TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Swells Keep Cruise Ships Away/Taxi Drivers Upset

And I'm upset that our cargo shipment probably didn't come in either! Nor have we been able to swim for a month. Mother nature needs to give us a break!

Seems like some extremes for sure.

I read the story about the dispute about how and where taxi drivers are staging in the paper yesterday. Not sure I understood all of it, but I think the government should try to ensure that the wild wild west doesn't return. As far as the swells, I'm sure it has been a very difficult time for those running boat excursions, like our friend Bob..

Some empty shelves in the stores today too.

I saw where some cargo vessels had been told by the port authority that they needed to leave the port, as severe swells are expected to continue.

There is at least 1 cruise ship in.. There have been swarms of cruise pax on quad runners trying to drive undr the front end loader cleaning sand on the road at Maho

I think there were 2 or 3 scheduled today.

Only one came in. Jewel of the Seas.

Webcam shows 2 in port-
Jewel of the Seas & Celebrity Equinox

Saw the barge that was washed up on the beach in Marigot .
