The people in Martinique have gotten better since you were there off a ship years ago. They want your money - even if they do not want to admit it.
It helps if you can use some basic french phrases and if you have some euros, and do not assume that everyone will take dollars, as is true on most islands.
If you think that the average Parisian waiter is a jolly friendly fellow - you will do great on Martinique. That's a joke - sort of.
