After much political discussion, religious leaders in the Cayman Islands
have prevailed again. Cruise ships will no longer be allowed to dock at
Grand Cayman on Sundays, Christmas Day, and Good Friday. Religious groups
scored another victory last year when they encouraged the government to
withdraw permission for the "Leeward", a gay chartered cruise ship, to
dock. This decision brought accusations of discrimination from the international
press and gay rights groups.
