for the past 17 years.

Today, St. Maarten is a successful cruise destination and one of the top options in the North Eastern Caribbean.

This is due to its approach of listening to the cruise lines and understanding the business which has grown by leaps and bounds.

St. Maarten currently knows the industry so well that it has become a destination of choice. This is due to offering

DESTINATION HIGHLIGHTS

quality and memorable land experiences for its cruise guests. The destination has been proactive, which has kept it in the lead in the North Eastern Caribbean for more than five decades.

The turning point for Port St. Maarten was 24 years ago, when Hurricane Luis (1995) caused devastation to the island’s infrastructure. After a period of planning and development, the first cruise pier capable of accommodating four cruise ships simultaneously, Dr. A.C. Wathey Cruise Pier South (545 meters in length), was put into

operation in 2007 – one of the few ports at that time that could receive the world’s largest cruise ships.

A second cruise pier, Dr. A.C. Wathey Cruise Pier North (445 meters in length), was opened in 2009, allowing the Dr. A.C. Wathey Cruise & Cargo Facility to cater to six cruise ships at the same time. This was then followed by the development of Harbor Point Village, an upland retail, food and beverage commercial center at the port offering duty-free outlets, souvenir shops, market stalls and more in the traditional architectural style of old Philipsburg.

Caribbean travel, and Travelers’ Choice Awards celebrates the best in Caribbean travel as chosen by their loyal readers. According to CJ, thousands of Caribbean Journal subscribers voted in this year’s Awards, selecting from a highly competitive field of nominees by CJ’s editorial staff.

Additional investments were made in the enhancement of the Capt. Hodge Wharf in Philipsburg and the construction and inauguration of the Walter Plantz Square and tender jetty in 2015.

St. Maarten also was recognized as a Top-Rated Eastern Caribbean, Bahamas & Bermuda Destination back in July, placing second in CruiseCritic.com Cruiser’s Choice 2019 Awards, which named the world’s top cruise destinations based entirely on consumer ratings submitted with reviews on CruiseCritic.com.

Destination St. Maarten has maintained its competitive edge through continual research, development and strategic planning, as well as key partnerships with the cruise industry, stakeholders and leading players.

In January Port St. Maarten received the ‘PAMAC Award Caribbean for Everyone’ during the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) Platinum Associate Membership Advisory Council Cruise (PAMAC) Summit.

The cruise passenger destination experience score of 9.3 out of 10 is testament to the hard work and dedication from partners in the hospitality industry on St. Maarten, which has resulted in a welcome increase in positive reviews from cruise guests.

Destination St. Maarten offers a ‘Maagical’ experience. It is indeed a port to remember with award-winning cruise facilities. Once cruise guests step ashore, St. Maarten is where your holiday experiences come alive.
