Docking in St. Maarten and getting to excursion on time

[racepoint]

We're on CB in April and I'm looking at booking the Rhino Rider excursion independently. My cruise documents say we get into St. Maarten at 7:00 a.m. Is it reasonable to think I could make it to this excursion by 8:30. (I guess I need some advice from someone who's actually done the Rhino Rider thing and knows where it meets :rolleyes: )

Personally, I am not sure I would book a private tour of any kind that early. That would be cutting it quite close. Just because the ship is supposed to arrive by 7:00 AM does not mean it will or that you will be off the ship that early. I would look for a little later time to book a private excursion, just in case.
