Marcus, I'm afraid I have to disagree with you. As the developer of the bonairesurveys.com site, NetTech has all initial surveys still available through its portal main page at www.bonairesurveys.com. There are currently two cruise ship surveys--one for repeat guests and one for Bonaire residents (in English or Papiamentu; a Bonairean ID# is needed for the English residents survey just to authenticate the survey taker as a bonafide Bonaire resident, but the repeat guests survey has not such requirement.

One other thing, since many of the surveys are authored by our clients, and they simply use our software to get the word out about their surveys, Jake and I have absolutely no interest in skewing any results. That would defeat the purpose of the new survey site and be harmful to the site's credibility. Susan

Susan: I have already completed the cruise ship survey. What I am saying is that when I click on the link in Carole's post and then click on the "repeat vistors" link at the site, a survey comes up, but its not the cruise ship survey that I completed earlier. As far as "skewing the results" goes, I was not referring to you, Jake or the site. I was referring to the political powers to be that, I assume, will be using the data in the decision making process. If you felt that my comments were directed at you or Jake and if this is simply a technical problem whereby the cruise ship survey is still posted on the site for repeat visitors to access, then I sincerely apologize.

Can someone translate a portion of the closing list for me? I will be on island for two closings: 31 Oct 07 11am-5pm and 2 Nov 07 11am-5pm. I'd like to know what portions of what streets are closed, particularly if it affects getting from Buddy Dive to, say, Cultimara, or from Buddy Dive to the southern dive sites. Any help would be appreciated. Four days and counting til trip number 9!

Basically it's saying they will close Kaya Grandi from the beginning of the road for all ships carrying over 3000 passengers on the dates and times highlighted. I'll be there (on Bonaire) at the same time, but don't know my way around well enough to tell you road alternatives. I'm sure the people at Buddy Dive will know!!

Thanks, Marcus for the explanation. When I just clicked on the second link in Carol's post #6258, I was properly taken to the BonaireSurveys.com portal page. There I saw all four current surveys, the two Nettech-authored surveys (favorite Airline and favorite Dive Sites), and at the top I saw the two client-authored surveys, the Repeat Guest Cruise Tourism survey and the Resident Cruise Tourism survey (this one available in either English or Papaimentu.) I clicked on each of these, and the appropriate survey came displayed, so I don't what else you are expecting. Perhaps you thought the repeat guest survey was not about the current trend in cruise ship expansion?

Hi, Susan! Yes, your explanation is very helpful and explains "who is what and who gets what and why".

all I can say is that it was fun to watch the procedure for cruise ship departing, as we sat on the cement wall one night. There's alot happening with little tugs , unting of ropes, whistles blowing, people waving from decks, and that huge monstrosity leaving the port , making the island seem so small and quiet again....anyway it was free entertainment while enjoying a Lovers ice cream cone...you'd never enjoy a night dive with all that engine noise underwater anyway
