Not quite what I expected.  Didn't think St Thomas was all that lovely;  Charlotte Amalie had alot of cars, buses, just like the city;  sat in traffic for a little while trying to get to the east side of the island.  Also, you have to take public transportation to get anywhere, too unsafe to walk or take a bike.  The beaches were OK.  Not enough ferries traveling to St. John.  Just overall not real impressed with St Thomas;  will go to St. Criox nexttime.

St. Thomas

There is the Dutch side and French side;  Took an excursion to one of the beaches on the French side;  Water was warm, clear, and beautiful;  enjoyed the French side because of the scenery;  Dutch side not much to look at.

St. Maarten

Was on ninth deck-had a stateroom with a balcony;  room was clean and quiet;  ample space for luggage.  Beds were average in comfort level.

When speaking with ship operator or dealing with the customer service on deck five-never a smile-made you feel bad for making any inquiries;  and there was this one woman I spoke with who was extremely rude.The food in the main dining room was pretty good;  service good.
