Enjoyed the water taxi. Cheapest boat ride you will get! The beach is lovely but the overbearing sellers continuously approaching while on your lounger is crazy. Read Less

We took a taxi with Andy. He was great, but the island had so much construction due to hurricane repairs that getting around took most of the day. Too much time in the van and not enough at each stop. Maho beach was fun, Grand Case for lunch was a disappointment, Orient Beach came too late - we were already tired. Read Less

We have previously been to St. Maarten and went straight to the boat after we landed. There was a gap between embarkation and when we arrived so we grabbed a cab for $3 per passenger and went to town. We had a few drinks along the beach and returned to the port. Read Less

Have been to St,Maarten in the past and the tours of French side are interesting and informative. On this cruise we decided to make it a beach day. Beach is within easy walking distance of the ship. Chairs with umbrellas can be rented at a reasonable cost. Read Less

The only bad part was the Oasis of the Seas ported and the area was mobbed. Read Less

Love St Maarten, Can not wait for Orient Bay to get back on its feet. Spent the day on beach in town. Nice shopping area. Read Less

5 other cruise ships in town and I swear, a large majority of them go to Maho Beach (Airport Beach) via a string of shuttles you line-up for. It was SO obscenely jam packed with tourists to see the planes landing and taking off. Neat to see, but shockingly crowded. Read Less

Usually hit Maho, the casino with a stop to Pineapple Pete's for the best lobster thermidor anywhere on this planet. This time, stayed on the ship as time was tight. Read Less
