From the Source today, some good news for St. Croix:

"Nov. 5, 2007 -- A cruise ship is coming to Frederiksted Friday, and government agencies are working overtime to spruce up the waterfront and ensure a warm welcome and smooth visit.
Like a brief rain shower after a long drought, the Hapag Lloyd cruise ship MV Columbus is set to arrive Friday morning at 8 a.m., departing four hours later.
Hopefully heralding things to come, this is a requested port of call visit. Most of the small handful of ships that have come to St. Croix in the past few years have come for a short bunkering and refueling stop or were rerouted from another destination.
"We are definitely delighted we have a cruise coming in to Frederiksted," said Malcolm McGregor, special assistant to Gov. John deJongh Jr., in a phone interview Monday. "It has been long overdue."
