People need to realize, MANY "cruisers" had their first ever visit to SXM this way and then they decided to return. That is how I first went there 27 years ago and I have made 60+ visits with 6 of them being via a cruise ship.. This attitude that "cruisers" are a problem is uncalled for in many cases. "Cruisers" have as much right to Orient or any other beach on the island as any other tourist does.

I have seen people who were not "cruisers" visiting Orient Beach who created "issues" also.
