TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Increased cruise calls likely for St Maarten

OMG!!!! As if it wasn't bad enough now!!!! The (FCCA) wants to bring in more cruise ships to SXM!!! Good for the island but bad for us "locals" that know how to get around and when, now that all goes out the window!! So on heavy cruise days you know that you have to get out super early and park until they are packed up and gone for the day!

Honestly, other than the zoo at Sunset, more cruise passengers affects us not at all. This trip, there has only been one ship in each day, so Sunset has not been bad at all. The only problem has been the LAKE in front of the entrance by the Dunes Casino, which has a CRATER of a hole in the water. We were warned by our car rental guy to never drive through that water, as several cars have been severely damaged there..
