But it has a lot to see. Every time we go there there is something more to discover. The first time I went, I had read a lot of bad reviews on CC about the port, the language, them not accepting USD, etc etc. But when I went in person, I honestly found the reviews to be very exaggerated ( or perhaps subjective is the right word to use) and each time it grew on me. It is now one of my favorites. That is how I feel toward St. Maaten. There is something about the vibe of the island, coupled with family memories made there, that makes the island special to me. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Maarten is also my favorite Caribbean island great beaches, restaurants etc , I wouldn’t mind a time share there we have friends that spend a month there every year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sun shined on the lovely young couple that got married today. We have 4hrs between the church service and the reception on the harbour front. Spent it at Clark’s Point Reserve Woolwich where the bridal party got some beautiful photos taken (actually there were two bridal parties having photos taken). Looking forward to tonight’s reception. Your photos always brighten my day! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just curious why some might object to a move. I don’t know how to find the Floataway Lounge. It used to be listed with the other forums on the home page. I have Ken’s humor page, John’s Bella page, and Dani’s cozy were family page in my favorites. That’s usually all I have time for. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person that said that obviously is out of touch with reality. They should get them to the people who have already made 🍍.

No firm plans- neighbor recommend a walking trail and pub near Hyatt Regency. We made it to Anchorage - been a long long day. lyft is scheduled for 5:30 am to catch the Alaska Railroad to Seward. Enjoy your cruise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first "rent a scooter and just ride randomly around the island" self-excursion I ever did, and probably still the single favorite port stop I've had in 20+ cruises. Love the resilience of the people...I know you can say the same about most of the islands/people, but something about SXM resonates enough that my wife and I have made specific post-hurricane cruises that stopped there so we could spread some buying $$$ around the island. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great thing is that my favorites are backed up in the cloud with everything else, so I didn’t notice being transported somewhere else when I had to upload everything into my new phone.

We did Steep Creek trail last time too and found a park ranger who was out on the boardwalk, showing people a porcupine that had climbed a tree. He gave a little talk on porcupine habits and had quills to show us. Was kind of neat to see. He was on that trail because there had been bear earlier in the morning and was going to close it if they were seen again. We can easily spend three hours at Mendenhall. You could also hire a cab to take you and come pick you up at a set time. I would come back to downtown, do some shopping and then go to Tracey's for crab. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare brillohead Posted June 11, 2023 #95571 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Regarding finding threads one has posted in, I have my settings to automatically "follow" anything that I post in, and I have a single CC bookmark/favorite:https://boards.cruisecritic.com/discover/followed-content/?&stream_include_comments=0&stream_read=unread&stream_unread_links=1 All I do is click on my CC link above, and it brings me to a list of the threads I've posted in that have new responses in them since the last time I was here. If I then want to go to the RC board or someplace else, I can use the drop-down menu "FORUM JUMP" at the bottom of every thread. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taznremmy Posted June 11, 2023 #95572 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Love all these suggestions. I'd add the Red Dog Saloon for a beer, or just to see the place. Fun vibe. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ReneeFLL Posted June 11, 2023 #95574 Share Posted June 11, 2023 @lenquixote I was going thru emails that I hadn’t deleted yet. Came across this one and I can’t remember if I asked you about it. When I click on the link it doesn’t show the comment, but it also doesn’t say it was deleted so I don’t know what the deal is. Anyway, I really like watching the show The First 48. It’s about detectives and the cases they work on. Did you have any really interesting cases? 10 hours ago, Ocean Boy said: That is how I feel toward St. Maaten.
