Ahhhh, St. Maarten, one of our favorite Islands.

Love, love, the beaches there. So gorgeous! Can't wait

to see the photos. Have a super great day! Thanks for all you do.

Hope the sun breaks thru soon for your beach day! We enjoyed St. Maarten last month.

Beautiful photos! So cool that you can see the ship from your beach stop.

 

Those pics of the dock area in St. Maarten made me smile. We loved it there when we stopped in back in February.

 

Hope you have a great day at the beach!

Hi Chris, Great review.

 

One topic that I can't find out much about is the duration of your groups cabin crawl. I am the Cabin Crawl leader for the May 2nd sailing and we have 110-120 people signed up to crawl.

We have 6 cabins being shown and the distance between them will not be an issue.

 

Can you or some of your fellow travelers give me an idea of how long your crawl took, how many cabins were shown and about how many crawled.

 

This would help us a lot with our planning.

Thanks for your time.

We also had 6 cabins and divided people up into 4 groups. Each person who was showing a cabin once they go to theirs would stay there to welcome the other groups a s them "piggyback" with the last group to see the remaining cabins.

 

It was very well organized. I think we started around 11 and were done just before noon

Just a quick question. Did you have to make arrangements with the hotel to use their facilities? I will be in St Marten in a few weeks on Liberty and stopping there. Thanks For the great pictures. Paul

Thank you for sharing this link. The story is very interesting.

Chris, do u (or any one else on this cruise) happen to know if Reyno is the Concierge or if Junior is Exec. Sous Chef? If u don't know off the top of your head, please don't go to any effort to find out. Thanks

 

looking at his FB page...Reyno is home on vacation right now

[OTownNick]

Mario Reyes & Filip Mirkovic are the concierges in the Concierge lounge now - not sure of the Diamond Loungr

 

Ah, thank you!!!

[Susie51]

Chris, everyday I am awed by your fantastic pictures. The time you spend doing this live thread is appreciated so much.

 

The San Juan pictures brought back great memories and the beach pictures at St. Maarten makes me determined to get there one day.
