Second Quarter 2010 • Cruising Magazine 5 President’s Letter “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” -Steve Jobs Adaptation has been essential to survival for species and business alike. From battling all the odds of our own forma- tion to fighting the constant problems in our trades, evolution has been the only solution. In order to thrive, we must always be bettering ourselves, our products, our companies, etc. The cruise industry is well aware of this; its constant growth is a testament. Once again, we plan to see a 3.4% growth over 2009’s record setting 13 million passengers. Twelve (Left to right) Judy Schoebein, General Manager, (12) additional ships are underway for 2010, alone, with the Appleton Estate Rum Tours (Jamaica) and same attention to the necessity of progression—displayed Michele M. Paige at the recent FCCA PAMAC by their technological and luxurious features. Even the Conference in Curaçao. itineraries and ports of call are constantly improving. It is this theme of adaptive change and development that you must apply to your business or destination. When water stays stagnant, it invites mold to grow. You must continually pump your water to keep it fresh. We, the FCCA, have also adopted this mindset. We are proud to introduce our committee’s new Chairman— Kevin Sheehan, CEO, Norwegian Cruise Line. We are taking steps to cultivate and expand the Membership Program and discovering ways to further increase communication between our Members. We are also active- ly seeking new venues for our events and ways to better them, as we know that there should never be a limit on how high you can build. This issue of “Cruising” will highlight some of the leaders and innovations throughout the industry-from the multi-million dollar Bayport Cruise Terminal just completed by the Port of Houston Authority; the inventive ideas and solutions that the Port Everglades creates for a dynamic market; how the Port of Los Angeles is improving passenger flow and comfort through new gangways; the necessity and progress of environmental advancements in cruising, explained by Michael Crye of CLIA; “The Evolution of Cruising” by Rick Sasso, President & CEO of MSC Cruises and Chairman of CLIA; the adaptability of the cruise industry’s itineraries based on head taxes, told by Steve Hites, President of Skagway Street Car Company, Inc.; and more happen- ings and events will follow.

  • Puerto Rico/U.S. Virgin Islands High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area and Possess an Expert Knowledge of Its Drug Situation
    U.S. Department of Justice National Drug Intelligence Center Puerto Rico/ U.S. Virgin Islands High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Drug Market Analysis 2011 Source Summary Statement The National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) has high confidence in this drug market analysis as it is based on multiple sources of information that have proved highly reliable in prior NDIC, law enforcement, and intelligence community reporting. Quantitative data, including seizure, eradication, and arrest statistics, were drawn from data sets maintained by federal, state, or local government agencies. Discussions of the prevalence and consequences of drug abuse are based on published reports from U.S. Government agencies and interviews with public health officials deemed reliable because of their expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of drug abuse. Trends and patterns related to drug production, trafficking, and abuse were identified through detailed analysis of coordinated counterdrug agency reporting and information. NDIC intelligence analysts and field intelligence officers obtained this information through numerous interviews with law enforcement and public health officials (federal, state, and local) in whom NDIC has a high level of confidence based on previous contact and reporting, their recognized expertise, and their professional standing and reputation within the U.S. counterdrug community. This report was reviewed and corroborated by law enforcement officials who have jurisdiction in the Puerto Rico/U.S. Virgin Islands High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area and possess an expert knowledge of its drug situation. U.S. Department of Justice National Drug Intelligence Center 2011-R0813-028 September 2011 Puerto Rico/U.S. Virgin Islands High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Drug Market Analysis 2011 This assessment is an outgrowth of a partnership between the NDIC and HIDTA Program for preparation of annual assessments depicting drug trafficking trends and developments in HIDTA Program areas.

Booking for Royal Caribbean’s 2009-10 Caribbean cruises open this week. “Royal Caribbean offers vacationers a wide range of Caribbean cruises departing from seven convenient homeports,” said Alice Norsworthy, senior vice president, Marketing, Royal Caribbean International. “We continue our legacy of delivering exhilarating Caribbean experiences in one of the world’s most spectacular destinations with some of the best ships in the industry geared for family and active vacations.” Vacationers can choose year-round departures to the Caribbean from the ports of Miami, Port Canaveral, Cape Liberty, and San Juan.

While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”.
