I've never been on a cruise ship, but my wife has, a number of times with her mom and sister. They find the smaller cruises to be more interesting, and their welcome in port more robust than the few large cruises they've done.
I've been in Cane Garden Bay when several monsters were in, and the mobs of "sheeple" overwhelmed the entire beach, turning paradise into coney island. From the outside, looking in, Culebra has done just fine to this point without a cruise economy. I'd love to hear from Terri, MJ, Jim, and the others, since they're the ones who might be helped or hurt by these.
I'm inclined to think that a very limited (maximum once a week?) number of small (under 125 passengers), environmentally responsible operators might be OK, assuming they don't bring portable bars onto the island, as I observed on White Bay, on Jost. Selfishly, I'd prefer to keep all knowledge of Culebra from spreading, but I also want to see my friends and our hosts make a comfortable living.
