While I can't find the story online yet, the full Daily Herald says that the cruise ships are not going to come back until some date in December now. Disappointing news for downtown merchants, taxi drivers, etc..

Royal Caribbean will restart calls in December. Carnival will restart calls in January. Norwegian continues to pull St. Maarten off at least through March.

Had you been told by Royal Caribbean that you definitely were stopping in SXM?

just got this now !!!! We have a few updates regarding your clients’ Adventure of the Seas, November 18th sailing. Due to the recent storms’ impact on the Caribbean, we had to make some modifications to their itinerary. We will now be visiting Martinique, instead of St. Maarten, and also made changes to the order in which we will be visiting some ports of call. For your convenience, all changes are outlined below: Day Date Port Name Arrival Time Departure Time Sat 11/18/2017 San Juan, Puerto Rico 6:00 AM 8:30 PM Sun 11/19/2017 Basseterre, St. Kitts & Nevis 9:00 AM 6:00 PM Mon 11/20/2017 St. Johns, Antigua 8:00 AM 5:00 PM Tue 11/21/2017 Martinique 8:00 AM 5:00 PM Wed 11/22/2017 Castries, St. Lucia 9:00 AM 6:00 PM Thu 11/23/2017 Bridgetown, Barbados 8:00 AM 5:00 PM Fri 11/24/2017 Cruising Sat 11/25/2017 San Juan, Puerto Rico 6:00 AM 8:30 PM We are sorry for the impact that this storm has had on your clients' vacation, and appreciate your patience as we work through this. We are looking forward to welcoming your clients onboard. We know that they will have a great time!

Martinique stinks. Unless you speak French, they will treat you very poorly there.

Carol, my experience with Martinique was very different. The people were great, we joked that they seemed to hate the EU French. Loved having Americans in the villages. But we are not on a cruise ship.

OK, that's good to hear, I suppose, but if I were personally going on a cruise that stopped in Martinique, I would still stay on the ship..

Just got an email from Royal Caribbean, December 15th SXM stop on our cruise has been changed to Antigua. The email states they will return to SXM beginning December 17th, expect for Oasis class ships as the special gangways needed by that class will not be repaired till after the new year.
