Bobble Head Cruiser Posted January 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi folks, This is my first time post. As George Burns said in the movie Oh God-A test, hope I pass. My wife and I love to cruise and I do all the research. I need help here please. I will be on the Norwegian Gem. We hit one of my favorite ports April 9, Philipsburg/St. Maarten. I found out that there will be six ships in port the same time. My wife wants the security of a booked ship excursion. I always feel I need at least two more hours at the beach ( Orient Bay ). I lean toward renting a car but a cab is 20 bucks or so one way. Question- is there any risks in not finding a cab to go back to the ship with so many ships in port? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted January 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Can not answer directly, but you might visit the PORTS OF CALL boards and see what comes up. Personally, we rarely take a ships tour. Hate to be herded like cattle, and pay extra for the that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhinomike Posted January 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Taxi or renting a car is fine. Our favorite is to book a private non-ship excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Va. Plumber Posted January 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2014 You might ask cab driver about picking you up afterward. Might charge a little more, but still less than excursion prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
