St. Martin Cruise Reviews

Ports we had been too many times but we love to go to St. Martin and the airport to watch the airplanes come in over your head. Get there early and get a seat at the Sunset grill so you can be in the shade for awhile and find out the planes schedule for the day. They have a small beach there for those who like it. A taxi will cost you around $4 a person each way and there are plenty of taxis to ...

St. Martin (Dutch side--boat port) After talking to the Cruise Excursion staff…we decided to spend the day at the beach near port in Phillipsburg where the boat docs--worst advice ever. DO NOT plan to spend the day here…It is a run down, unattractive, actually scary place. We paid to take a water taxi across the way (you can walk in 10 minutes) to Phillipsburg---and within 10 minutes of arriving ...

We booked Bernard's Tours, I highly recommend them. Relaxing tour of the island , on an air conditioned bus. Get to see all the popular sites. ...

Loved st matin. went to orient beach. It was beautiful ...

We were very disappointed in this port. We did not book an excursion but did go out on our own by taxi for a tour around the island. We did both the Dutch and French side. The coolest thing to do was to go to Maho beach and watch the planes fly over your head . That is a thrill ride in itself. The taxi driver called himself Mr. Happy and that he was. Tis is a very depressed county on both sides. ...

In St. Maarten we did the Capt. Bob snorkeling tour that we booked ourselves. We had 5 stops. Stop 1 snorkel for sea turtles, stop 2 a quick stop at some shops and beach, stop 3 lunch (food was delicious choice of fish, ribs or chicken)and beach, stop 4 fish snorkel, stop 5 watch planes. ...

Sunset beach at the airport (make sure you get there before 10:00 or no more room). Lounge chairs and umbrella for 10.00 a person and drink prices between 3.00-4.00, also great white sand beach with mild swells. ...

My main objective for visiting St Martin was to go to Maho Beach to see my planes land. I could have stayed there for days just watching them take off and land. Loved it! Traffic getting from the cruise dock to the other side was chaos so plan your time accordingly, if we had left any later we would have seen our ship leave. We managed to sneak some shopping in before Maho Beach, went down ...

St. Maarten - Family Boogie BoardingWe were trying to find a tour to do with our two kids, ages 4 1/2 & 7. I read a few other reviews about this and it seemed to be a good time so we booked it. The bus ride was about a half hour and we were led to an area on the beach where there was chairs and umbrellas for us to use. The guides, Natalie, Chris & JP all got us our boogie boards and went over how ...

We caught a cab to downtown and bought jewelry and some delicious Belgian Chocolate afterwhich we strolled the beach for a time, had a beer and took the water taxi back to the dock.Beautiful weather the whole time. ...
