Divide and rule. We need to get it together. Through colonization and slavery the division exists. Yet our origination starts in Africa. Malcolm x said it right if children are born in an oven you dont call them biscuits.
$200 USD if they want to encourage movement why calculating in USD. $200 way too high if I come to the Caribbean I would find 200 difficult to manage.
With what happening in the US we have to holiday amount ourself we need to make it easy for the Caribbeans
Wow it only took CARICOM on the whole a few decades to do this? Amazing…ALMOST …1/2 a century LATE…..It is BETTER than nothing ent? GLASS 1/2 full. How nice.
We need the Ferry in Trinidad too. Yes! The price is too high.
That’s great news!
EXCELLENT NEWS 🇬🇧🇲🇸🇰🇳
Good news I hope the travel will not be so expensive.
Get the government out of this let the private sector play the lead Caricom is out of it same old story
Sounding good.
too expensive.
US? 😮😮😮😮😮😮
Oh yes….
Ok great audio
USD 😮 wtf
You believe ya lie
The ferry is a great travelling option but I think it will breakdown into small sections
This is taking too long,plus we should have multiple ferries,like CAL with their multuple airplanes.
There needs to be an easier financial system to do business. In addition we in the Caribbean needs to understand that our roots are in Africa, therefore the leaders of the Caribbean needs to merge with the leaders of Africa,(West Africa in Particular) to create easy bilateral trade and movement of people from both side. The Big powers,like Americans are for themselves, Chinese are for themselves. WE MUST SEEK OUT OUR OWN PEOPLE to do business with, study and educate with, build with, share resources with.
Repackaged news!
I just cannot understand why after every Caribbean Heads-of-Government meeting, a different leader hold a press conference to talk about things that was promised during the previous meeting…but was NOT achieved!
Now in 2025…instead of telling us that they have already identified, worked out, and agreed on the way forward.
We now hearing that they just doing dis or dat…looking at one thing or the other…trying to figure out what…how…when or if this or dat is possible.
If Caribbean governments failures resulted in the shorting of their lives…many of our government leaders would be – DEAD!!!
So much potential for food trade in the Caribbean region. They just need to work together to decide who will grow what food products. Barbados hotel industries has to import. So if the region can supply the hotel and restaurants they would reduce cost of meals, and the exporters would find a huge market beyond the local population, who would also see a reduction of food prices. Win, win all around. Even though Jamaica and Belize also have large hotel industry as well, they too can benefit from exporting to other islands due to their large land mass. We can even work with Panama and Costa Rico
Believe it when you see it
Doctor Eric Williams tried this in the sixties you all are sooo late with this inter Caribbean travels the colonizers never wanted this close relationship within the Caribbean and their finger prints are all over this even in 2025 we the the children of Enslaved People and are still here the children of the colonizers are still here to and are still in control😮😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢
How much for plain flights from guyana 🇬🇾 to Barbados 🇧🇧 does that $200 make any sense
Why USD? THESE PPL HAVE NO IDEA WHATS HAPPENING. TRADE IN YOUR OWN CURRENCY!
This sound like good news once they keep up to their promises. In the 50's there were two boats: THE FEDERAL PAM AND THE FEDERAL MAPLE. They used to travel to St. Lucia and Barbados. I was a child then so I don't know what other Caribbean island they used to travel. The purposes were: cargo and also passengers to their destinations.
❤🎉😊 NICE ! WHAT ABOUT TO TRINIDAD 🇹🇹 & GRENADA 🇬🇩 TOO…?!
ha ha, so basically, more bullshit talk. The Caribbean is so full of shit. They're already at a serious disadvantage and they see and know what's going on in the world, but they'd rather be stuck with the Uncle Tom, house slave colonial mindset of protecting what they view and "Theirs…" while welcoming invading fucking Muslims via Air Peace from Africa and they don't even know that "Peace" for Islam in terms of Christianity, means subjugation, humiliation, and ultimately the defeat and eradication of Christianity. They're fools, and they're gonna get exactly what they deserve for all their indecision because they're greedy and always hungry for money. Nothing.
Barbados is just wasting their time with these jealous, inbred, bad-minded, colonial house slaves with their backward thinking. Really and truly, these are the motherphuckers who are blocking progress, and they are the ones who should still be picking cotton.
Why in US dollars??
I saw it!!!!!!! There have been a ridiculous amount of coast guard zipping up and down and training in new boats, lots if search and rescue, and then I saw the ferry the other day!!!!
