Durathror--have you been on a cruise, particularly one that stops in SXM?? Any cruise passenger who has cruised before (and a decent percentage of newbies) does not depend on the ship to tell them what all is available for them to do in any port, as there are tons of places to get info about where to go and what to do. Some ports in the Caribbean, there frankly is not a whole lot of stuff to do, but in SXM there is a TON of different stuff to do. And in many or most cases, your even semi-seasoned cruiser does not depend on the ship to get them there. It's not like the ship has to provide anything to people, other than to let them off the ship.
