We are cruising 4/5 with RCL and have decided that we will go until the 48 hour limit before our cruise to decide what to do. My work has told us that they will us pay 14 days  if we are quarantined.

I have severe arthritis in my left knee, result of a motorcycle wreck.  When it really acts up I put Capsazan on it. Works great. 

My doctor put me on Nebumetone which helps keep the inflammation down.

I also always wrap my knee with Tommy Copper sleeves, work great. I don’t leave home without them.

Where did you get some Cuban cigars at?

There were shops right on Front Street right off the pier selling Cubans. I saw a sign on the outside of one of the stores saying Real Cubans went in and there were three very nice ladies running the place with a good sized humidor. Can’t remember the name of the place though. Sorry.

You can see its beautiful at Mullet Bay. We did notice that we were there about 3 hours and only saw four planes land over Maho.

Thats great just telling you what the cab drivers in Philipsburg told us.

About our day—hit the shops when they opened about 10am. Found my Cuban cigars and we bought stuff for the grandkids, got lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe then took a cab to Mullet Bay about 25 minutes. Beautiful beach, almost had the place to ourselves. Umbrellas and beach chairs to rent—$15 for two and a lady cooking bbq and selling drinks right there on the beach. Other than that just two port-a-johns to change clothes.

I love this island. God speed to them.

BTW—Great Bay Beach is also in great shape. A lot of people were in the water and enjoying it.

We are just back from our cruise aboard the Allure of the Seas. First stop was Saint Martin. I know I have seen a lot of questions here about the status of the island.

Philipsburg is coming around at a fast rate. You hear a lot of hammers and saws working. From being there in the past it looks about 75-80% recovered. All the shops have come back. They are really happy to see tourists. Was told by the locals that Norwegian has dropped Saint Martin as an itinerary.

We talked to a few cab drivers who told us that no one will take you to the French side of the island. Roads were still under construction and resorts still being rebuilt.

Caught a ride with Denzel who took us to Mullet Beach and Maho. They were in good shape but on the way you can still see a lot of damage. They are just now rebuilding the 5 star resort and the casino there by Maho Beach. Which you can see were completely blown away. The bays right around the airport must have had about a dozen good sized boats still half submerged with big holes in the hulls.

We were told that the Dutch government has sunk 550 million dollars into Saint Martin’s recovery, the French govt. nothing which is why the slow recovery on that side of the island.
