I say its as much the pilots fault as ground control. Hey you have the charts in front of you, you most likely have been in and out of this destination before. You stop and question. The guy behind you does a go-around. YOU are the PIC, not the tower, not ground control.
UAL 727 lifted me up bent the prop and scraped the wingtip of my 172 taxiing at Stapleton ~1973. Almost on my back. I was following the taxi orange line to Combs off RWY 26 and jack azz just dropped off his pushback from the gate goosed it and nearly over I went. You know as soon as you release the brakes, the plane starts moving. Guess some pilots think they're going to get there faster by riding their brakes on taxi... Some day you'll need those brakes
"Second to the right" at TNCA via runway #11 is Taxiway "E" ...NOT "F". Pretty sure the PiC could see that turning right was a probably a bad idea in the first place.
It is Amerijet. Lol
Due diligence is always a requirement.
Be familiar with airport and parking before arrival.
Brief the runway exit for that parking as part of the approach briefing.
Clarify any discrepancy to the anticipated and briefed route should be questioned.

As we used to tell Marine recruits when they turned the wrong way....You're other right
