TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Low season?

I am curious. I know it is low season right now but I am curious if the island is slower (less busy) than expected. I been 'seeing' less cruise ships and few posts on TTOL (trip reports, etc.) than I would expect when compared to the apparent glut of travel domestically.

Less cruise ships, for sure. My explanation is that the cruise lines have been moving ships to places where there is more per day income, like Alaska, Europe, etc.

As far as the island in general, reports online have been that the island is reporting at least normal, or possibly above normal, numbers of stay-over tourists.

Good to know. I worry about my friends on the island.

Island businesses are still hurting, for sure, but stay over tourists are really where island businesses make their money.

Yes Folks , it's touch and go situation right now ; but a fairly amount of Tourists are here .
One Cruise Ship in today, well will see some action today lol.

I wonder, can I tell my boss that I need to work remotely to help the good folks in my "other" country with my tourist dollars???

But seriously SXM, fix the damned airport.

Being worked on Icote .

This is the list of ships in for these dates. It's NOT that many!!! Not good for business Leslie!! Sorry!!!
