And only a small minority of them spend a few bucks. From the looks of SSBB it's more than a small minority. LOL

In my experience, having taken about a dozen cruises, the on board things to do on the ship when in port is almost non-existent. When we got into port we automatically went ashore, except for Jamaica, and explored. We had been to SXM on many of those cruises and explored the different beaches, shopping and tours. That is part of the reason we decided to vacation there. Granted, as cruise passengers we may not have spent a ton of money on the island but we did spread some money around. We went shopping on one cruise, an ATV tour on another and found Orient Beach on another tour. Last year we spent a week on the island in September and this year we will be there for a week in June.

Same here. Our first trip to SXM was on a cruise. We went ashore, rented a taxi, beach chairs and bought drinks from the beach bars. Many from our family cruise of 17 bought flowered shirts for our hawaiian themed dinner night. We did not spend a ton of money that day, but we really liked what we saw and now have returned several times. Now we spend a ton of money! LOL

We also was no impressed with the other islands we visited by cruise. I did not want to get back on the ship that day after returning from Orient Beach. We planned a week which now has turned into 10 days!
