St. Maarten Cruise Reviews

We took a shared van from the port (just walked up, no reservation) to Orient Beach. It was a nice drive and pretty beach, though the wind and surf were high. We had a few beers and rented chaises and an umbrella on the southern end of the beach. ...

We went on a tour to the French side of the island, which was interesting. We walked round Marigot and went in a patisserie where we had the best coffee and cake we had all week. It's a nicer place than Phillipsburg where gold and diamond sellers hound you for business. Next time we will get a taxi straight to Marigot. ...

Great Beaches ...

Pretty island very busy at the pier but water taxis and buses available to take you into Philipsburg. ...

Really liked St. Maarten, went to Orient beach. Would have preferred more time in port. ...

As we have been here a few times we just did our own thing and went to the beach. This day was the biggest number of cruise passengers in St Maarten on one day with 6 big ships in port so quite a sight. Still plenty of beach to go around! ...

Awesome time, Daughter was accepted to American University Medical School in St. Marteen 3 days before the cruise and it happened to the first port of call for us. we visited the university and then did the beach, shopping, and local eatery. it was a great time. ...

We did the Kim Sha beach excursion through Royal Caribbean which was nicely organized. The tour guide gave a very interesting description as we drove through the mountainous island on a bus. The beach itself was small and quiet with just our group. Chairs and umbrellas were provided. Drinks (grapefruit juice and rum) and lunch at the restaurant were included and the food was good. Some local women ...

Enjoyable with lots to see, be sure and take Bernard tours for the best experience, since the buses are smaller for a more personalized tour. ...

Did the historical tour by bicycle - for reference it was my first bike ride in 25 plus years. The good news is I made it lol and realized how much I missed it - it was great cycling around in St Maarten, the weather was awesome! ...
