Just curious why you want to know this? Are you trying to avoid the onshore ship traffic (which can be considerable), or join in with the thongs of people who invade SXM? As rule of thumb, the most popular days that cruise ships make port in Philipsburg is Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Sundays and Mondays usually have the fewest ships in port. Just kind of a rough guide here. Do keep in mind that some of these cruise ships are modest in size and may carry anywhere from 800 to 1,000 passengers, while some giants from lines like MSC and Royal Caribbean have ships that can carry up to 6,000 people. So, you might want to check that out.

According to cruise schedule there are no ships in this Thursday or Friday and only one Saturday. There are a total of 15k passengers on ships in port today which was communicated on Magic of the Caribbean site.

What difference does it mean to you if they want to know this. Lots of people have reasons for wanting information.

Just asking ... relax dude. Just trying to help them if they want to avoid cruise ship visitors or join in with them. Time to take a 'chill pill' today!

We only go to Phillipsburg when there are at least 2 ships in. Less chance to be called into shops to have a look when there are a lot of people on the street. It gets tiring having to say no thank you every other store when the ships aren’t in.

November 26-27-28, when there are five ships in on each day, I consider to be fine days to be on Anguilla.

Which most of us are since we do not reside on the island.
I do agree through, when I go to Anguilla, it is usually a heavy cruise ship day on SXM.
