Does anyone see the inconsistencies in Eben Salvatore’s proof of sales at two unnamed stores. It is well known that 2021 was a record year and there were no cruise ships. This year has seen a dramatic difference. Especially during the first half. It was mentioned by the Island Explorer and ANP.
Well, if you take the 3 visits by the pearl out of the picture Eben has calculated 2022 numbers that show 230% increase in regular sales over our record year. 0n 4/4 , 440 disembarked off the Pearl . this ship carrie’s 2300 LBC. It must have only been ¼ full. On 4/14 only 344 were counted . This did not get much better according to a conversation with a ships officer on 5/12 who said the ship was half full. Also an interesting answer from a Passenger when I asked if the ship was full? She laughed and said there were only 10 people on the ship. I did not sit there and take the 4 hours to do a full count of the passengers returning with their bags of souvenirs.
This does beg the question . There were many more land base customers than 884 during these two days. yet they spent only pennie’s at these unnamed establishments.
One of Eben’s stores opened up on 4/10 in 2021 and sold something that cost an even $12.00 and was the only sale. Eben has that same store making the same only sale on 4/10 in 2022.
Having caught Eben fabricating a vital chart off the cruise ship survey and selling at a Cruise Ship Committee Meeting while acting as Chairman of that Committee. I would never trust any data coming from him.
