Modern cruiseships killed St. Maarten. Long gone tha days of boutiques like Gucci, Fendi, La Romana. Jewellery stores like H.Stern, Colombian Emeralds, the real Little Switzerland. Restaurants like Da Livio, Il Pescatore, La Rosa, Antoine, Le Bec Fin, Callaloo, Seafood Galley etc. Etc.
Oh wow...so correct. You just reminded me of all the places that I miss, and that I used to shop in P-burg.
And in Marigot, I bought Dior purses for much less than NYC. <sigh>
Completed my Waterford crystal place setting at Little Switzerland. Mont Blanc for work....
Now, the jewelry stores barely beckon to me. Barely....lol
