Because it is easier to spell St. Martin then St. Maarten. At least that is why I use it.:D

Good question!

 

Cruise ships do indeed dock on the Dutch side

-at Philipsburg, capital of the Dutch side, spelled Sint Maarten

but we'll go with St.Maarten

 

 

Over on the French side, the spelling changes to St.Martin

-but it gets mixed up! :D
