We first went shopping at the Straw Market and got great bags  from a very nice lady.  She embroidered daughter's name on hers. We then went to the Hilton and loved it.   I did not want to join the crowds at Atlantis as had been there before.   Nassau is not what it used to be, but so what.  It was still nice.

Nassau

We had to cancel snorkeling trip for a medical reason so just went shopping.  Though the area is somewhat run down, we got great deals at Jewels, which is part of Little Switzerland,  on Yurman and Ippolita.  We had a nice lunch at a cafe nearby.

St. Thomas

Only port I had never been to before.  The ship's excursion to Marigot and Dawn Beach was about the same as hiring a taxi for the day,  so we did the latter.  We had a great driver named Joyce  from the taxi co we read about on CruiseCritic boards- she had a  clean, air-conditioned vehicle.  She pointed out some sights on way to Marigot.  Downtown Marigot was very run down and many stores empty.  The West Indies Mall near the pier was ok, and we enjoyed the open air market there.  We then went to the Westin side of Dawn Beach as Mr. Busby's side seemed very crowded,  We had no issues using it- got towels and lunch. Rough waters, but still fun.

St. Maarten

I loved the crown loft.  The bathrooms were decent sized with good amenities.  I chose one close to the Royal Viking Lounge and it was very quiet.  Our deck was smaller than some others, but perfectly adequate.  Sofa bed was very comfortable.

Chef's Table was disappointing- one or two dishes were good, rest not so.We had lunch one day in Concierge lunch and it was ok.
