So many errors! I am going to start editing to improve accuracy. "Ferry to Puerto Rico in summer"? That line has to go!

Go for it and get it updated! When nobody corrects stuff it stays and they do ask for help in keeping things current. Doesn't that ferry still run very occasionally over holidays, etc.?

The ferry goes about once a month, but I don't think it's guarantee that there will be one every month. They usually go during long weekends. I'm planning to go for Thanksgiving, because I want to shop now that new Williams Sonoma store is open.

Is Mapp going to Puerto Rico this summer? I hadn't heard that.

And maybe see if any more than 1.5 million cruise ship passengers landed there since 2004 to update.

I made a few edits, but there are others editing, too. I'm going to print it so I can see if changes have been made.

Was wondering about the cruise data, too, so have to check for current total number of visitors.

All kinds of wrong info on the internet. I was excited to see that there was a ferry from STX to STT and then found out that is not correct.

That's just an instance of something not being updated. The current ferry schedules note that there is now no ferry service between the two. There was for several years and there are plans for it in the future. When you do internet research it's wise to check the date of the posted information
