“There is a real need in the market to keep these services available between the two countries, particularly for the frequent traveler,” commented Nestor Gonzalez, Ferries del Caribe president.

“It’s amazing how the cost of airfares went up so soon as our service was discontinued,” he added.

I don’t know if it’s still the case but I remember reading they bought an old DFDS ferry from the Scandinavian routes and it still had Danish, Swedish and Norwegian signs. I was on them as a kid from Denmark to Norway and from Denmark to England. For kids it was always fun with game rooms and cinemas and live music. Only transport ferries to England now.
