TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin St Maarten named best cruise port

I see the residents eager to sell their wear/services on days that the ships are in. It helps to put food on the table. Almost 30 years ago I discovered the island via a cruise and go on to make countless land trips. All of this help to pour money into the economy. So, I fail to understand your statement. Please explain.
